Hi All

I’ve been offered an Admark CD8000 amp, it’s a 4 Channel amp but I’m hoping to drive a 2 * dual 18’’ loaded cabs. Has anyone used these amps and your experience and reliability issues is much appreciated 

Thanks

but to answer your question, admark kit generally has a good rep and performs well.

if you are concerned about power, can always wire your 18's on 1/2 on the NL4 socket and run them as one driver per ch

Just don't expect the amplifier, to output quoted specs.

Even with the most respected makes of these amps, I would only expect max 50% of rated output power, in 40hz-100hz range.

Remember even the illustrious Powersoft X8, is not recommended for sub usage, on every channel.

Thanks for all your replies, I personally don’t have good experience with Chinese 4 channel amps and only wants to run 1 Pair of dual 18 loaded subs on this amp.

Is it best to get them wired so 1 driver per channel or just use the 2 channels of the amp

Thanks

One driver per amp channel would give the amp a very easy life. Been doing it for years with some of my double 18" and my double 21" bins.

From what I've been told, feedback received, Admark K35, AD42, (2 Channel amps), will do this with ease.

Not had any feedback, on Zenith branded amps.

Hi All, managed to get more info from the guys selling it as he’s too slow to respond, it’s the CD8000

Just to add, apparently it can be run as a 2 channel amp too, probably with dip switches at the back. Has anyone used these amps or heard of these

So its not admark. But those are nice amps if i have to believe most.
Also Ben and Marjan (mm acoustics) which is the same amp (correct me if i'm wrong) are using/selling those. Both know about what they are talking, and them using those same amps should say enough.
