Strength:

Very stout amp. I'm pushing 2 kicker 12" L7 solo-barics (the square ones!!!), and they'll knock your head off!!!!! Great deal for $400! They hit about 145db and thats cool for a couple of twelves, no caps, extra battery or anything. YOU DIG??

Weakness:

WEAKNESS?????? THERE AIN'T ONE!!!!

I SAY IF YOU CAN FIND ONE...............BUY IT!!!

Strength:

It was cheap and it looked good. I liked the way the wires plugged into the amp (forgot what they are called)

Weakness:

Wasn't that powerfull

It was a good amp, but it wasnt anywhere near as powerful as stated. I had it running 2 12" MTX Thunder 8000 which handle 400 rms each. It sounded the same as my friends Thinder 6000 with his 300 wrms kenwood amp.

Strength:

Being a d class amp it puts out more bump at the same watts as my pyramid artic series.

Weakness:

Having the controls under the dust cover make it a pain if you need to any adjusting.

I paid $400 to crutchfield for this beauty. I have it bridged and pushing an alumapro bp-8, my stereo never has sounded so good. this amp is incredable, I would recomend it to anyone who desires to have a good sounding system. I would have gone with a bigger speaker if i had room in my f-150 truck (not extended cab), this amp could push anything!!!

Strength:

Very strong amp, low price, low ohm impedance.

Weakness:

The switch for stereo and bridged. Very easy to forget about.

Best amp i ever had. used it to run two 12" PPI 8-ohm, and one 12" Polk dx 4-ohm. Ran it in 2-ohm bridged mode, forgot to switch it to bridged, and fried it. Really made my subs hammer, and its under warranty so im going to get another one soon. Plan to use it to run four 12" orion xtr pros in the near future. takes little draw from the battery, but i still run a cap just to be safe. i recommend this amp to anyone that wants to put a monster system in their ride.

Strength:

Class D efficient design, runs much cooler than amps with the same power, reproduces very clean sound, 1 ohm stable, looks good.

Weakness:

HA! No built in crossover for a good reason, this amp is made to drive only subs!

What an amp. Right now its running mono to 2 Audiobahn alum12's and is shoving like you wouldnt believe. I am very happy with it but I want to give three 12 infinity perfects a try and see how it hits in a drag. The list price of $1000+ is a little steep. I would have paid $400 for it too but I got mine from crutchfield for $339 new, and it is worth every penny.

Strength:

CLEAN power, and lots of it, digital amp puts out 1000 rms at the current draw of a 480 rms amp. Looks good, and its small.

Weakness:

no x-over, only plays up to 400 hz, (not that it matters, know of any 1000 watt tweeters?)

This amp is the core of my system, and it has the power to do it. It is small enough to fit in your trunk (unlike the kappa), and still can pump out 1400rms at 2 ohms bridged (1000rms at 4 ohms). Being stable into one ohm means that you can run up to four 4 ohm subs off one channel, eight total (hrmmm, there's an idea). For $400, u can't beat it.

Strength:

Powerful, cosmetically appealing (it matched my car's interior)

Weakness:

It has a tiny lil' screw to keep the translucent blue cover on, and it's easily lost.

The Beta Digital 300 is the baddest amp i've ever had. It slams my two Rockford Fosgate 18's, and hey, that's awesome. I wish that Infinity still made 'em 'cause i want some for the ol' mids n' highs, you dig? I know a guy named Wooky. I think i gave 'round $400 for it.

Strength:

This is a GREAT amp. It is definitely the LAST amp I will ever purchase... unless I add-on for my mids and highs. No cap needed here.

Weakness:

No crossover.. but OH WELL! Still a GREAT amp.

I happened upon this amp for $400... It was brand-new and still in the box. I think that I may have gotten a pretty good deal considering this amp sells brand new for over $1000. teeheehee.

WOW that is all i can say. I sold a PPI PC2150 and bought the 300 and all i can say is i am glad that i did! The beta is a class D amp and it pulls less power for 1000 watts than the PPI did for 600, sounds just as good if not better. No more dimming lights and no more Cap. I love this thing. I wish i haden't bothered with PPI even though the Beta doesn't have a built in crossover the cost diff is worth it. I'm kinda supprised that i haven't seen anyone compete with these considering that the world record is held by MMATS which are class D also.

Strength:

im happy with the beast

Weakness:

smoke smoke and more smoke coming out of the back of subs that is distroied 2 mtx 7000s and one big boom and tons of smoke out of a pionner 10 hahaha and the connectors are easily broken

well im gonna have to say that im afraid to run my vega 124s on it in parallel so its just in series untill compitions this summer and then well see some more carnage, but right now its loud enough to set off my friens car alarm at night when i pull up next to his grauge so thats good enough make sure you have some beasty subs before you get this thing or they will be gone very soon
