Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 295 Registered: Jun-07 | i was pretty sure it was.. but looking at the price... would the crunch get out as much power as the md3d? or is it over rated? |

May not be as clean as the MD3D, but I have seen some posts on Termpro where 3000's test at over 3k. I have not used one though. |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego, California Post Number: 3649 Registered: Dec-06 | "Made in USA" is a loose term nowadays. Nearly all magnet assemblies are made overseas and a good share of baskets, cones and surrounds as well. There is a company called Eminence that is the leading manufacturer of OEM pro sound drivers in the world that is coming under fire recently for their trademark Made in the USA sticker that is on the magnet of every speaker they sell. Turns out that over 70% of the materials they use are outsourced from the far east. Sure they are assembled here, but some lawmakers in Washington want to change the way this is handled. There is only one company left in the world that actually manufactures nearly every piece of their drivers, and that is the mighty Ciare of Italy. The difference between .80 an hour and $14 is too great a difference for many companies to be able to compete in the current market that is geared on cheap labor and substantial profit margins. It is really nobodies fault in particular, and it is surely not easy to fix... it is just the way of the world right now. |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 15646 Registered: Jun-06 | "Made in USA Crayons And Beer" Funny stuff. Actually with the increase in immigration, legal or not, the only thing keeping the work done inside the US is the minimum wage. Funny. You think about the stuff here that's built by cheap labor from other countries. Soon it will be built by the same ppl in our own. |

Gold Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16Boca Raton, Florida Post Number: 1452 Registered: May-07 | Ewwwwwww then i refuse to by it.. Unless it was built by a lil asian kid in taiwan for 1 dollar a day LOL JK... You think even clothes will soon be built in the US???? Possibly prices might go up, but i doubt it |

Platinum Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 4342 Registered: Jan-06 | "too bad its no made in U.S. though. lol." Too bad, no it is a good thing! All of the GOOD high output amps out on the market come from Korea. I would take a badgeless, no name amp made in Korea any day over a popular mainstream made in China or the US. Polo.. |

I doubt you've heard subs from all those companies period. I once heard a wall of Hifonics Goliath subs in a wall tuned to 30 hz and that was one the ten best set ups I've heard I must say. |
|
Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 301 Registered: Jun-07 | i have heard of a guy that sells i lot of hifonics and autotek stuff a few miles away from my house. i might have to get a buddie and make a road trip to listen to some of the stuff he has |

Silver Member Username: DenimSoundSolutionsAudio.com, MD USA Post Number: 652 Registered: Nov-06 | The Crunch model is supposedly a large step up over the other Crunch models. But is it on the same playing field as the US Amps model? Not sure, would really take a skilled amp tech to take them apart. If both do ratted power, then the Crunch should do more. Since the US Amps are on sale, I will have to update the shop then. |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 19955 Registered: Oct-05 | nice read yanks. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 7702 Registered: Jul-06 | Before all of you start thinking the GP3000D is the best amp out there just wait until a real bench comes out. Besides, I don't see much talk about efficiency, all I see is a bunch of a sshats bragging about power output. |
|
Diamond Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 19989 Registered: Oct-05 | but rob, those guys on the termpro are very credible guys. |

Platinum Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 7722 Registered: Jul-06 | "Ok guys, here it is. Depending on your battery set up this amp will make an ungodly amount of power. With a 12volt battery set up dropping to 11.5 volts the Crunch GP3000D Pro made 2850 watts at a 1.03 ohm reactive. That's 4 12volt batteries. If you can get the voltage up the amp will make much more. By just starting the car and using the high amp alternator (starting at 16.1 volts and dropping to 12.3volts), the 3000 made 3732 watts. That's crazy isn't it. THAT'S NOTHING! I hooked it up to a 16volt battery set up and it just went crazy! With the battery voltage dropping to 15.7 volts with a 1.4 ohm reactive this monster made 4640 usable watts. NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT!" Well from what's posted here I'm not too impressed and someone also mentioned the numbers were at 10% THD. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 7723 Registered: Jul-06 | How can you consider a "12 volt" system that sits at 16.1 volts with the engine running 12 volt system? |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 19992 Registered: Oct-05 | well not everyone. lol. |

Platinum Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 4345 Registered: Jan-06 | I would honestly try one. That has the same build quality and components as my Z1a and my IA 40.1 . No worse than anyone else buying no named amps from Korea and having badges placed upon them calling them there own. At least the Crunch is affordable... JMHO.Polo |

Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 3473 Registered: Sep-06 | ($450)Crunch GP3000D-Pro(THD 1% 14v 3400 watts) Thats focking great^^^^^ Not that this matters but my brothers friend has a Crunch GP2500D on a Memphis MOJO 12" and it is bangin. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 4346 Registered: Jan-06 | Just by looking at it I can tell you it isn't 10% but a standard class D 1%, as are all the others. Polo. |

Platinum Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 7742 Registered: Jul-06 | "Not that this matters but my brothers friend has a Crunch GP2500D on a Memphis MOJO 12" and it is bangin." Haha, the 2500 puts out like 1,000 watts though. Where did you get that price? The MSRP is like 1200 isn't it? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 7743 Registered: Jul-06 | Well, I just did some looking around and it is around $500 here and there. Assuming it does rated power and is decently efficient and doesn't blow up I'd say it's a good buy. |
|
Platinum Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 3474 Registered: Sep-06 | Yeah the GP2500D puts out around 1000-1200 watts but hey for a $229 thats not bad. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductList.aspx?CategoryID=1&Manufactur erID=612 |

Platinum Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 4347 Registered: Jan-06 | Is remember when MB Quarts first came out they started with components and they sounded like subs, could not believe all that sound came from them. Unfirtunately I could never afford them anyways, they were that expensive... Polo. |
