Skar 4500.1

[Bwap]

I just want to hear a few reviews or some clamp results on this amp..

How does this amp compare to the more mainstream SAZ4500 or AQ3500s?

Are there any known problems or anything about this amp?

Does anyone know for sure if its a zenon board or not?

I know skar isn't very popular on the forums, I hope I can still get honest responses.

They may be skarbage but do well past rated and seem to hold up awesome. I have heard of clamps up to 6k at normal voltage.

Any threads on it? Not even a sundown 4500 will clamp 6k at normal charge levels

Ill add for the luls, how does this amp compare to a powerbass xta5000?

There all the same all around the same power for the most part

It appears to me that the two boards are identical. Probably performance will be identical for all practical purposes. Consider that Sundown no longer sells this model so if you want to buy new you have about one option there. If I'm not mistaken one or two of the other "5K" amps out there also use the same board which is proven to make rated power or more and be pretty reliable as far as big Korean amps go.

sweet, the thing that turns me away from the powerbass is that its output is rated at .5% thd

I know powerbass used to be junk, is it decent these days?
