Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It's nice to see a "budget" amplifier perform well. This Pioneer GM-D9601 is rated to deliver 800 watts RMS at 2 ohms or 1200 watts RMS at 1 ohm. I have the luxury of a machine capable of testing amplifiers and I showed the following results: 806w @ 2 ohms (up to 1% THD), 14.14Vdc, 83.8A current draw 1206w @ 1 ohm (up to 1% THD), 13.85Vdc, 122.6A current draw 1768w @ 1 ohm (dynamic power), 14.18Vdc All tests were at 40Hz, much lower than the manufacturers rated measurements at 100Hz (and more difficult on the amp). The specs provided by Pioneer also stated their measurements were obtained 14.4Vdc. As you can see by my measurements, I still got rated power at less voltage. This is a good thing! Amp did well, exceeded ratings, seems to be very well built. You can see my full review on YouTube under username BigDWiz. Just search for Pioneer GM-D9601 Amp Dyno test and it should be the top result. Great amp for the $$ here. Good job Pioneer!
