Belva BB3000D Gut Shot

I switched out my Audiopipe APSM-1500 for the Belva BB3000D. Seems like the amp is slighlty more effeicent and alittle better sounding. Anyways here is a gut shot for those interested.

I got it from Sonic Electronix for $100 because it was an open box. Its rated 1800rms there. The board said 1500. I know the Belva 5000 is a RE audio board. I am trying to find the RE Audio board this is. It has the same remote bass as the RE Audio CTX series.

I wouldn't pay $200 for it, which is what it is new on sonic, but if you can get one for $100-150 its decent so far. I am going to take it out for a cruise and she how she heats up.

^^^^THIS....

the belvas are Rebadged RE Audio board. The Belva5000(rated 3k@ 1ohm) is the same board as the RE Audio XTX5000.1(rated 2500 @ 1ohm).

Ok i ran the amp hard as i could for an hour and it was barely warm. Way better than the audiopipe, I could fry eggs on that.

Audiopipes have around 50% or even less efficiency... Which is why they run so hot lol. Most quality class Ds are around 70-75% with some high end ones having efficiency upwards of that.

This amp looks a whole lot like the RE XTX3000.1 with a different bass knob, and no internal fusing. The rest of the knobs and power/speaker inputs are exactly the same.

Yeah the outside looks like the RE XTX3000.1, did you find a gut shot? For $100 I think the belva is amazing.
