Viper 1200.1 vs. PA 2400BD

[RandyJ 10+ year member]

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.

Power acoustic and planet audio are two different companies //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have heard of Planet Audio and Power Acoustic using the same components but not the same exact boards.

Not like the DEI 1100D and the Viper d1200.1

ya the abbreviation PA can be a little misleading...we should specify whether we are talking about Planet Audio or Power Acoustik...

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?

Where can you get the Viper 1200.1 for $200? I called IkeSound. They don't have any in stock //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif.

bought it from a member here on the forums. Anyway, I got the Viper in a few days ago, hooked it up @ 4 ohms to my 2000SPL's and it pounds them just as well as my crunch v-600 did, and it was rated to be twice as powerful at that ohm load. I hate the connections though.

Anyone have any reliability issues with vipers, such as running them daily at 1 ohm? Do they take it pretty well?
