Q&A: My friend bought an amplifier to hook up his one 12 inch sub...?

I installed it for him , but his subwoofer isnt in yet. We ran it to my 15 inch and it wouldn’t hit very hard and we place my amp in his car and it worked just fine. He is tight on money so he got a cheaper priced amplifier it is a Pyramid PB1000, 1000 watt bridgeable amp. Does anyone know whats up with this occurace?

This is the amp-

Answer by gerry m
how may channels does the amp have,if it is a 2 direct amp,you should have the amp bridged so that it acts like a mono amp,check your settings,if its`a 4 direct amp you need to run 2 sub and join 4 channels to 2 ,excellent luck

Answer by KaeZoo
It’s like pulling teeth to find the actual RMS power ratings on that amplifier. But, here they are:

RMS power at 4 ohms: 50 watts x 2
RMS power at 2 ohms: 70 watts x 2
RMS power at 4 ohms bridged: not specified, even in the user’s manual. But, later their logic of calling the 2-direct “max” power 500 watts x 2, then that earnings the bridged output is probably around 100 watts RMS.

In additional words, it’s a 100 watt amp. Pyramid multiplied the RMS rating by 10, called it a 1000 watt amp, and hid the real specs in the user’s manual, page 6.

just get a new amp because my friend had bought a pyramid deck and burn out then he restore it and got another one and burn out..dont mess with pyramid its a terrible brand and it wont work as excellent as something with less watts then what it says it have.

i like sarah brightman music too, first of all. I dont really weep during songs, but life cuban, hearing really Jingoistic Cuban Songs like
Cuba Mia-Celia Cruz
Cuba Linda-Willy Chirino
and others make my eyes water.They also make me despise Fidel all the more.

Answer by JCRbama
The Cure: Letter to Elise – That one always gets me, reminds me of to many things that have happened in my life and is nearly too emotional for me to listen to some times.

Beach Boys: God only knows & In my room – On the surface they seem superficial but once you learn about what was going through Brian Wilsons mind they are really emotional songs

Radiohead: Fake Plastic Trees – Just a fantastic song
