First I will say I am new to this Forum but not Forums in General.
I am a Moderator for a Couple of Volvo repair forums.

The quiestion I have is about 2 Amps.
I Bought one off E-bay (Mistake) and I know they are Cheap amps but Money was a Factor at the Moment.

I bought this one.

After alot of trouble getting it from the Company. (14 days)

It finally shows up and it is not what I bought. posted_image

This is what they sent.

https://cgi.ebay.com/PYRAMID-300-Watt-4-Ch-Amplifier-Car-audio-amps-Stereo_W0QQitemZ270023700171QQihZ017QQcategoryZ4950QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

After a few E-mails they are trying to tell me that the one they sent me is an Upgrade and it better than the Legacy.

I don't for a second believe it is better.

I could be wrong but I believe that Legacy is better than Pyramid. Unless I am wrong.

I would like to hear Opinions on what everyone thinks.

Thank You for any replies.

Both amps are considered low-end low-quality, but no, I would not call Pyramid "better" than Legacy (although I would not recommend using either brand for very long.) If I was forced to choose at gunpoint, I'd choose Legacy.

By the way, the forum rules clearly state that EBay links are blocked by the server. Please simply list the make/model of gear instead of posting ebay links. Thanks.

They are in the same boat. I was told they are made by the same manufacturer. I personally have not looked into to it because it does not matter to me, they are both crap imo. This is why I strongly suggest people do not purchase from flea bay. Just so ya know e bay links are blocked by the filters on this forum per the forum rules.
