No ,crap

 

whats wrong with this amp? we sell tons of them and none,,,,none have come back, sure not tons of power and it is butt ugly but its reliable and its dirt cheap, we have it on for under 200 bucks. what more do you want?

 

A new amp that can do 200x2 rms at 4 ohms, with a built-in xover for $199 is actually a pretty good value as long as it doesn't continually blow-up. Buy it at a local store and you shouldn't have warranty issues either. If you are on a budget, go for it. I paid more for my Concept 75x2 amps.

 

Like sux 2bu says if it doesn't blow then it's a great value.

I was with a buddy couple of weeks ago who bought a Blau pca series 100x2 4ohm amp for $199. The thing weighs maybe 4lbs. Looks ok though and has worked well so far.

In comparison the Sony looks like it's worth a go.

anyone could build a satisfying SQ rig with it

 

very economical amp

 

good bang for the buck...this puppy can be had for under 2 bills...2-40amp fuses, it's got a pretty big draw for a $200 amp. I think it would run a set of components pretty well

 

I think there was a similar thread discussing this amp not more than a week ago that I commented in it.

I'll have to support the majority in saying it's likely a good value. If it dies, so what? Warranty it! If it's OOW, it's not like you spent a G on it in the first place.
