Decent at best budget amps....even then in my honest opinion.. I think thats giving them a little too much credit. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

IDK anyone elses experiences with them, but a guy I know here used to own a Kole Audio 5500D.(Basically the same thing as the Power Acoustik 5500D)

He had a H/O aLT, 2 Kinetik 2000's and a crapload of Kicker 1/0, and it clamped around 1,900 watts at 1 ohm.

He ran it for the longest, never got hot, never blew...and it sounded pretty good on the 3 12" Kicker L7's he was pushing, just didn't clamp the power that it claimed.

alright thanks. I'm looking at 2 for 220 total. Sounds like a good deal and if they only push around2k that's alright

Kole, planet audio and power acoustik are the same iirc. Kole is kind of their lower line. It wond do rated power but they are ok budget amps if you find one cheap enough

Does planet audio even exist anymore?

You can add Soundstream too. I believe Epsilon Electronics is the parent.

Soundstream amps do rated power...least the few I've seen clamped have..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I would expect most of their stuff does as their lowest line (XTA) picks up where the best PA/Kole stuff stops. There's an XTA on ampguts -- NOT impressive amps.

I was basically just filling out the conglomo.
