Hey all,

Got the prototypes in my hands today ;). Very satisfied with the quality of the work done! I will edit this thread tomorrow with tested power results.

1500W (0 GA Power Terminals) @ 1 Ohm is the first amp
800W (4 GA Power Terminals) @ 1 Ohm is the second amp

Will post estimated pricing shortly as well! These are designed to be some brutal class D amps as you SPL enthusiasts have come to expect, so I think you will be very pleased!

P.S. - Higher quality pics coming soon. These were done from my phone.

That board design is pretty much final - yes :). Case will also remain black, although the heatsink design is changing.

What about the design did you influence and what was the goal of doing so? And no, I don't care about cosmetic.

Please read my posts with care. I do not pull punches, but state exactly what is on my mind. My goal is to make you think, make you try harder and to improve yourself AND this forum. This doesn't mean that I don't like you, am being aggressive towards you, or have any other hidden meaning. Instead look at it as me trying to make you better. In no way at all should your butt be hurt by my posts. If so, read it differently. You agreed to taking criticism when you joined, doesn't mean that you have to choose to take it personally. The more effort you put into your threads and posts, the more I will in return. What you get out of it is up to you.

I was. Super proud I didn't shit my pants. I was sure it was going to happen.

We sit on the same bench. Your "asshole" just makes me curious.

I was not referring to those lines, not to familiar with the amps they make. But yes - I will also be posting clamp results tomorrow so stay tuned. Think you will all be impressed!

Why would you ask about these? I'm 99.9% sure Skar is going to be a pretty good bit cheaper priced than both of those. And really, two totally different markets to compare.

Ofcourse I know the JL amps, but I have never tested one or seen the boards, etc.

I can tell you that it will compare to the other SPL names (AQ,RD, DC, etc) out there for amps in its class!
