jyobeb · 10th July 2005, 22:38

The 944 amp is a damn powerful amp... My friend drives a pio 304C sub and the sub seems to have taken a lot and has very little life left now.If the 944 amp is matched with a good..very good subwoofer, it'll work wonders!!.

iceman91 · 11th July 2005, 10:48

agree with nitrous the 944 is an amazing amp...consider it to be the best model by PIONEER...the 924 aint bad either but 944 is the best...5k is a steal in bangalore a secondhand 944 will go for 8-10k

navin · 12th July 2005, 10:06

yeah and the car is not bad either :-)

Go ahead Karthik, thats a damn good price for that amp. You can comfortably run all speakers and subs required in a car from that one amp!

944 is a rockin amp. i dont think its in production any more. so the prices of 2nd hand 944's skyrocketed here in bbay.. my friend picked 1 up for around 9.5k ..pretty good condition..

Off Topic...
JK u keep that a secret

Anyway, it sounds better than it looks, u check it out the next time v meet. The only prob i think is with the weird enclosure, the sub is pretty good, i hope

Whether the 944 is a great amp or not would be pretty much subject to what you want to drive using it. It's good for subs, especially of the SPL variety. I don't vouch for any SQ capabilities driving good quality speakers. It sure is a powerhouse, and can successfully drive 2-ohm loads from it's bridged output without inducing the protection mode. That, in my opinion is it's meanest achievement.

At the price, you better ensure the amp hasn't been tinkered with.

karthik247 · 8th March 2006, 18:18

I got the amp form this guy who got it from Dubai i suppose. I don't remember exately but its Made In Mexico or USA i think. Anyway i've been using it for sometime now and didn't have any probs till date. It runs my sub and the rear compos.

Being a Class AB mosfet based design. Pioneer 944 is a good amplifier. And 75X2 for speakers and 250W (Bridged in 4Ohms) for subwoofer is a decent power. It will give you good SQ for that money with SPL too.

Though there are lot better amplifiers available (at a cost) and only upgrading your amplifier will not help, you need to upgrade source, cabling, speakers etc to get good overall results. Not to forget good installation.
