That sub setup looks bada$$! Talk about low frequencies...

Well, as a reference I hooked it up to my Hifonics BRX1100 (1100 @ 1 ohm) and noted the excursion, comparatively the BB4000.1 moved as much or slightly more @ 4 ohms. Is this a truly quantitative measurement? No, but it is a way of measuring one amp to another - not to mention the Hifonics...

ah, good catch! 4k Max @ 1 ohm, there is no way that is an RMS rating

Well, I do respect the fact that there is a correlation between money spent and quality of the product. Do I have a meter to read the rated output at 4 ohms? No. However, I will say that the Fi BL 12 I have it hooked up to reached a very substantial level of excursion wired at 4 ohms at a very...

Via the manual the BB4000.1 is rated 1500 watts @ 4 ohms RMS 2000 watts @ 2 ohms RMS 4000 watts @ 1 ohm MAX *edited as I said before, I do not think the amp makes any of those numbers. But, I do think it does somewhere around 1200 - 1300 watts RMS @ 4 ohms and 2000 - 2200 @ 1 ohm RMS. I...

The Planet Audio site is incorrect, the manual actually rates it at 1500 watts RMS into 4 ohms. http://images.planetaudiousa.com/manuals/BB4000.1_EN_UM.PDF

Chinese made or not, I found these amps to be anything but "turds."

Well, I knew the BB2 amps did just below the rated power so I didn't think the BB3 amps would be too far off (tried to maintain an objective opinion before testing). As it turns out, I wasn't too far off - I would say it does around 1200-1300 @ 4 ohms. As I said before, I really don't think...

Hey all, Just an update a week or so after the install. I ended up removing the Epicenter, I really didn't like the way it sounded - I think it is a good piece of gear, but not for this application. I put in the Audiocontrol 2XS, currently crossed over at 90 hz, there is a noticeable...

Cool, let me know how it goes! I am about a week into listening to the system, I ended up switching to 1 ohm with the BB4000.1 and turning the gain way down. I am very pleased with the BB4000.1 and Fi BL combo, I exceeded my expectations. I am very curious to see how the smaller BB amp...

Planet Audio BB4000.1, I just did a review on it in this forum.

Hey guys, I installed the amps today. Here is a quick summary. BB1200.4 For the tiny size of this amp, the output is exceptional. Currently, I am running BBPRO6.5's up front (rated at 150 Watts/side) and some BB650 coaxals in the rear (80 RMS/side). The sound is clear even at 3/4 volume...

Hey guys, got the rest of the stuff installed. Had help from Jason locally, what a big help he was. The processors are under the console where that godawful Bose trash was and the EQ is in the center console for ease of adjustment. The epicenter is a bit of a challenge, it adds so much bass...

When you replaced your fuse with the 125A fuse, did you remove the battery ground, replace the fuse, and then re-ground?

A bit more today, I got next to nothing accomplished due to beer and almost complete apathy after getting back from deployment. I did, however manage to receive the BL in the mail - I must say, this thing is way more beastly in person! Excellent. I put it in the box... it didn't fit, but that...
