Where does the airy nature of the sub amp, the high damping factor, the
warmth of the sound, and the precision of the control of the cone come into play? When bridging, although I have never found it to be that noticeable to the ear. You have argued that thier are sonic differences in amps, but I did not see that in your list of reasons. Now you are saying that you have not found it to be noticeable to the ear. Which is it? Les |

That right, I can't tell the difference between an amp running stereo or
bridged. What's the problem?

I wanted to quote something from the Feb/March issue of Mobile
Entertainment. I just adds to that which many of you have already stated: MYTH #3: (of the top 5 sound-off competition myths) GET A HIGH-END AMPLIFER. "A watt is a watt. I doubt most people can hear the difference between amplifiers unless you push them into clipping anyway." -Scott Buwalda. I won't list all his IASCA championship trophies, but they're quite extensive. Tony What's more likely?

Externally bridgable amps come into play here such as the Directed 600D
and 1100D. Crossfire 1000D also comes to mind and a few others that I can't remember the model numbers to at the moment. Can be had relatively inexpensive on ebay or even sometimes in a shop and produce balls out power. I don't quite recall on the older-style Directeds, but the current style have synced gains wherein when the gain or other features are set on one amplifier, the amp that is externally bridged to it uses those same settings. Really quite a time saver when setting up bi-amping subwoofers, etc. Quite popular for the dBDrag crowd. I have several older and newer style myself. Brandonb Mark Zarella wrote: There is nothing that I hate more then trying to tune a pair of amps with an oscilloscope and a tone generator, because on average it takes me a better part of a week to tune a system with just a single amps per each sound range. That's why I never biamp a sub. I can't think of many reasons why you would have to, unless you're into some really exotic dB drag stuff. |

... It says right on the amp that it's 200watts. LOL In article , "Mark Zarella" wrote: There is nothing wrong with it other then it being extremely under rated and the fact that not many amps in it's class will keep up to it's rated 200 watts. How many 200watt amps have you seen that need to be fused at 120amps. If it's underrated, then it's not a 200 watt amp. Mark is saying that it shouldn't be listed as a 200 watt amp, but closer to a 1kwrms amp. |

... True, but never the less, it sells amps. if a buyer has a minutes worth of common sense they will wonder why two amps that have they same power rating are not in the same price class. anyone that buys an amp based upon the power rating is a noBie |

Tony the only reason I don't like internal x-overs is there a few amps that have a band-pass settings, if more had this I wouldn't use an external x-over. I still need my DEQ-30 nothing's better. |

... So does anyone here like the US Amps products? I've looked in a couple of them and they have a very solid design, at least the USA50HC, 100HC and the 2000X looked good. -- Jammy Harbin J & J Electronics, Inc 227 S. 4Th St. Selmer, TN 38375 731-645-3311 they're very good amps, only problem they're class A/B so you may need to upgrade you elect. system. one last thing is that they are long like 20"+ so that is also a consideration for install purposes. |

om... I spoke with Al. I appologize for getting defensive to a few posts here. I do appreciate and respect everyone's experience and opinion. Its getting overwhelming trying to decide what amp to get. There's just too many options out there. People keep suggesting more and more different brands. There's just too many!!! Adcom, a/d/s, Audison, Brax, Butler, Diamond, DLS, Genesis, LinearPower, McIntosh, PhoenixGold, PPI, Xtant, Zapco... If anyone has experience with any of these, please share your comments as far as sound quality goes. (please name specific models) I already tried Butler TDB-475, DLS Ultimate A3, PPI PCX-4125, and Zapco C2K-6.0X. Thank you. great guy, all those are great amps, I would take a few weeks, months and look at all the amps you can. to see how they fit in the car, intergrate with your system. The Butler is a tube amp you have to like the sound. Nothing on the DLS amps but the mids/tweets are above average. PPI is PPI not great, but will give you every watt you pay for. and the Zapco is a class leader lots of power and features if you can find a pre-owned one you found a deal if not it's a lot to bit off. |
