I'm thinking about buying this amp or Power Acoustik BAMF 2500/5, which is better?

Not sure about the BAMF but I have had goid luck with this one. Only drawback is the size, kinda large.

I don't know which is better but I've had this one for almost a year now and it is powering 4 component speakers and a kicker solo r5 and have not had any problems with it. Such a solid buy. I would defiantly recommend this amp. True grit! And I live in Phoenix so heat is not a problem for it! Hope that helps.

I've had about 5 amps in my time and this is the by far the best quality, performance and range out all in the past. Amazon of course had the best price and if you do your homework and compare amps. You will find out that for the money, you can't beat it. I've recommended this same amp to three friends and they all, are very happy with their purchase.

Juan I looked at both and they have almost the same specs so I would go with which ever one you like the looks and sizing the most.

I'm no expert but I recommend Pioneer's 1300W amp. It will sound amazing with that!

Bought myself the Crown x4000 amplifier. Here it is for $300, I believe it's on sale right now? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/crown-x4000-stereo-2x1350w-power-ampWorks fine, haven't had a problem and it pushes these speakers perfectly!

Its ok i guess. I have the power acoustik rz4 2000d's. Ran 2 of them to 2 of them 15's. Have them for sale now for 150$. Less fuses the better. That one has 2

I would recommend a higher quality amp. it pushes 12's okay but audio quality is not there.

George and John were both using Vox amps in that period. This is just my opinion, but I think the Super Champ x2 isn't that great. And the 10" speaker isn't enough to cut through in a band situation. This is just my opinion and you should by all means check this out for yourself, but I think the Fender Mustang is a better amp. The Mustang III has a ton of good models plus all effects, it will sound great in your practice room as well as with a full band. It has a 12" speaker so it has more depth and with Fender Fuse if you're handy with a computer you can download your own custom amp models. It's fairly light and is cheaper than the Super Champ. And you can find find a really good deal on a used one with a little effort. The Mustang II is a pretty good amp but the Mustang III is easier to use and at 100 watts it has plenty of power for rehearsal or gigs. I know the Mustang is not a tube amp but solid state has come a long way in the last few years. Good luck and happy picking!

The sound is decent. But like anything else, if you spend more you get more. I have a Yamaha 350 watt power amp. I am going to up grade back to Yamaha, Carver, Kenwood.. The pyramid is just a get me buy until you get your money up. I hope this helps.

Any Quality Pre Amp should be transparent George. The Emotiva Pre is neutral as I can hear. So if Your going for more bass then get a sub woofer.Gerard Masters

This is a good amp but it's for a small system. Like for myself, with no loud music all the time, just once in a while to show off. Lol. Your speakers have a range of 400 watts if I'm not mistaken, so it should power it since it's a 500w model. But I would recommend you to get a 1k watts amp. Kenwood's a pretty good brand for this. At least mine does the work like a charm.

They're both pretty comparable as far as volume goes. But you have to realize you're talking about solid state wattage here, which is very different from Tube wattage. There's really not going to be much difference in overall volume from a 75w and 100w solid state amp. But when you say "as loud as a 75W amp should be" that doesn't quite make sense. A 75w tube amp will blow the doors off your house. You would never need to turn it past 1 or 2 and you'd never hit that sweet spot with preamp breakup. One brand's 75w solid state amp can be louder than another. It's not quite as uniform as to how the wattage is used in solid state amps. If you're looking for something loud enough to play with a band, this would be loud enough for most gigs. If you need anything louder, you'd most likely be playing somewhere that has a PA system, so they can just mic it up for you.

I have the hifonic 1000w amp, and you cant do 2 so I got stuck with the 4. Ive had them for a while now and they still wang!!! Best bang for your buck, I got them for $32 each so I cant complain but now I want something more.

go with one of the pioneer digital amps and you'll be happy, those amps are relatively small and push plenty of power

Get this one. Check out my recording using this amp at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akIqDi5ZWjc

No, watts don't equate to sounding better. Best to go to a best buy with a magnolia so you can hear different speakers and amps before you buy.

Bruh ima b honest with u... it really depends on what u are using it for... I have this amp bridged with 4 12s and an equalizer... and for the most part I only use it for watching movies... n the music is good as well esp when the bass hits... for a mid size room I have the gain controls about on half and the equalizer bass nobs about on half so I'm good so with that said, it's still very loud n u can see the the speakers moving hard from the bass... So that's loud enough for me! If u r one of those hardcore bass freaks then this level may not be suitable for u.. u may need to get the 2500 model and 4 18s!!

If you hook a 1200 watt amp to even 4 of these with your gain down you'll blow them. With that much power, I'd go with the p3

it will sound good. louder than one might think. i love the little guy. i've had amps for way more $ and be equal or less than good. the el84 plus the 12x7 yadda yadda is the same as a Vox. A class too. sounds like a beatles amp, but raunchier. problems... the cheap ass plugs electric hook up thingsy is eggshellish. cut corners somehow i guess. if you can afford the speaker cab, i'd go for it. the speaker is voiced for the amp and breaks up when driven at the right time. lovely.
