I was just wondering if anybody knows anything or has any advice about audiobahn amps especially the A8002t. I was thinking of buying one, for about $275 used, I was just wondering if these amps are any good at all...

these are the specs for the a8002t:

2 Channel
2 Ohms Stable Stereo
2x200W RMS @ 4ohms stereo
2x400W RMS @ 2ohms stereo
1x800W RMS @ 4ohms mono (bridged)
S/N Ratio: > 100 dB
Variable Subsonic Filter: 20 Hz - 50 Hz
Variable High Pass Xover (18 dB): 50 Hz - 750 Hz
Variable Low Pass Xover (18 dB): 50 Hz - 120 Hz
Frequency Response: 10 Hz - 40 KHz (+/- 1 dB)
THD: 0.02%

Knock the advertised power rating down by 50% and then you will be much closer to what that amp really produces. Ask for a better deal.

i sell them. $125 used is ok. no higher. also bench it first for at least an hour with a signal going through it. if the on board fuse snaps don't buy it.

Sorry, It's an old joke. You asked if it was any good at all.

I remember a friend saying, "Friends don't let Friends buy Audiobahn"

I have had terrible experiences with Audiobahn, with their subs, and amps. a few guys a knew bought them for the 'bling' factor, and now every one of them hate their equipment now.
But thats just me and my own experiences.....
