Posted April 2, 20169 yr Pioneer GM-D8604 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_63974_Pioneer-GM-D8604.html its $140. class d RMS Power @ 4 ohms 100 watts x 4 channels its around $100 cheaper than the next comparable amplifier that has RMS listed and is a decent name brand? Im aware that its class D so, thats part of why its cheaper. But other than that, im worried its bad for some reason because of how cheap it is?
April 2, 20169 yr Pioneer maybe the best to to answer this question. My guess is that Pioneer doesnt have a high mark up as other companies, among other things. Most of Pioneers equimpent is cheaper than its rivals, just something I always noticed. Price shouldnt reflect its performance vs competitors.

April 3, 20169 yr So losing a channel is ok??? I am an amp is an amp guy but if it doesn't hold up I don't want it. Hell I am still running an amp I bought in the 80's....
