Sooo, this is on the same level as Pyle and Boss basically.....this forum is falling apart

I would blame it on the economy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I can't tell you how many times i've fooled people telling them i've had jl, memphis, Kicker, Fosgate ect ect when i've actually had budget shiit.

They love how it sounds, but once you show them the equipment their opinion changes. All psychological.

It's funny.

Well, first off we are talking about a $75 amp that does close to rated power (supposedly). Its rated at 1000 watts. So if it does 750 and does it dependably, thats .10 cents a watt. Why is it so hard to believe people like to build budget systems?

Power is not everything. Even more so in Class d amps. 750 watts at 50% eff and 10% THD, or spend a bit more for 1000 watts at 75% eff and .1%THD.

Buying cheap equipment is like selling my audio soul //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Except for Q power deluxes, I love those subs.

But how do we know if an inexpensive amp is good or not if we don't try it. Maybe its a diamond in the rough or it could just be a big pile of crap. But unless we try it, we will never know.

I don't disagree.

History tells us its a big peice of crap. This will turn into another audiopoop trend. Everybody loved AP and said "this amp does rated!!" till it was proven to not even be close.

New Mono Car Audio Amplifier Class D Amp 5000 w Watts w Remote Control | eBay

Is this the one your talking bout???

I'd spend the extra $10 for this one over the "4000watt" one. More caps and better inputs.

Np. It's hard to tell from the pics but it appears that it has more rails(?, Next to the Toroids) too.

Edit: Has more fets as well.

I've since discovered buying used sometimes is even better than new cheap quality. Once in a while an offer comes up to good to pass on.

To a point yeah. But its new, can probably do a solid *1000rms@1ohm and only $100. I doubt you'll find a quality 1000rms amp used for 100 shipped.

*Assuming its similiar to the ap.
