pyramid
I have a pyramid amp hooked to 2 MTX 4000 10's in the hatch. It sounds pretty good. What do you all think of the pyramid amp series.
Thanx

They make great door stops!
Seriously though, this is not a personal flame or anything, but I find that most people don't realize how bad something sounds until they hear better. I remember a time I thought my Jensen speakers and amps sounded awesome! And now, I consider MB Quart speakers bare minimum in acceptable sound.
There is only one thing that matters in audio: do YOU like how it sounds.
Enjoy.

In all honesty, I agree. I've opened up a Pyramid amp to look inside before and I laughed so hard I dropped the amp. 1 tiny printed board with a couple FETs sticking up, in a chassis 4 times the size of the entire board.

I used to see a lot of blown-up Pyramid stuff come in for repairs at the store I used to work at. Usually for the same cost as a repair you can just go buy another Pyramid or cheapo-somethin amp.

Is there any way to tell how much power an amp is REALLY putting out? I have a pyramid 600 watt. If anyone happens to know the real output, let me know. Thanks.

depends on the distortion level. At a reasonable THD, the amp might do an honest 30 watts into a reactive load, maybe 50 into a purely resistive load with 1 channel driven.
