Looks like a Power Acoustik OV1-3000D. Its rated for 1700@1, 1300@2, and 900@4. THD is horrible, 90a of fusing. No way it does rated.

This is an excellent thread. Rather than talk about what is crap vs. quality, it's better to educate people on what to look out for in a well made vs. cheaply made amp.

Here are some from my old RF T1500-1BD. This is a well made amp.

To OP: is that pioneer amplifier broken?

nope , was just used a week ago to try out my brothers DCON's in the trunk of my blown up buick. Works just fine for a walmart POS. :]

Before I say the brand I want to hear what someone says about it, maybe take a guess at the brand as well.Rated at 1700w @ 1ohm, 900@ 2ohms.

each picture is of half of the amp.

I have no clue............

Those sundowns are pure ***!!! Never heard one but they look uber-beasty. its funny i just noticed my 220 watt sony has larger power caps than that eclipse and the cadance. LOL

I was taking a nap , but so far this thread seems to be pure ***. Nice amps guys , especially the fosgate with the shotgun wounds. LOL

Its all relative on how far the camera was away when the pictures were taken. I highly doubt that Sony would bench at 1400@1+ where as the Z1200 did. I highly doubt the Sony puts out the power the Eclipse does too.

Sure am. The model number is on the board at the very bottom edge of the first picture.

No , i wasn't saying it was more powerful , i was just saying how the sony has 2 6800uf caps where the cadence has 1000uf caps , i know both of those amps put out way more power than that sony. ;]
