Amp design

[salamoj]

Hey everyone, i'm curious to hear different opinions about what amp designs people like. I'm a product designer and i'm currently working on new amp concepts....it would be nice to gather a little input from forum members here about what you like visually about an amp (any current amp that you like the look of the best?). Large heat sinks? small ones? a clean look? detailed design? mounting features? overall size?

Any feedback would be greatly appriciated!! thanks!

The cleaner the design the better, no need to be flashy with it. No contours and rounded curves or whatever, just straight lines on the amp. Make it as compact as possible without sacrificing cooling.

Beauty is in the details. Examples of what not to do can be taken from audiobahn and soundstream. I've always thought cleaner amps, like SA's or AQ's looked professional. People love seeing amp guts, so you could do a plexiglass window with your company name etched in, you could also illuminate that plexiglass panel and it would yeild a similar effect to this

I'd love an amp with digital control of subsonic & low pass filters, and gains with a simple LCD/LED display for more precise and convenient adjustment.

Maybe have it change colors after every hit?

That's what I was thinking, show cars always have fancy stuff like that.
