    are ma auido amps any good

    i was looking for a decent amp that can hold a nice 1 ohm load and be able to push my 3 12" dvc pioneer premere subs and not get hot. a friend of mine said he had the 1200w ma audio and it was so powerful it destroyed his 2 12' jl w3's. i was looking and ma auido whas a nice amp that pushes 4000wx1 @ 1ohm. now my poineers are 1000w each so i think the amp is powerful enough to push them hard witout turning the amp up. the amp comes with a warrentee, 2 built in fans and 2 uv meters, i was just wondering what is your take on ma audio amps

    MA audio amps are quite nice. But their amps are on the larger side.

    Ok, that is way too much power to be throwing at those subs... I almost guarentee, unless they are more than a couple hundred dollars a sub, that that will blow all 3 subs, pretty quickly.

    Not to mention you will NEED a HO alternator to run that much power.

    thats wh i was saying i would turn the amp all the way down (no all the way but most) so i wouldnt actually be pushing that much power but will still push the subs to their capacity and not overload the amp. sizedosentmatter, i got a 3 12" hex box that i squeeze into my hatch so ill mount the amp to th seat

    ma amps are ok, but overrated alot. Youll never get 4000w out of that amp. I think its possible but you have to put nearly 18v into it (cant be done without insane mods) You might get half that or a little more, prolly around 2400. Its still a good amp, just overrated

    They are of good quality. Nothing amazing (they won't run .25 ohm loads) but they are good, solid amps.
