My son bought himself a new amp, Belva BB3000D

[Greggk 10+ year member]

So my RF Punch 800a2 amp died, and I was searching for a suitable replacement, and I guess I was taking too long. My son up and used a gift card from Christmas and bought himself a Belva BB3000D amplifier from Sonic electronix. It will be hooked up to a Alpine 10" Type R DVC 4ohm wired as a 2 ohm load. Will I have any issues with this amp? Anyone know anything about these Belva amps?

its another one of those brands like audiopipe you love or hate it

too many unanswered questions to rush to judgement.

And brand that isn't CEA compliant is a hit or miss. Some people have perfect luck and they last for years, while others have issues like the video posted. Personally, I would try to return it and get a more reliable brand that actually does proven numbers. But who knows.

Be easy on the gain settings. These amps have not been proven to do rated.

They're rated 1260 @ 2ohms. I would be careful and tune to 800watts instead.

I'd rather buy a used alpine or RF amp than one of those.

Well I guess I shall see how it goes. I will let him try it, and if it works.. it works, if not, I will buy him a better one.

Get him to swap for a hifonics brx. Still cheap but I think a great amp.

They are junk just like AudioPipe amps. They dont do rated power and the components they are made with are just pure junk.

Get what you pay for. Lesson learned. Guess he should have done some research.
