Great amp, for those interested - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5751824167&ssPageName=ADME:B:LC:US:1

"Moderate sonic benefits" is what I've been told. In a car (crappy acoustics) - I'm not going to waste my time, or another set of channels. I guess the bi-amping I was talking about (crossover only) could be considered passive bi-amping, while the commonly discussed and used term "bi-amping"...

Going over yourself again and again isnt necessary. You're still flat false. When people say "Amplifier Classes" they are just saying it short for "Amplifier Classes of Operation". I don't claim to be an electrical engineer, but I know the basics of how an amp works, and the different Classes...

You can hook up a Basslink to anything with a signal. It has to be the easiest way to get sub-bass in your car. I bought one for my girlfriend, because I end up driving us around in her SUV quite a bit. I took it out, because it sounds like sh*t. I have it sitting in my closet, and was going...

I guess we're talking about different things here. Take a look at my McIntosh MSS650 manual, and you'll see what I'm talking about. http://66.216.98.167/mcprod/product_docs/MSS650om.pdf My 360a x-overs for my Dynaudios work the same way. Just FYI - I dont use the bi-amping feature on any of...

Talking crossovers: "Bi-amping" to me, and to the manfacturers of the x-overs/components I use, means running two input channels through the "passive" x-over. Are you using "bi-amping" and "bridging" synonymously? Because I am not.

Have an older cousin that used to work at Bjorn's in San Antonio repairing amps. I used to stay with him and my aunt, during the summer, when I was an early teen (27 now - sheez Im old compared to the rest of you). He would take me to work with him, and I'd get to hang in his shop and lend a...

I've heard "rumors" of it being done with decks that have MOSFET componentry. Try it and let us know how it works out....

The component sets I buy, have all had "bi-amping" capability. Where you can run seperate amplified channels to both the tweeter and woofer through their supplied passive x-overs. When looking for a component set - look for this feature if you want to run dedicated channels. If not - bridge...

True, and I didnt say otherwise, but what I was stating is IMO the fidelity is standard by which an amp should be chosen. (when practical of course). You don't see anything other than class A for those who have to transmit frequencies (radio, etc.) And they choose the class A because of the...

Tripath Only? I know one other co. is in the process of making a chip/digital amp for an oem app and I've seen and listened to a few different names for home-audio over the last few years. To my knowledge - which isn't much either - the chip is a true processor and is the switch for the...

Meant the harness was funky/confusing. So confusing that cars of fellow VW'ers would come from the factory with speakers wired out of phase at the harness. (assembled in South America - what do you expect) The speakers in that system can sound very good. As far as "tweaking", I mean't with...

Used to have an APR-tuned 01 1.8T ... man I miss that car. Side swiped by a 17-year old girl - totaled.. boo-hoo .... anyway. You can use the stock amp - simple wiring harness will do, the details from my memory are: no RCA's (of course); 2-channel input from the deck (you should see them on...

A loudspeaker can produce sound from both sides. In or out of phase. When you see a box, with the speakers inverted, it could be 1 of two designs. 1. The speaker is being run out of phase and is essentially being used in reverse. They are not firing into the box, or else you wouldnt hear...

148.7 geez thats loud !!! I've never been to a competition, so short of downloading the rules - in SPL class, do they care at all about transient response at all, or is it just who makes the loudest noise from their speakers? Also, do they rate you on sustaining a DB-level for a certain time...
