Posted March 5, 200619 yr Well, it has been a while since I last posted, and I finally got around to hooking up my IS4065 in my car (the guy who bought my Planet Audio VX3002 wanted it). Well, I had been procrastinating doing it because I figured it would sound the same, well, if I had known what I do now, it would have been swapped out waay ahead of time. I turned on the car to set everything up and I noticed that my music sounded different. I quickly eq'ed something not even listening (just setting my typical eq because i had to switch from network mode to regular mode). The first song I played had tons more detail than ever before. I keep listening to everything over and over again to get the full effect that I have been missing. This amp makes my Planet Audio VX3002 and Orion 4004 sound like garbage. I have always been one of those "a watt is a watt" guys, but now I have changed my opinion.Thanks Flakko.
March 5, 200619 yr Author where are the pics !?!?!?!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Haha, it's nothing special but I can post some pics up tomorrow. Wait till I finish everything I plan on doing until you ask for pics. It will be sweet, but it might be till spring break when its done.

X2 on the pix!
March 5, 200619 yr makes me think as well... might have to put a 2080 and an 800.2 in a head to head.
March 5, 200619 yr Get an oscilloscope if you do I have a very hard to impossible time hearing any differences between indentical topologies under the clipping threshold, but w/e.
March 15, 200619 yr I have a scope and can travel, sort of anyway. Office in LA I "get" to spend time in frequently, 31v input Spectrum analyzers too.

Office in LA I "get" to spend time in frequently, 31v input Spectrum analyzers too.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>hmm ill try to get my hands on a 2080 and an XT800.2 bring it on over!gogo is IS vs XT do it!also jeff, maybe you can be a 2nd pair of ears, for the review?should be getting a new shipment of XT's next week. thats rite beer30, and Eldorado... next week.this time im gonna tell them to save some for me lol.
March 16, 200619 yr ooooooo nice..... o yea, got those benched specs for me to look at? =D<{POST_SNAPBACK}>factory = busy now cant bench anything.... although being totally honest, the bridged numbers on the XT1600.2 and 800.2 are fibbed. im gonna need to change the spec thread.Jeremy
March 16, 200619 yr r the ike sound specs fibbed as well? ike sound has the XT's on sale and their advertised specs r diff than yours!

March 16, 200619 yr I have always been one of those "a watt is a watt" guys, but now I have changed my opinion.When you conduct this same experiment in a scientifically controlled setting, with a scientifically valid experiment, let me know The differences you heard are likely due to either power or gain differences. That simple.

March 17, 200619 yr r the ike sound specs fibbed as well? ike sound has the XT's on sale and their advertised specs r diff than yours!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>dude, its ike sound <{POST_SNAPBACK}>= crap.Nuff said. Badged as anything but is still that same. Buy a low line, expect a lowline. Period. I dont want to hear some asshat complaining because he bought a IS, expecting a AX. :jerkit:
March 17, 200619 yr ^^^^ lol seriously... people ask me, "can i drop this 2080 to 1 ohm bridged?"im like DUDE its the entry line!!!i mean for the money, the entry levels are AMAZING. but they will NOT hold up to the usamps of the past
March 17, 200619 yr I dunnoThe Xterminator line ( entry level) competes against some top of the line amps from other companies.
March 17, 200619 yr Admin I dunnoThe Xterminator line ( entry level) competes against some top of the line amps from other companies. but when will they be CEA 2006?
