-No idea what the deal is today, but they are still around!
The 4ch I had was very much underrated, where I run a pair of front components and a single 10". Plently of power and punch for me while not being over done. Fits nicely under my F seat as well. Seems most comparible to their NINe.4 amp. Worth looking into.
Here's pix of the guts if you like |
Yeah, I almost bought one of their subs a long time ago, but decided to get something I could hear in person. The amps look ok. The guts are ok too; bus bars for power, single transistor pair per channel, decent switching coil. But the PS capacitance looks a little weak for the power rating - but fine for mids/highs (don't know if it's enough for sub use though). Not bad all in all for the price. I like the simple look too - no fancy LEDs or other gimmicks...
