So the answer was nothing. Makes sense I suppose. Why would people choose to buy your version of this amp then?


Far from nothing, but if you fail to see that then that can be your personal opinion.

Then what are the differentiators?


Differences when compared to what? You can't ask such a generic question, every amp is different. If you would like to compare a model you can email me, but I am not going to publicly differentiate every model of another brand you decide to post here. That is not what this thread is about. End of story.

Kevin, this is really simple. Thread is pimping your amps. What & why would I or anyone buy one. That is what everyone wants to know. You can take a wild guess at what everyone assumes. If you choose not to change the beliefs then they'll stay.

So far you've given us:

Customer Service, Brand Loyalty, Great Product, etc.

The first being dubious based on history
The second being ridiculous, but I do realize it happens. Boner buys IMO are dumb.
The third we'd like to hear something about.

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 can sit here all day and tell you about them, but you won't be satisfied about what makes them quality amplifiers until I post clamp results, so why don't you just wait till then and let the numbers speak for themselves.

Honestly, I wouldn't be happy if the numbers posted are above what they are rated for....

This is a common tactic for many companies and it's getting old for those of us who are not new to car audio.

Just about every amp from Korea can post a higher output than what it's rated for...
Why? Because they are running into a higher THD level than rated..
Which means.. it comes into question whether or not they are actually doing rated power BASED on the rated THD level the output is rated for.

How about something new to the table?

Extra protection that's necessary or worthy of being developed.
Influence us with some features not seen on hardly any or no amp!

When some new amp comes out, we are tired of seeing it's the same amp as-
Amp A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, and maybe K, L, M and N...

Sean, of course he is pimping his amps, he's a business owner, and this is his section, frankly you are being quite disrespectful.

I would be surprised to see the MOSFETs used on our PCB on any "Standard" or "PreFab" Board many on here are suggestion these are.


Oh really ?!?!? Name the brand you use...

This IS the topic. What makes them special ?

Kevin come on, I think most people know that you make a great sub at a great price. But designing amplifiers?
If those amps of yours are protos, then I guess that this is just some amp that you built for another company first prior to releasing yours?

denim: Yes, both monitors were shaking bad. I work at a mid-size engineering firm. Funny story, the structural department all stood up and none of us said a word and we all hustled out of the building, the entire electrical, process, mechanical and piping departments were staring at us.
