[pcnbaseball44 10+ year member]

Okay i just got my account recredited from my lanzar opti2000d and im looking into the Power Acoustik a3000db from sounddomain.com. They can price match and i would get it for 295.99 w/ free shipping and the 1 year warrenty, brand new. I've heard good things about this amp and its puts out a bit more than the opti and thats what im looking for. I need about 850+ a sub for my DD 10's and i think this P.A. will do the job. What do you guys think? Please help b/c i will be buying tonight!!! Yay!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

IMO power acoustik are mediocore especially at that price, for 300 plus shipping you could get a orion 1200d which will probaby put out more than the P.A.

you actually think the Orion 1200d would put out more than the PA a3000db? I dont know if i believe that. A about 1400 watt RMS amp compared to a 1900 watt RMS amp. eh not to close. Anyone got anything for me?????

look into the hifonics bx2005d, very good and reliable amp imo

The a3000db should give you a solid 2000 watts. ~2000 watts for $260 is an excellent deal. It will surely put out a lot more power than the 1200d.

Thats exactly what i thought! The orion would be giving me about 600 watts while the PA would be giving me close to 950. I've also heard that PA's amps are great budget amps but you always gotta make sure b/c you have people like this that just say things that dont know the facts. By the way, Hifonics are very very overrated and they just arent to great of an amp, i bet you could get the same as the orion with that Hifonics.

For that price, just get the a3000db. You'd be hard pressed to find that many watts for that price. And you're getting a 1 year warranty. I had one for a few months and it was great. It gave my xxx a run for its money.

Watts shouldnt be the only thing looked at when purchasing amps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I just dont want to half to think about an amp coming bad to me. I've already been ampless for 5 weeks now b/c of this **** Lanzar from Quality Car Audio (Shittiest *** Freaking Company EVER!!!!)...ha okay, but yeh i just want to buy new and with a warranty. This will put out close to that power though so ill be happy. I've heard good things...

PA A3000DB is a great solid amp....I had one running my 2 L7 twelves@1ohm and it didnt even warm up....I had the amp at half gain and eq at half gain and those things moved...It was all stolen a week after my install but I am definitly gonna buy another PA A3000DB awesome amp!
