There were multiple revs. Basically came down to where people didn't realize they were sending more than 5v through rcas. When they fixed that, the problems went away. As long as your HU isn't an eclipse you're basically good. I trust DIYMA too and found an equal number of good and bad reviews on that MA.

If you're more interested in favorably reviewed, I'd stick with either PPI Phantom or Soundstream Tarantula Nano. Pretty much identical architecture, just different casing.

Its got basically the same issue as audiopipe but 2 times the price.

Meh it's your money

the polk d5000.5 seems to be most appealing to me but i haven't read much on the ss tn5-950D yet.

Same basic architecture between the Polk, nvx, ss, and ppi. Specs are all slightly different. Reviews of the ppi and ss say they're slightly underrated.

Wtf is with the SS rating,

85W RMS x 4 @ 4 Ohms Plus 270W x 1

130W RMS x 4 @ 2 Ohms Plus 430W x 1

520W RMS x 2 [bridged] @ 4 Ohms Plus 430W x 1

 

[neo_styles 10+ year member]

Could be a typo. Where'd you find the specs?

 

[neo_styles 10+ year member]

Yeah typo. Even ss's site states 230x2 bridged

 

[slim2fattycake 10+ year member]

o ok.

not all those you say were 1 ohm stable like the polk amp on the 5th channel.

 

[neo_styles 10+ year member]

Fair enough. Would it be a deal breaker if it wasn't? Haven't heard great things about new Polk...

 

[slim2fattycake 10+ year member]

maybe, its all added into the equation. its going to be better for me to get power at 4 ohm or 1 ohm than 2 ohm since wiring configs are usually better for those two options compared to 2 ohm.

I still have the PPI Phantom P900.5 on the table. cannot seem to find them for sale anywhere though.

 

[slim2fattycake 10+ year member]

nvm actually found it cheaper than the polk d5000.5.

okay I think the polk is last in the race now. I'm liking the precision power p900.5 and the boston acoustics GTA-1105. Seems to be down to the sub channel at 2 ohm or 1 ohm and footprint.
