BAMF-1600/4

I have 2 of these amplifiers. Power and ground are 2 ga. on both setups

One is running a set of Kicker mids/highs, and a pair of 12" Kicker subs. Sounds awesome... 2000 Chevy Z71 extended cab

The other 1600/4 was repurposed as a sub amp in my car out of necessity. It is running a Audiobahn DVC 2ohm Titanum cone ultra high excursion woofer. It is running bridged 1/2 and bridged 3/4 mode, LPF set at 65hz.... 50% bass boost.

SPL is high enough to force the trunk to open on just bass alone...2008 Jetta sedan...

These amps put out some raw power if you feed them properly. The SQ is really good for an inexpensive amp, but they are definitely not cheaply made by any standard.

I would recommend this product! Just make sure you have enough cooling for the amp if you are going to take it down past 4 ohm.

Great Product!

This amp is great, it pushes my doors 6.5" speakers and my 6.5 midbass drivers in custom-made box. The coolest thing is that it doesn't even get hot (thanx to the shape of the amp ), just a little bit warm and it does what it's supposed to, and for the price, I recommend this product, great buy from Sonic Electronix!

Don't buy

All I can say is....internal error! Pos when it worked, for the whole month it did, it was great. Couldn't s in my car for too long at full volume. Then all of a sudden....trunk space filler!

Amp that could've been

Pros:
1) Good price
2) Plastic top part, reason for having the "heat sink" feature
3) Fairly small size amp for 4ch

Cons:
1) Speaker/power terminal; must insert cable at an difficult upward angle
2) Amount of sound is not loud enough(cheap price, go figure)
3) Mine died at 6-7months of use(at 75% power output & only use twice a week, not blasting the music)

Conclusion: DON'T BUY unless you get an extended warranty. On the PA manual, it states: If not installed by certified installer, warranty valid for only 6 MONTHS...WTF. I'm submitting a RMA request, we'll see what kind of service I'll be dealing with. Lucky for me, I bought an extended warranty. I will right a follow up review with the RMA & how long the process took. Buy this product at your risk, hope this review is helpful.

Great sound, but didn't last long

During the 4 months or so that this amp lasted, it sounded and worked great, then suddenly quit working. All it would do is flash between the power and protection modes, which someone told me was an internal error. Thus I set out to try and reset the internal memory because the warranty was terrible, 90 days because it wasn't installed by a "professional". There's no memory reset switch on it, so to me, it's now junk. I wouldn't recommend this amp to anyone unless they need lots of power that quickly dies out.

Not the best amp I've used

After installing this amp it blew 2 of my crossovers, so i checked it with a multimeter. I found that the brand new amp was putting out dc voltage and causing my crossovers to explode.

Awesome Amp

This amp was great for the short time I used it for about nothing. I still have it in the closet for backup. It has great options and puts out plenty of power for any speakers and it won't take up much space. I definitely recommend it if you can't afford much.

sweet amp

It's an amazing amp. I own four. They perform fantastic and the price is great.

Amp that could've been(part2)

Owned for 10months+
Cont'd from 1st review:

It took PowerAcoustik(which is previously or owned by Soundstorm) about 2 weeks of back & forth with their support about the issue i was having. All together, it took about a WHOLE month to get my amp back. I had to pay $20 shipping & another $20 to them to send me back my amp. The only thing good is that they did send me a Brand new amp. Haven't hooked it up, yet. I deeply concerned about the other amp I bought from the same maker & line.

Issue: the protection light & power light will blink intermittently.

Best Bamf for your money

I found Power Acoustik a couple years ago, Specs were good so I tried them. Now thats all I buy, Value for your dollar, something everybody needs in this economy. Try them, you wont be disappointed either

good for the price

this amp was great!! it defiantly made my stereo come to life. my system got surged though and ever sense then i have all kinds of stuff going wrong. i bought a second one of these to replace the first one because i was getting a bad interference later i found out it was the head unit that was causing it. after i bought a new head unit from about a week after installing it this amp got fried it was going between the green led that states its on to the red witch means its in protection so i thought it was just a bad on out of the bunch well i installed the second bamf 1600/4 i had and a week later the same thing happened to it. witch makes me think it was a bad head unit so i took it back. its weird i never had problems until i bought the new head unit. this amp made my speaker sound so clean and so loud.

1600

more power than i would ever use, but deffinately would not choose one with less with all the sound and power options this amp gives you it makes it so you can really tune in to the exact sound and power you want.

Awesome amp

I recently purchased this amp and i couldnt be any happier. my voice speakers sound great, my system is the loudest and better sounding without breaking my bank. i've owned top name amps before that cost twice as much but now im a power acoustik fan. i would really recommend this product for anybody who wants a powerfull and detailed amp.

good amp

I ordered this amp because of the ( RMS ) and the price , I was not sure it would play clean at a loud volume pushing my four alpine 5"x7" type S series, but I am sure now it's a very good amp for the price and I will recommend to any one sweeeeeeeet.

sucks

lasted 6 months running 4 alpine type r components. worked great but quit working, there was an internal error. If I would have bought it from sonic it would be covered under warranty

Sleek, quality, good price

I bought this for my Toyota Celica. I have it rigged up with an Alpine Type-R speaker system and sub. The amp puts more than enough power to my Alpine Type-R 10" sub and plays extremely clearly. The sub plays nice up to about 800 watts, and the amp puts power to the sub nicely up to around 1200 watts, so it is more than enough power for a very nice subwoofer. The amp looks very nice and performs very well. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to power a high quality sub.

Good for an everyday amp

Have been using it 6 months no issues, works perfect every time. Pushing 1 w3, going to add one more!

Great amp

I love this amp very strong I run two kicker 12 inch subs off of this amp doesn't seem to phase the amp. I like how small the amp is can fit almost anywhere you put. Only downfall is you have to take the top off to work on the wires for your speakers.

Works great

Good amp for the price. My only complaint is that the terminals for the speakers are hard to get to.

My BAMF AMP

Used it to power my door speakers. Soon as I got the amp and hooked it up channel 3 did not work. The next day on my way home from work it over heated and went into protective mode....Fried the amp in less then 40 miles of traveling.....at half gain.

Plenty of Power

This amp is more than enough to power my 4 6.5" Alpine Type R speakers. definitely worth the money, my system sounds incredible now :D

Nice Product

I would recommend product to anyone wanting to hear the full potential of a door speaker.
