Ground Pounder Series from Crunch

[DjiNN 10+ year member]

Do you guys know why they put 2 different wattages?

ex. 440-Watts x 2-Chs or 220-Watts x 4-Chs Dynamic Music Watts

200-Watts x 2-Chs or 100-Watts x 4-Chs RMS

what the heel is dynamic watts??

im actually thinking of getting the xenon PG amp or maybe the Octane series .. which one is better?!

Dynamic power sorta is their way of a disclaimer without actually saying it. Dynamic in reference to supplied voltage means that it does different output wattage at 12 or 14 volts....Dynamic sussgests a "range" of actual output thats possible.....sorta.... its a bullshit rating method

I dont care what anyone else says about crunch, there a hellva lot better than boss... There perfect for a budget, the gp1600.1 rated at 800rms at 1 ohm does 1300rms. Makes you think.

Crunch is not bad at all...not like some people on here THINK, just cause its not the BEST name brand, they think its trash. When really some of the cheaper names are made right beside the big names //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif makes you wonder what you are really getting.

the only reason why i was looking at crunch was because :

1) its cheap

2)it has the output i want

3)is good enough for my application

I was planning on getting the 4-channel since my brother was telling me that 4 channel is better than 2 because you can always have those extra channels if needed. If i bridge the channels i can get 200watts x 2 @4ohm which can power my SLC's good enough. The orion i have is good but i want to see how much better it will sound with more watts.

In the Crunch line, we always show RMS and Dynamic Power

Dynamic power is "peak power"

Prior to Maxxsonics purchasing Crunh and Hifonics, the Crunch amps were cheaply made and not very reliable. Atleast no more reliable then the other amps in the same price range.

Todays Crunch amps are far superior to prior designs and produce the most bang for the buck.

Read some of the posts on dB Drag forums and see how well they handle punishment under the worst conditions.

How much of an increase in power would you get going to the crunch from the Orion? Im no fan of DEI, but I would think that the orion would be a much better amp.
