Alphasonik anybody?

Hey guys I'm looking at this amp and the power ratings are a little confusing to me. According to the specs if I bridge to channels down to 1ohm to a sub it should see 900ish watts?

Also has anybody used alphasonik stuff before? I looked on ampguts and they seem rather well built. Heres an amp from the same series. I can't find shit about them, no site or anything.

Also I'm not paying anywhere near the price on that site for the amp.

Ok this site clears up the ratings: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_4640_Alphasonik+PMA640HCA.html

Anybody have any exp with them tho? Anybody know the quality of them?

If an amp is stable to 1 ohm bridged, it should be stable to 0.5 stereo, so thats a little confusing.

So are you thinking it won't do what it says it can do?

maybe, maybe not. It just doesn't make sense that it is stable to 1 ohm stereo but also stable down to 1 ohm bridged.

so either it is stable to 0.5 stereo, or only 2 ohms bridged.

True. It would be awesome if i could find the manual online or something, but the alphasonik site doesn't work....

Maybe I should just steer clear of them...

There are a few people here running their 2kw amp with great success, so you shouldn't rule them out completely, especially if its in your price range.

Well Im getting a pretty good deal on a used one. $150 shipped. I figure if it puts out close to the numbers it claims its worth it...

Typo completely ruined the point of my last post... I meant to say you SHOULDNT rule them out.
