anyone have test results for a3000db vs bamf5500d?

[ktraughb 10+ year member]

as the heading says. just wondering if anyone has any real-world test results for these amps. i know for sure ive seen that the 3000db can realistically produce about 2000 watts at 14 volts, but havent seen much on the bamf series. i notice it has on-board fusing (200 amps). if it can make use of that it very well could be capable of 2k. just wondering because theyre pretty cheap, and i see a couple forum members have them.

The 3000db is prolli one of the better "cheap" amps ive ever seen. Also they aren't too much of a current hog like alot of these "high power" cheap brands are.

I pretty sure the bamf5500d has the same board as the Kole 5500, if so it does put out sum decent power but is quite the current *****.

yeah i would assume the 5500d is the same as the kole (i know last years model was). the only difference i see with this new bamf series is the layout of the board as to where the terminals are. i assume the kole has on-board fusing, but not sure if it matches the 200 amps on the bamf amp.

Bamf sucks, go with the phanatik series 5000 kole or power acoustik, MUCH stronger amps.

the new 10 series brutus amps do rated as well the models have huge upgrades. a 2010 tested out at 2056 watts @ 1ohm on 13.9 volts

yeah the hifonics amps are always a good budget amp to fall back on for good rated power. but of course the 10 series is still gonna be a little expensive in comparison to what you can the PA amp for, especially considering the pa amps are a year older.
