great price for power

I ordered this amp for a friend cause of price. I know its not a true 3000 watts but didn't need that much. I would say a solid 1500 watts. Works great and has good sound output.

Can't go wrong

I have a pair of alpine 12 rs and my girlfriend loves them. So I got her this and a alpine 12 r wired to one ohm. I was scetchy about the buy because I've never heard of this company, but for 100 bucks.. 3000w (roughly) at one ohm it made me think. The reviews blew me away so I tried it. This amp pushes her sub very well. Its very comparable to my system running a crunch amp at 2000w. Needless to say I'm blown away by this amp. Slick design and it hits hard. I'm buying myself one also to replace the crunch amp. I just have to (4000w model probably) Can't pass up the price but most importantly the output of sound. You just Dont hear it with this one you feel it. Great great buy!!

awesome

This is a great amp and for the price even greater..this thing slams my two 12s and doesn't cut out or stop at all,,I went ahead and ordered a 1600 watt one replacing a old 950 watt and it's little bro rocks as well. I recommend this amp as I been using it for 30 days without a hitch.
Has a cool blue light and nice design,great quality and not some junk..can't believe this product sells for so little.

Buy this amp and you will be so happy you did!

I have been using Planet Audio Amps in my sub woofer set-ups for more than 4 years and I am glad I tried them because I have bought and used more expensive brands and they really are not one bit better as far as sound quality and wattage goes. Plus for the money per wattage you cannot go wrong, unless you buy something cheaper then you get what you paid for. Stick with Planet Audio and save some hard earned $$$ for other sound items. I have 2- AC2600.2 units, one in each of my vehicles one pushing 2- 12s in a bandpass box that SLAMS! And another one replaced a fried Hifonix Brutus X-14 2200 D Class amp powering 2- NVX VCW124s in a X-large Q-bass box and honestly it hits so much harder,clearer and cleaner and they are only class AB amps! I tried the AC3000.1 unit on a 1000W RMS 18" Custome built 10ft3 home subwoofer box and I cannot even use all of the power at a 4 Ohm load (2 - 2 Ohm DVC wired in series). And another 3000.1 unit on another custom built 7ft3 home subwoofer 15" 800W RMS -also wired similar in series for a 4 Ohm load total and it still has headroom! The same power from a rackmount unit would have easily been double $$$ so I am very happy with these amps and plan on buying More!

Omg this amp is amazing for a 100$

Where do I start ? The moment I hooked it up i thought the amp wouldn't push power but wow was I wrong it pushed my 2 1250 watt subs amazingly all my friends love my system ! This is the best amp a 100$ can buy ! Don't waste your money on expensive amps! This amp never gets hot yet it's pushing 2500 watts like nothing ! Very impressed thank you sonicelectronix for the reasonable pricing and fast shipping !

Good Deal

For the money it does a good job. I have it hooked up to 3 Polk momo 10' 's in the trunk of my impala and it sounds great with the gain half way up. Sounds clean and has never had in issue with it. On long days it always puts out. No complaints.

Sound Decisions Professional Sound Installation, Aberdeen SD

2 of these pushed my 4 Kicker L7 12's to 4th place out of 206 systems in a SPL competition in Sioux Falls, SD. I will back this amp and Planet Audio up forever. I've sold and installed their products for 5 years now, and I've never had a customer complain.

The dude with the L7's, I would suggest multimetering your wiring, and see if the ohms are correct. You may have it wired to 8 or 4 on accident. If the wiring's good, and you're not satisfied, make sure you've got at least 2.5 cu. ft. per sub in your box, or they probably aren't getting enough air.

If that's all good, then the Hifonics Brutus 1700.1 powers 2 L7 12's perfectly. I've got a Hifi Brutus 1200.1 on a Fi SSD 12 in my car, and they're good amps. I've sold them in many systems. They're better than Planet Audio by a long shot. They're just $30 more for the same wattage. 2 L7's competition rating is 900W each continuous, too. So, keep that in mind when the time comes to upgrade your amp.

Does the job nicely

I would recommend. I have it wired to 1 ohm on 2 Kicker CVR12's and it thumps the hell out of them. Very satisfied and for the price, it can't be beat. Have not had it get hot yet. Warm to the touch, surprising since I'm trying to punish it before selling for RF amp. So far, so great!

Very impressed!

I've been a bass head since I was in my early teens and in my 30's I still am. However with a family, bills, mortgage, etc I normally wouldn't be able to buy the toys I once did but after reading the reviews along with the price of this product I figured I'd give it a try. I have one 15" 3000 watt max 1500 watt RMS subwoofer in my Yukon Denali and she quakes!!!! WITH THE AMP ON ITS LOWEST SETTINGS!!! I'm thinking about getting another sub just so I can drop it down in ohms to see what it really can do. I'm very pleased with this product!!! I feel the bang for your buck speaks highly about the manufacture. It's sad these other name brand companies are jacking up prices the way they are smh. All in all one of the best purchases I've made this year and definitely will be keeping my eye out for future products.

Planet Audio AC3000.1D

The amp is decent and 1 ohm stable, but not a true 3000 watts. It's more like 1000 watts peak, 800 watts continuous. For the price, it's still a great deal. It's pushing 2 SB L7 12"s with nice SQ and a decent amount of SPL.

planet audio Ac3000.1d

Seem to be an ok product however i dont think the 1/0 cable is necessarily needed. Maybe its the subs i dont know at the momment. I believed that when i purchased this it would push my subs and have great sound. I do not believe that it pushes my subs to there limit, and the sound is not what i expected. But maybe i have some adjusting to do. I plan on putting my ohmmeter on it this weekend to see what is going on.

300 watts at one ohm

this amp is seriously overrated. pushing two pioneer 12's they hardly move without the gian set 3/4 or more with bass boost on full. also, this amp was dynoed on steve meades amp dyno and put out a measly 300 watts at one ohm at 14 volts. hardly what its rated for. check it out on youtube. im glad i didnt pay much for mine second hand, but i will never buy anything from this manufacturer.

decent amp for $$$

There is no way this amp pushes anywhere close to what is advertised. However, for $100.00 it is hard to beat as it honestly pushes closer to 500 watts @ 2 ohms. I have it pushing an infinity 120.9 and the sub pounds! If it is not loud enough, adjust the input sensitivity. I have had no issues with this amp to date and have had it for almost a year now.
