Nothing Good

Lol i bought this pyramid amp for $40 it was like 600 watts rms or sumthin i wanted to see how long it would last..i wired it to 8 ohms, turned everything all the way up, didnt last 15 minuted before there  was smoke and tha smell of a fried amp...didnt even blow the fuse lol.

My friend had a Pyramid 1000W amp that couldn't blow a couple of 200W peak Rockford Fosgate speakers, heh. I had a couple of Pyramid 12" subs a while ago that put out less bass than my 6x9"s do now (I blew those subs rather quickly)

   I don't think Alphasonik should be on that group. I don't even think it's fair for the others brands that you named to be there with Pyramid. I mean Pyramid is so bad that they have no equal. You are talking about a company that makes an amp and intead of using transistors they use small two channel amps ( like the ones inside head units) and call it a 500 watts amp. Or make a 125x2 rms amp and call it a 1000 watts amp(you are lucky if you get 50rms with 20% thd).

 The subs on the other hand are great to sell at  flea markets (buy a 10inch for $8 and sell it for $40-$50).

Yeah pyramid is the only one one that list that I have had any direct experience with. A friend told me had ordered two 12" subs and a 1000 watt amp. I was asking him the specs and he said that the RMS wasn't listed. I was like man if it doesn't give RMS you most likely got screwed. Well about a week later I got a phone call and I was right he got screwed. He paid something around 400 dollars for utter pieces of crap. the amp fed the subs so much distortion that the gain was down to like zero and there was constant clipping. Stick with reputable brands, Myself I only like to deal with name brands because if an unexperienced customer comes in and trys to buy that low end crap thinking that it will "thump" and argues to have it installed, when and if I do install it I have to put up with their disapointment. Thats just my thought on the topic.
