    I used to be an MA audio dealer. This was a promotional piece. MA told me only 250 of these were ever made. It never had an msrp. When I made an initial buy-in to sell the product they offered it to me. It was around $400 cost with the buy in around $6500 for all the products.

      @wal  6 лет назад +2

      I would be shocked if 250 were actually made. It had an MSRP in the 2002 CA&E directory. Promotional piece explains why they didn’t pump it, I guess...

      400$ cost "If you buy 6500$ worth of their other garbage". Really though if you add up the cost of two 2 channel amp boards + a cheap 30 band EQ the only expensive thing is custom tooling on the heatsink and top plate. It's a shame nobody makes these big surfboard multi-board multi-channel amps anymore though.

    Had a 1500w class d monoblock from this series of amps. Looked just like this but smaller with less potentiometers. It had the two vents with cooling fans and backlit meters. Also had chrome corners you can put on in case you didn't want to flush mount it. Made the amp look huge if you put the corners on. Used to win comps with it pushing 2 MA Audio XL series 12s in a pre-fab double bandpass pro-box. People hated that I would put them to shame with a pre-fab and some "no name" woofers. Lol. Early 2000s were fun.

  • @3RDERA
    @3RDERA 6 лет назад +4

    Yes!!!! Back in Bakersfield, Ca , there was a shop called car tunes, and it’s sister store called car audio pros, they were owned by two brothers, and they sold ma audio and cliff designs, back in 2004. And one of the brothers had this amp in a cut through Silverado powering a full cliff designs system, and the other brother had another Silverado blow thru with a full ma audio system with 2 huge 4000 watt subwoofer amps by ma audio. I wish I would have taken pictures back then. But the guy who had the 6 channel that you have said there were only a handful made for the guys who started the company. Not sure of the validity of his statements but it’s definitely a blast from the past for me, was the first time I ever heard anything by ma audio and he was rocking 8 sets of components and four 15”s off that beast. Super loud and clean. You are one lucky dude to have one!!! Can’t wait for the amp dyno!!

    I always liked the MA Audio aesthetic but unfortunately most of their stuff was seen as a budget gear. It typically under-performed but never by an unacceptable margin so the bang-for-the-buck proposition was there. Put really generally, and take this this a grain of salt, but I'd liken their performance to be like 80% of Kicker (when they were still relevant in the early 2000's) or Rockford Fosgate but coming in at 40% of the cost. There was a lot guys in that era putting out gear in that tier such as Audiobahn, Visonik, Cliff Designs, etc... (same parent company I believe) and some of their flagships were actually pretty unique. Up here in Canada there was a liquidation place called XS Cargo that commonly carried their stuff at blow-out prices. Sometimes, they even had their higher-tier stuff like the HardKore series. I sometimes regret not picking up a pair of their HK15 subwoofers which I recall were about $150 a piece and came in a wooden crate.

    I remember MA Audio stuff from the early 2000's. cant wait to see the results from this. Is there any chance the Memphis Belle will ever hit the dyno?

    Kenon Electronics is an electronic refurbishing company, taking everything from Mr. Coffee makers to Ginormous MA Amps and bringing them back to life. I have had a couple planet audio BB2400.1 repaired/refurbished there, it was where I was directed for warranty work. Maybe it has changed but they seemed to have a list of amps they would work on, I wanted to send an Ampere Audio 9.0 in and they wouldn't take it. If you are going to try and get some info I would start with David, that is who I addressed the amps too I had worked on. I will try and find an email address for him and will Send it privately.

    Hey Big D Randy here I've spoken with you in the past I have an old Gem of an amp I thought you may be interested in testing it has some superficial damage but works wonderfully it's the Rockford Fosgate Punch 4004. 4 channel this thing sounds great I believe it's putting out way more power than what it claims it is made in the USA very rare to find a gem like that

      In the mid 80's, as a high school kid, I had the Pyramid eq boosters. And then even a Kawasaki 10 band 380 watt eq/boost!
      What I didn't know then..... Well, it was a bit fun to see all of the old gear.

    MA Audio offered this amp for free to my old boss(R.I.P.) if he'd carry their products. The only problem was that we were selling the WORLD CHAMPS American Bass at the time. I always respected the bang for the buck MA Audio had going on. My buddy had 2 HK15s flexin back in the day

    I had to MA audio amplifiers just like that but they did not have all the fancy little buttons mine was a 4000 watt amplifier and I had them on 6/12 in super pro super blue 12in woofers. And they did a really really good job. I hit a 150 2.3 on the SPL meter it was in a small 1982 Ford Escort 2 door Pony. Car ran good stereo sounded awesome and I was happy. I definitely miss those days.
