Got ripped off.

[Bobski]

A mate of a mate.. mmm that old chestnut. Gave him 200 bucks for what I thought was going to be a pioneer monoblock (didn't even look at it so my own fault).. He gave me a bloody soundstorm amp.

I think it's this one here;
SoundStorm F2600D Class D Mono 2600W Car Amplifier/Amp - eBay (item 360215388109 end time Dec-10-09 07:25:11 PST)

mmm I looked at it and it doesn't look all that flash. Meant to be 1200w @ 2ohm... it only has two 25a fuses. What are your thoughts about the amp? Did some research and people all over the net are giving it crap reviews..

I'll either go back to him and ask for my money back (he's a shifty bloke), or just offload it to somebody else and go get a kicker zx750.1

[holdenboy]

Go get your money back, they are a crap amp.....Soundstream ripoffs.
Good luck anyway

[Hsv_turbo]

some mate you have, pulling shiftys with ya.

go get your money back, but since hes shifty he might not give it back.

[strgas]

gut the amp and add some weight then take it back to him and get your money

[Bobski]

mmm not happy. The bloke I know rekons he knew nothing about it and is just gonna stay outta it. The guy is a dealer and he's a shifty prick.

How much is that kicker amp?

[Joe Bellissimo]

Why not get one of my monsters: Shopping Secure - Car Audio Specialists - SPL Dynamics S-1200D

[Bobski]

Why that is very pretty haha but a wee bit out of my price range

[themark]

hey bob =]

[Bobski]

Mark? Gday.

2 X 25amp fuses.

Very roughly...
P=VI,
P=13Volts X 50amps
P=650Watts
Assume amp is 70% efficent since class D
650*0.70=455W....


Just a little shy of the stated power.

[StoneX]

Or if you were a little more optimistic...

2 X 25amp fuses.

Very roughly...
P=VI,
P=14Volts X 50amps
P=700Watts
Assume amp is 85% efficent since class D
650*0.85=595W....

Class AB amps are around 70% efficient. Class D are usually above 85% efficient.

[Daz750]

Put them both on the Dodgy bro's list.

Get your money back? I don't usually think the "round up a posse" method of getting a refund is the right course of action, but if he lied to you about the product, well......
