Newer company located in Florida. Their amps are amazing & the owner is a stand up guy.

Saw these at Slamfest. Their stuff looked pretty nice. The amps are rated at 14.4 volts though.

B2 is top of the heap. As good as it gets. You pay a premium for it, but it's worth it to me in quality and customer service. The Zero.1 is a monster. I'll be getting one next week and I'll do a full review.

Flatline is a new kid on the block but they're fully legit. I tested their 3k and it was super solid. Their customer service is also awesome. Really good guys who know how to run a business over there. The FL2 (their 3k) made rated and then some and was louder than a DD M3a and within a couple tenths of a D5. The 5k just got put head to head with a Skar 4500 and was almost a DB louder, iirc.

Those Popcorn amps are suspect until I get my hands on one or see someone who knows what they're doing test one. And they're being blown out on eBay just to clear stock. I doubt you'll ever see those prices again.

btw, popcorn is actually NOT going to be around. guy is selling so cheap because they are the last ones....We'll see how mine is tho!

Not true talked to the guy and hes getting rid of his "6000 watt" and "4000 watt" amps to start new amps. Going to try smaller amps minis n such. Met with him at his house he has all types of testing equip and also repairs. He's still gonna be selling his 1000w ones and 2500w ones. Ill post guts of the 2500w amp in a min.

Don't look too bad. I won't be able to clamp one of each for another week or so.

From your testing of the apsm 2000, I gathered the amp didnt do that good? I am still waiting how much clean wattage actually can be had from this amp, not sure if i missed it.

I don't think it did well. And I'm not going to test that amp any further. My dislike of AP has tainted my objectivity.

I'd be happy to take it off of your hands if you hate the amp that much. I'll run it into the ground if it makes you feel better LOL

I am looking to pass it off to someone that will test it further. I don't want to mess with it anymore. You're not the first person to offer though. I'll have to devise a scheme to decide who gets it. Lol.
