Has anyone ever heard of the brand?

What's the quality like?

Experts in the house, your opinion would be well appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Percy,
I believe its http://www.maaudio.com. I believe I'm getting the extreme competition series.

I'm getting a couple of these. One to drive two JL 12W7's and the other for 4 sets of diamond components.

Should sound sweet..right?

I'm getting rid of that recent Memphis 1000D amp and those two Kicker L7's and replacing with this stuff. If anyone is interested in purchasing the memphis and the L7's (12's) let me know.

MA AUDIO IS NOT SO BAD, GREAT LOOKING STUFF, IM NOT 100% SURE OF ITS QUALITY AND SOUND, BUT ITS AROUND IN EVERY STEREO STORE HERE. FROM SOME OF THE LOOKS OF IT, IT LOOKS JUST LIKE AUDIOBAHN, SO BEING THAT I KNOW AUDIOBAHN IS BETTER, I WENT WITH ALL AUDIOBAHN. SORRY I CANT HELP U OUT MORE.

Just a bit below average quality in my book. I would really advise a pair of JL 500 amps to go with W7's. That are good price and pretty good quality/performance.

Manuel,

I'll have to agree with Retro on this one. From the specs and construction, they're just a "touch' better than your "building block" amps. "Building block" meaning Best buy specials or "LA Sound" or anything else on the cheapo side.

The Signal to Noise ratio specs don't really say much. Low 90's for an amp and they're not specific about the real measurements. I'd expect mediocre sound quality from these amps. If you notice, once when you get into the high current or monoblock amps, they won't even list a signal to noise ratio.

Unless you're into heavy SPL, I'd look into another amp.

Percy

lol 5000watts rms my ***. thats funny, i doubt any speaker in the world can really handle that much. all companies are such liers with their specs. lol i think the best way to go is the same company amp and the same compant sub. this way you know the wattage rating should be the same.
on another note, does anyone out there have preferences on how many and which size speakers u would rather have. for example; #3 12's or #2 15's
#4 10's or #3 12's etc etc.
