Bash 500s Sub Plate Amplifier (1 Viewer)

Anybody ever bench tested one of these? Its hard to believe that Parts Express (or anybody for that matter) would sell an amp for .50 cent a watt.

BASH amps have been used by the major manufacturers like Klipsch, Velodyne and even SVS. Indigo Manufacturing has been making digital amps since the early 90's. The first time I saw them was their line of Blade car amps.
50 cents per watt (not 1/2 cent per watt as you have it noted) is not uncommon. The Behringer EP-4000 puts out an independently tested 1,600 watts and costs about $330. That's a little more than 20 cents per watt. I have never seen the PE BASH amp tested but O Audio's 500w BASH amp tested at 459.59 watts at 0.401% distortion. Most sub amps you see will have at 10% distortion rating so BASH amps sound extremely clean.
