Would I be better off to go with an Audiobahn A8000T or A8000V instead? |

Silver Member Username: SweatyogreErie, PA USA Post Number: 133 Registered: Mar-06 | Oh yea, before anybody says anything, I know that MA and Audiobahn are both pretty low end brands, but I'm in college, so my budget is tight. I'd rather get the MA amp because it's cheaper, but if it'd be worth the extra $30 or so, I'll buy an Audiobahn. |

Daniel is right... they're rated at 17 volts and in some cases at 14.4... so is hard for them to put their RMS ratings |

Silver Member Username: SweatyogreErie, PA USA Post Number: 135 Registered: Mar-06 | 17 volts? That's rediculous. Thanks. My budget is pretty low, I'd like to spend no more than $160 on my amp. I only really need 600 watts RMS, cuz my subs are 2 Ohm DVC and 300 watts RMS apiece. I just figured it'd sound better to have an 800 watt amp with the gain turned down then an amp that can only make 600 watts RMS. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2388 Registered: Dec-05 | if you add like 10-20$ get PA a1000db cuz the amp can hold 1 ohm load to achieve 900-1000w rms and puts 800w rms at 2 ohms. The audiobahn is another good call too. |

Silver Member Username: SweatyogreErie, PA USA Post Number: 136 Registered: Mar-06 | I've got a 1990 something PA amp right now and that thing can take a beating. I have it hooked up to one of my Type S's cuz thats all it can power, and it underpowers it by 120 watts RMS but it still pounds. I'll definately keep that PA amp in mind. Thanks for the help guys, good thing I didn't waste my money on the MA bullsh!t. |
