Pics! Here you go.

That's funny since those are not US caps. The only company in the US who makes most of the components that would be in this amp is National Semiconductor and I guarantee you none of their parts are in this amp. They called a buildhouse, picked out a generic board and sink and had the BH engineers install components to meet their spec, and voila. Any of us can do it. You call up a company, tell them you want a 5K amp with .001% distortion at 4ohms that is stable to X ohms, draws X amount of current, etc. They build some protos, ship them to you, you test, agree or disagree, wait til they get everything right, pay them, and bam you have amps. You don't have to know a damn thing about amps, electronics or anything. All you need is money. It's pretty simple and has been done for quite some time, and some people have become quite popular doing this.

The site could possibly be down tonight for a few hours for some major long awaited updates. The upgrade isn't just a maintenance release, it's a major software upgrade. http://www.caraudio-forum.com is currently running it, go on over there and check it out for your selves. Thanks for your understanding.

It's really better to contact me with purchase specific questions directly: [email protected] - I don't want to act like this is an SDS forum. This is a good opportunity to talk about general door issues. The first step is to apply vibration damper to the sheet metal. 25% coverage with a good quality product, weighted toward the center of the panel, is plenty. Interestingly, 700% coverage with a poor quality product isn't Now we get to the barrier layers. My very strong preference is to hang the barrier on the inner door skin, right behind the trim panel. The advantage of this placement is that it puts noise entering the door through the front, rear, top and bottom is behind the barrier. If you have speakers in the doors, you're also acoustically reinforcing the plane to which they are mounted. For this to work, the trim panel has to cover the entire interior surface of the door when it is closed and there needs to be space behind the trim panel. The alternative is to hang the barrier on the outer skin. I'll do this when the inner skin won't work or when it does but I want to add an extra barrier layer to make it harder to hear the door mounted speakers from outside the vehicle. I like to finish by lining the trim panel with a resilient and absorbent material to soak up a little extra noise and to thoroughly decouple the trim panel from the inner door skin to prevent rattles.

why'd you bump the moron's thread. Classic line. pre-orders are going fast. Rofl, then why bump it everyday? And it isn't like you couldn't pre-order more. Mo' douchebaggery

The spam is not an issue if reported right away. Some members feel the need to have fun with it, and it lingers, but we are on it pretty much right away all the time.
