@Doctorbasss Год назад

This kit is actually what caused the TITAN SUBMARINE to collapse in the lase days!. Apparently a guy played 4 of these in his cigarette boat. The shockwave reached Canada east coast and the backwave combined with the wave from the boat sub were in phase exactly at the deep of the TITAN sub position. 😮

@Werewolfmage Год назад

Hahahaha

@SnubBarracuda Год назад

Once those bad boys get moving they actually drop to negative 4 ohms. The coils actually generate more energy than they use and you can disconnect your battery and alternator and just run your car off the subs until the bass stops.

My first car amp in the 80's was a Pyramid 4 channel rated 100x2 and 50x2 (yeah right!) I blew one of the 50 watt channels on the first day I had it, but the rest of the amp powered a pair of 6x9s for a while until I got some "real" amps. Looks like they still haven't improved much. I would like to see those funky pups in a proper enclosure and see what SPL you can get out of them until they let the smoke out.

A buddy of mine growing up had pyramid amps that were actually kinda impressive. They were purple and white. It was in the late 90s so hard to remember but I think they were four channel? He had one on each of his 15" Orion XTRs in a huge sealed box.

@OneRoomShed Год назад

I didn't have money for a good system when first got into the scene so started with pyramid. I never cared for their typical subs except the Super Pro which I thought were pretty decent. I had a few amps and EQ boosters and I definitely got my money's worth (and some). Pyramid gave me an entry level system that didn't break the bank. If it wasn't for them I'd probably wouldn't have anything at that moment. So no hate from me on Pyramid.

I started buying car audio in the early 2000's when I started driving and amps like these and the Sony Xplodes were sooo COOL! Yeah they were a little pricey and under preformed but I didn't know that until 2007 when I got a 1000w Kenwood to power my new pair of 12in CVR's in the ported Kicker box(silvers rule!) Most new amps offer alot more performance for the value but lack that COOl retro styling. A few expectations being stuff like the Soundstream 🕷️🕸️ and JP's with whacky colors.
