Alto APX1000 2-Channel 1000 Watt Power Amplifier $99

I just bought one. It doesn't do 2ohms but I don't need it to.

Has anyone had any experience with Alto brand amps? I've never heard of them. Sound like a good deal if it works as promised.

12.1 pounds, 45-day return policy...I think you should get 5 of them and tell US how they do. Good luck!

FWIW, their website does not contain the word 'warranty', nor does the product documentation. I called and was told it has a 1-year warranty.

Hey, can it be any worse than Behringer?? PylePro?? We use several Behringers and have had zero issues. Alto is an upcoming brand. I've seen a local band here that have some of their components. They sound very good. In any case, it's a barebones amp and for $99, it's still a steal. Gonna use it for the practice space.

Ordered one. A friend has Alto powered PA speaker and likes it.

I didn't mean to imply it wasn't a killer deal; it is. I'm just working it through in my head and hoping someone else might weigh in with experience positive or negative. (FWIW, I think the Behringer EP1500 and EP2500 are very good for the money.)

Gone. Apparently sold out.

This was a great deal. Lots of features (see the pic of the back) for the $$$.

Alto is owned by alesis if I am not mistaken
