Bash 500W Digital Subwoofer Amplifier

I bought three of these Bash 500s plate amps for a tactile transducer project, and am happy with them. They replaced two Dayton SA240 plate amps. The SA240's had hum problems and also had developed erratic gain behavior. The Bash 500s amps are performing very well. They are lighter and more powerful.

My only complaint is that one of the units auto on/off circuit turns on when there is no signal. That might be due to the fact that they the input signal is daisy changed to three units, or it could be a problem with that particular unit.

Overall, I'm glad I choose the Bash 500s. It's a good value and a good performer.

more than enough power to run my new Dayton 12" sub. Awesome.

I used this amplifier to power a 10" Dayton Reference HO driver in a .6 CU FT enclosure ported to 35 hz. The results were nothing short of jaw-dropping. After breaking the sub in and setting the gain to about 1/4 of max, the sub simply overpowered the other speakers and was way too loud (in a good way). I settled on leaving the gain just above the lowest the dial goes and it is perfect. Clean, loud, and can reproduce the lowest of frequencies. In hind-sight, the 300 watt model would have been more than enough as I think these amps outperform their rated specs. No ground hum, no turn on pop, just pure bass as it was meant to be heard. The crossover section is also excellent as I heard no noticeable difference switching between it and the LFE output from the receiver.
