OMG you guys with the CAB need to calm the F down, nobody is saying you have a bad amp, it's a good budget amp... just like there are OTHER decent budget amps. But what your failing to see is the OTHER amps out there, and the CAB might not be the perfect fit each and every time.
Literally we JUST had a thread where the guy had 2 150W Rms SVC 4 ohm subs, had obviously zero clue what he was doing, and likely isn't going to become a board regular anytime soon. What gets recommended to him... CAB 1600.1.... Did that recommendation ask what was his electrical system was? No. Did That Recommendation include where the gain setting should be set at? No. Did it include a proper wiring recommendation? No. Did it include any other advise besides how great a CAB is and will be great for bigger subs in the future? No.
And that's fine for you, because your not spending a nickel if that guy's system goes up in smoke. A Legit 500-800W 2ohm stable amp would have been perfect for that guy.. And likely would have been a very easy solution, and perfect place to start. But nope... We can't start there anymore. Those amps are for losers.
Lastly, how many of you are going to recommend a Soundstream Ta1.3000DL? It does more power than the CAB, is rated by the MFR as .5 stable, and is pretty much the same price.
