Viper 1200.1 vs. PA 2400BD

[SSS 18734 5,000+ posts]

would the Power acoustik be worth the extra cost? Although it would come with a 1 year warranty as opposed to the viper... I can get a viper for $200 and the PA for $280. with the PA I could give my 2000SPL's a full 750 watts a piece (with gains down a bit), wheras with the viper I could only give them 600 a piece.

worth it or no? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif I think im going to go with the viper, but would an extra 150 watts per sub make much of a difference?

and you get this information where... the PA is rated 600 watts higher than the viper.

Viper is under rated I saw a review awhile back. But it sounds like you obviously want the PA so get it.

my pa 1250d is underrated. Jemorgan had it bench tested before he sold it to me. It does about 1400 watts rms @ 1 ohm at 14.4 =D my HC LOVES it. i paid 200 for it, but i got ripped off. on ebay boo1carr sells them for pretty cheap, because he is sponsored by them. I havent gotten a chance to talk to him about it, because i dont have any feedback because i just registered. IMO u should go with pa.

i had viper 1200 and have a pa a3000 now, both are very solid but viper looks cooler //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif but you wouldnt be dissapointed with either one, but i would assume you would get more power out of the pa

well I wouldnt be running the PA to its fullest potential anyway, so basically my question is, would it be worth spending $80 more to get 100 watts more to each sub, as well as a warranty?

I had a Directed 1500D (Quite similar to the Viper 1200d I believe) and the PA1800bd I have now seems to have just as much, if not more) output. I have no doubt the PA2400bd will be more powerful. If you're so worried about it why not just step up to the PA3000bd?

i've decided on the viper. I dont think its worth the extra 80 bucks. i'm satisfied with my crunch v-600, so im sure the viper will be all the upgrade I need and wont break my bank.

how long have you had yours, and how has it been working for you? does it work nicely @ 1 ohm and not get too hot, being a class D?

I havn't heard of too many bad things about the vipers...

ive had my viper for like a good 8 months. Never lets me down, even tho it goes into protect from overheating a lot (poor ventilation and so cal weather = not good.) but it pushes my LI very very nicely

oh im running it at 2 ohm rite now

Nice choice. I have never had a problem with my viper and it puts out tons of power. I remember reading someone benched there viper and it was putting out 1350 or somwhere around there.
