Are Pyramid Amps really that bad?
So I'm wondering if Pyramid amp prices are any indicator as to their quality? It's so tempting because there are so many lowLOW priced pyramids that technically fulfill the power requirements I'm looking for...........but on the other hand I'm not about to go el cheapo on my new stereo setup and blow something cause I wanted to save a couple hundred....sooooo
Can you guys just let me know what you think of these amps.

Never tried them so I cant give any personal experiences with them. But like most things I believe the old adage holds true - you get what you pay for.
And most likely, say it says 100x2rms...
You may think it is but that company may have used 15 or 16 volts to get that 100x2... Thus once you get ur amp u may only get 70 rms...
Thays why they created CEA if the amp says its CEA compliant then it has real power numbers
But yea pyramid sucks

It sucks.
I had one in the past. It was so cheap that I used it as an opportunity to experiment with non-standard bridging techniques without concern of blowing the amp up.
It was a good learning experience. Just do head to competitions with it or you'll be sent home with your tail between your legs
