This is a great amp for the price. Although it does not put out it's rated wattage. You are looking at a solid 1800-2000 RMS, if your voltage is good. Dollar for watt, nice amp.

This really is a "BAMF" for the money. i Have owned one, and they can take some abuse. Im talking clipping, low votage you name it. I remeber playing the amp down to 9v and the amp didnt go into protect. I had the amp for over a year and sold it. The amp is owned by one of my friends and it still going strong. I dont care what anyone says, these amps are built pretty beefy, they may not look like much but they hold there own vs the big boys. The only down fall to this amp is the power & ground being at an angle, and they should have just used a single 1ga input for both power & ground. Highly recommended to anyone who is on a budget and needs an amp, this will get the job done.

This amp is 2000w RMS which is still plenty power to rock just about any sub. The bass is rugged and hard hitting, but if u really want true performance you must have a good alternator that supplies 14.4 volts and an extra battery for true performance.

I got this amp pushing 2 12 inch W7, and I can't even hear the highs in my car. A slight distortion but only noticeable for people that are anal about bass ( like me). It's also great because although it uses 2 remote, 2 power, and 2 ground, it still doesn't consume much power from your battery. Price is beyond reasonable and the amp doesn't consume much space because it is very small for the power it is push in out. I would recommend this amp for anybody who wants power. Takes me 2 JL Audio 1000 to push out the same power and Jl audio cost 4X as much, so you do the math.

I am so surprised with this amp. It KNOCKS my 2 Kicker L7 15's like a champ. CRAZY, I never expected this out of a Power Acoustik. This is the best amp for the money Ive seen. I would highly recomend the big 3 and a minimum of 4 gauge wire with extra battery and cap because it sucks some juice. Best amp I've bought for the money!

I would highly recommend the BAMF 5500/1D. Im pushing 3 12'' cvx's. This amp is replacing pnch BD2000.1. My installer said it was a BS amp. He hooked it up and It set off alarms(vol was at 3 The bass is crisper and alot more deeper. It doesnt seem to drain as much power as my old did, and its pushing the heck out of my cvx's now. People think I have 6 12's now and its only 3. If you want a good amp for the low low get the bamf 5500/1d. You won't be disappointed. Mind You I have 0 guage everything. The amp requires 2 ground wires and 2 power wires. 2 batteries (yellow top, and a dry cell), power cap,isolator,and a kill switch.

This amp is great, I've had mine for about 3 months now and not once have I had a problem with it. Alot of power, mine is pushing a 15.4 HCCA orion and it hits very hard. I have no complaints with this amp, I'm going to buy another 15.4 and another bamf-5500 amp.

i would recommend this amp for people who want to experience the deeper bass out of their amp, however use on the side of caution this amp is extremely powerful, i foolishly had it hooked up to 2 JL W-2 and they hit hard and lasted a good 7 months before they burnt out, so make sure your subs can handle. 7 months is impressive for the W-2s running the way they were but that's just JL quality, this amp i have also hooked up to a buddies W-7/13 for a 2 day road trip, the longest car time I think was 7 hours straight, this amp powered the JLw7 extremely powerful, almost at full power and didn't cut out once, i checked the temperature when we stopped for gas and it was really not all that hot, as far as 5500 watts peak, i can see that at just the right Hz but rms i must say more around the 3000 range if you want to use it, like i said before this amp would be for deeper bass and also hits or pumps whatever you wanna call them. when it hits you really feel it, in all i'd say this amp is perfect for techno and pretty good for hip hop too, you wont be disappointed

I am pushing a HCCA Orion 15. So far so good. At first It would only move the speaker about an inch. Then i bought another one to double the wattage. It moves the Orion the full four inch. I would recommend it to anyone. Comparing to other amps, I only payed 600 for two, than paying more hundreds for the same power to push an orion.

I would recommend someone to buy this product because i have had my BAMF for 8 months now and i haven't experienced not one thing wrong with it. It truly is a very strong amp, very dependable, and will beat some subs to sleep. I am a power acoustik fan but this is why. Everything in my truck is power acoustik except for my radio as of "right" now......

This amp is truly a beast... you put enough current to it, and it will take it and ask for more.. I am running a single AWT12X in a vented box in my suburban.. it hits harder than my friends L7 15".

Make sure your woofer can handle it, I wasted a pair of Power Acoustic MOFO 12's with it in less than an hour.....

It is thin, easy to hide, and doesnt get hot if you give it airflow
