What happened to Alphasonik?

[gunz4me 10+ year member]

Alphasonik was in fact Audiobahn in disguise-- they're owned by the same parent company. Yes, Alphasonik has been around for a while and made nice stuff, yet so has Orion. And now Orion has some shitty products thanks to ownership by DEI.

Richard LeMay, the founder of Orion who passed away in 1993, is probably rolling over in his grave! Good job DEI for purchasing Orion and ruining a great name.

ETA: One of the things I can't understand is how DEI continues to use the HCCA name on Class D amps? IIRC, HCCA stood for High Current Class A. Why on earth should a Class D amp be prefixed with the letters HCCA unless DEI wants to use name recognition to trick the consumer? Sorry for the rant, but I had to get that off of my chest too!

alphsonik owned audiobahn. was their higher product. audiobahn sold to dub. the reason they all have the same specs and close designs is because the tech from memphis went cliff design then to ma audio over to audiobahn which is now alphasonik. i havent spoke to leslie anderson in a while who is the rep for alphasonik 4 louisiana. as far as their website goes who knows maybe they were bought but i have the mayhem 12 and the pma 1200d and it is awesome. plenty of power. my info came from jon linn the memphis rep. bout 1 1/2 yrs. ago about the tech info.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

alphasonik might be be afilliated with audiobahn which aint bad if its the older stuff. but alphasonik's internals look beefier and i mean way beefier than audiobahn's (amps). but fwiw they do rated power and some.

Its audiobahns economy brand. And I have seen many problems with Audiobahn.

One problem is being over rated.

Also I don't think Anaba Group owns Audiobahn.

I just bought two alphasonik amps in the past months for a future intsall. I have the pm2300a for my subs and pm2075a for a set of components. I haven't hooked them up yet, still waiting on a few things before I start my project. Are they any good??? Should I keep them and try em out or jus get rid of them for other brands of amps?
