| ijcobra's Full Review: American Legacy II LA290 Car Amp |
I ended up with this amp as a result of an eBay auction. I got this amp, a Pyramid 400x2 RMS amp, 2 Audiobahn 12's, and a bandpass box for $250. I thought it was a good deal. It was, to a degree.
Other reviews of this amp speak of the noise it generates. I have to agree. I also have a RPM related buzzing in my speakers using this amp. The noise is worst at low volume, and becomes indistinguishable at high volume.
The amp itself looks nice. Chrome all over.
There is no crossover. No high-pass, no low-pass.
It says it's a 100x4 amp. That's peak. Why any manufacturer advertises the peak power I don't know. It's a bullsh*t, made up number. I'm hoping it's pushing 50x4 RMS. RMS is 70.7% of peak power, the comparable DC power of AC. I think some manufactures claim the peak-to-peak numbers.
Anyways, don't pay more than $50 for this amp.
