It has been stated numerous times before. Talk to Murlo about prices.

Please inform me of these other two amps? Off the top of my head, I dont know of any that are capable of being used in a daily application...

Neither of those amps are all that special. I'd take that SD anyday.

The build quality of the AB 1000.1 is no where near that of the SD. Unless Bob can square away the solder issues of his amps, I would not even look at another one.

I agree completely.

The funny thing is whether or not that is the price of the amplifier or not... its still one hell of a deal for that kind of power...

do people expect to get tens of thousands of watts for a few measly dollars...lol

give me a break... if you want to be cheap then go and buy some Visonik crap.

you pay for what you get... dont people realize that..

These amps are not like anything out there. Not to say this is cutting edge technology, but they use parts that other companies do not and will not. That is how they keep them so compact.

Agreed. The free ride only goes so far.

I have much better reasons to stay away from AB, but it's not my obligation to bash other companies or their products. I would not run AB for comp or daily in my car.

If you think those amps are overrated, you know nothing of amplifiers. Look at the build quality and I bet you any money they use top of the line parts.
