[QUOTE="Fishchris, post: 8747355, member: 683065"] Oh, and it only uses one battery :) lol Granted, it's a pretty beefy battery. But any of us can have one, starting about $3K I get that it could be very dangerous for anyone who did not know what they were doing, and if this were to catch on, probably 20 guys would be killed in the first year, and next it would be outlawed..... but I don’t get the danger once it has been properly designed and setup ? I mean, any more so than driving an electric car with a 400 volt electrical system is to begin with.... Now, cost wise, that 116 Kwt RMS amplifier is only $800 ! TarAmps also makes one that puts out 160 Kwts, on I believe, 240 volts, also only about $800. That many watts from a bunch of big class D amps would probably run you $20-30K or more. I’d bet the rest of this system didn’t cost that awfully much (relatively speaking, when compared to other 100+Kwt systems) I was thinking too, a person would not have to have a super expensive, all electric car to do this. Just a 400 volt electric car battery, and the quick charger to go with it. Those can be had from aftermarket companies starting at like $3K. I know this is a really extreme system, but then many of the systems talked about and shown here are also extreme. Honestly, I'm sure it would be a lot "different" to set up a system like this, so maybe it would be "harder" in some respects, but a lot easier in others. {when I worked in the fish store, I used to tell people about saltwater tanks....
