overrated. They come with birthsheets. I've seen the 1350.1 measure at 1000wrms flat on the birthsheet

what about hifonics bxi1208d

Both of the amps listed are overrated but not by much. For the price you can get them for it's still a pretty good deal. The Hifonics I'm not to sure about since I've never used it but I've heard they are a little overrated too but still greats amps.

all of the amps i have seen and delt with including the entry level line of amps have been very well proformers.

all birth sheets i have seen showed right on or up to 20 watts over ratinigs.

my .02 cents is they are a good bang for your buck amp.

i have used many of there amps in over 5 years.

so hifonics vs planet audio

planet audio if you can get ahold of the big bang series for cheap. They bench their rated rms every time and come with a birthsheet saying so, not to mention i have had my bb1200.1 tested and put out 132? (?= some number i dont remember).

what about the other series of amps? big bangs are pretty expensive. im lookin around $200.

 

[skydeaner 10+ year member]

I have no experience with their other stuff. Wish i could offer a helping hand. How many watts rms do you need?

 

[liljojo4711 10+ year member]

1000-1200 at 1ohm

I think the BB series was manufactured in the same buildhouse as Memphis. They do look alike.

^^^^^ok

The PA birthsheets that i've seen showed that the amps do rated power

 

[liljojo4711 10+ year member]

My old PA Vector D was pretty underrated according to the birthsheet. 1-ohm stable 1200wrms amp, birthed 1059w @ 2 ohms, 12.8V. IIRC, dB Don tested the Vector to be 0.4db louder than the Mmats D200HC. Can't remember the setup or electrical, as that was 8+ years ago.

Most other planet amps I see birth pretty close to rated power. Never see any real-world tests to back them up though.
