I know that Optical transmitters and recievers are VERY expensive in the broadband electronics world. They are primarily used for LONG distance cable runs. If it was just for cable Telivision, probably would never be a need for fiber optic cable ... But as communication develops, and signals change from analog to advance digital, addition of internet and phnone services, more and more companys are running fiber optic cable to handle these larger data transmitions ... but coax is still the primary in most cable companys. People are learning that fiber to the home is no better than hybrid coax systems ... just more expensive for the companies and the individual customer ... I think some Alpine units used this technology from headunit to processor applications, but never to take the place of RCAs to amplifiers ... And if I remember correctly, those units were / are really expensive and only sought out by true audiophiles ... I think most advance systems like this use CAT5 data cables or something similar to transmit data. I almost positive that this is ALOT cheaper than fiber optic runs and just as effective, possibly better depending on applications ... My guess would be that people would not want to pay the prices it would be to have optical transmitters in the head units and have optical recievers in the amplifiers ... Maybe some VERY high end sponsored vehicles, but not for people wanting good deals on everyday headunits ... I could see a use for it to transmit advance digital /data signals (definately something we may see in the future) but for a no longer than a 25 foot run of analog signal, Chances are you would not see any difference in signal improvement or degregation ... If you look close to my head unit / amplifier installaiton, you will se that I use RG59 coax cable for my RCAs ... They work GREAT !!!

Awesome Looking Amp Sir

Just wait untill you see the plans for my Nursing Home Theatre !!!

Congrats guys !!! Awesome pics !!!

Nice to see those drivers in action ...

Welcome to SSA

Congrats

Welcome to SSA

Nice looking amps Sir ...

Haven't seen a 85 Monte in a while ... Is it a SS ?? Welcome to SSA !!!

Aaron ... What SSA Driver(s) would work with a low enough FS to go into a Sound Quality tuned enclosure ?? somewhere in the neighborhood of 24 htz ...

Thank God its Friday !!! Been a Long Work week ...

Well then, aparently everything worked out fine ... Amps turned out great !!! The vehicle was exceptionally quiet on the inside for the demos ... Well, considering I was parked next to the "Bass Mechanik" booth ... It worked out really good ... Over a hundred people got to demo my truck at this show ... Long Weekend, but Fun !!! Just got me some bucket seats the other day. I need to get them recovered. Then I can get started on my center console/ floor shifter !!! These new Linear Power amps are AMAZING !!! It was really great to meet up with Mark and Aaron (and everyone else from SSA) at Spring Break Nationals. I was very busy stuck in the demo booths, So thank you SSA members for coming over and talking to me !!! Hope to see all of you again soon !!!

Very nice enclosure build Sir !!!

No go on the Vid Sir ...

Nice Drivers !!!

Awesome !!!

Have fun Sir

Happy Birthday

I have my passive crossovers installed on the kick pannels near the components ...

I'm tuned in Sir ...

Welcome to SSA Sir ...

Great News

Awesome looking driver Sir ...

What do we need to do ??
