a waste of money, like many other planet audio products

edit: not all products. i heard two BB 15's on a massive p3000.1 that got pretty loud

decent. they arent brax but I doubt you would hear the difference between those and other amps. When they first came out I was scetchy about them because who they were owned by, but imo they passed that test of not being BOSS LOL

Early Planet Audio amps were made by Zed Audio, those were good.

Theres a couple of the old Zed models on ebay-

Old Planet Audio amps like the BB Series are good. I would stay away from the newer ones, unless you are getting an incredible price on them, then they aren't that bad, but remember, the Planet Audio amps (newer) have the same exact boards as their cheap-*** cousins Power Acoustik, so why buy a Planet Audio when you can save $$ and buy the Power Acoustik? The only differences I saw where that the Planet Audio amps have nicer heatsinks and actually use standoffs to stop the board inside from vibrating whereas the Power Acoustik amps did not.... So maybe a little more resistant to vibration damage than the Power Acoustik, but not worth the prices I have seen the Planet Audios selling for.... Anything made by Zed Audio is good if you can find the stuff.... The old planet Audios were Zed.

I have only used their 4 channel amps and I liked them but as far as their sub amps I think they are way over priced

[team3d 10+ year member]

thats the same one I been looking at . I would go for it.

That amp would be pretty much perfect, I am just not sure of the quality of Planet Audio, as I've never really heard of them until this morning, so I'm just waiting for a few more recommendations first haha.
