The amazon photos show discoloration on the standoff posts. Could you please describe any cosmetic flaws with the amp?

No discolor is noted the post are chrome so it reflects color from the internals. So far I am happy with this unit and the long it runs the better it sounds

The "discolorations" are solely a function of the picture. I own one and I can assure you that the item looks just fine (actually, it's pretty cool) and that it sounds fantastic with a nice pair of headphones. You'll find yourself listening to more music via headphones, that's for sure.

There are slight discolorations but overall the amp looks pretty cool. What's under the hood really it's what counts. I use it as a pre amp to my amp and it thanks my Klipsch horns sound amazing from an iPad.

The post are metal and are not discolored. Amp looks very nice and well made. Works very nice too.

Although I have not noticed any cosmetic flaws I have seen some shoddy soldering on the board. The worst being the contacts for the RCA inputs. Two of the contacts have too much solder so they have joined into one solid piece. I will have to go back and redo the solder points to ensure they are not shorting something out and causing interference. Might as well do all the points and use some silver solder.

I have had my Bravo for many months. I have no cosmetic flaws on my unit. The sound quality, however, is excellent. I am extremely satisfied with my unit.

I running a 700 watt Arc audio amp into a sealed enclosure of 1.5 SQF And it sounds great. Has as much SLP as my old Alpine R12 ported, maybe even more? Now I am thinking about getting the NS V3 12' 2500 watt Sundown sub! After enjoying the SA 12 I need to hear the V3 and maybe scare some old people while I'm at it! Lol

I've experience the same problem when bolting the amplifier down to a vehicle. From what I can figure it's a grounding issue. In my particular its other equipment installed in the vehicle that is not grounded properly.

It's a glossy finish, on an excellent subwoofer. I love it - and I'm very picky.

This is a great amp.http://www.amazon.com/gp/r.html?R=1VT9WZRKT4420&C;=3TG14KBDH777U&H;=6ISVNJSFOJS0RV1FHACRNS5MDZMA&T;=C&U;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB00F0H88SY%2Fref%3Dpe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_2

Check that all wires are fully connected. Other wise it would probably be something internal in which case yeah I would return it. Other thing would be speakers but if you only noticed it with the new amp then there's your issue.

Bro I'll be 100% honest it's a good amp but it's for sure not pushin 3000 amps. It hits hard but it has it's limit and will shut off if pushed too hard...one you have it set and equalized right it's a solid amp I have 2 bridged subs on it and it works perfect. Out of the 4 mths I've had it, it's only overheated once and shut off maybe 3 times because I turned it past it's limit lol but overall it's pretty good man iwould suggest it for a good sound for sure!

As the other 2 answers indicate, that is not normal, and is a serious quality control oversight if the manufacturer allowed your unit to leave the factory without it. Mine arrived with the cord secured in the back of the amp as suggested by one of the other answerers. If it's not there, return it.

Black box with comply foams and looks new to me. All accessories and adapters look new and metal case is clean and untouched as far as I can tell. Sounds incredible and I don't care about the packaging although it I had bought as a gift I would be pissed. Doesnt Amazon usually list the new type of packaging for the products? Don't seem to remember seeing that on the deal of the day. Bought the Klipsch ones as well so lets see how they compare!

I didn't have that problem with the ones I bought. They have worked fine. Might be a problem with one you received, or if you have a way to adjust your pre-amp some may help to corrext the isssue.

I can only say it happened because this is an inferior product. The one I ordered was defective out of the box. I returned it for a Topping amp instead.

Yes I love mine. My best suggestion is to get the little mounting unit for the tone match. Otherwise it gets kicked around

Well MFin, my replacement set arrived last week and, thus far, it's been absolutely perfect. The crystal clear edges and deep blacks that sold me on this set in the showrooms is now alive and well in my living room. High Def looks absolutely sick. The "buzzing sound" that many owners cite (and admittedly, was very noticeable in my 1st set) is now virtually non-existant. I'm going to chalk my first experience up to a fluke. I hope you end up with a '5084 that meets or exceeds your expectations. I recommend you give it 1 last shot....good luck!

i searched youtube and have seen numerous vids of how it looks/sounds.. its unbelievable actually, the pups are stock but sound pretty decent for the price, im thinking of ordering this to replicate the JEM7V ibanez

Sorry for the late response. Just tried it with a bass and bass amp. It's functional, there was some ground buzz when I turned the level up. Probably because of my setup. I don't know if you'll get that Metallica sound, but the pedal definitely works.
