Opinion on PB xa3000d

[matt_bennett05 10+ year member]

I found a guy somewhat local to me selling 2 Powerbass XA3000d for what seems to be a pretty good deal. I have read a few reviews (not tooo many out there) but they're kind of mixed reviews. I will have one *for now* powering 4 Soundstream SPLX-HX2 15" subs in ~18 cu ft.... Opinions?

good amps, my buddy ran one but it kept burning up. Could've been his electrical though

Well i do believe i should have ample electrical... 200a alt; redtop under hood; 2 yellowtops in rear; big 3 1/0; and possibly another run of 1/0 before long (soon as i get of my yass and do it)

I like the other PB amps. I havent used that one that you are asking about, but I hear they do rated and actually, I read about a clamp somewhere, and it was very near rated

 

[matt_bennett05 10+ year member]

Yes i have been reading that they will do more than rated on higher voltages

i think there like the hifonics amps that are out now. they will put out close to rated power but they will b power hungery. how much money the guy wants?

i got both of them for $550... were used but lnib and havent ever been repaired... i did buy them. A guy i knew bought one and i bought one. They were in good condition

Very power hungry amp, When I was first getting into car audio a long time ago I blew one because I didn't have the electrical to support it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

well im hoping a 200amp h/o; Big 3 in 1/0 and a redtop under hood and 2 yellowtops in the back will suffice for now anyway
