could someone please tell me if pyramid amps are any good

 

NO

 

Nicely put thanks

 

NO!!!!! they are trash!

 

NOPE stick with some good ones like Rockford fosgate, Kenwood, and Alpine.

 

And Phoenix Gold

 

To be honest, I've heard worse amps than Pyramid. But anyway, Pyramid belongs to the flea market category.

 

there was another thread on pyramid amps not too long ago.. i said that i've never heard of it.. and got a response that i should be glad..

it was regarded as the QUOTE "official pawn shop brand" or something..

pretty much everone on that thread said it sucked..

 

Pyramid is crap. This is because they overrate their amps like crazy.

A said "1000 Watt amp" is usually 45 watts x 4 rms, or 100watts x 1 and you can see this by looking at the amp specificiation. This is not illegal as there is no set standard on testing.

Alpine, Pioneer, Fosgate, JBL, .....any amp you look at, ALWAYS look ONLY at the RMS wattage number at 4ohm to compare your power. Look for something in your power range for your subs, match it up and it'll sound great.

Wattage numbers are also deciving, My friend has a Fosgate 120.2 bridged into a nice sub = 120watts RMS, which sounds like nothing, but in his hatchback it sound great and clean. Nothing that'll vibrate windows on the car next to him, but good for great clean sound.
