Dls A6: Fake?

[ultimate157 5,000+ posts]

I'm looking to pick up an A6, but I've been reading on here that DLS is a target for copy-cats. Is there any way to tell a fake DLS amp from a real one?

This is the one I'm looking at:

Would match an 880 pretty nicely //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have heard enough bad reviews that I will not even look at one of their auctions.

i've bought from indoaudio before. they sell legit stuff. most people's gripe with them is that they are god-awful slow to ship and have terrible customer service.

indoaudio is one of the worse dealers on ebay. real slow shipping and just about zero customer service. $344.99 is pretty freakin cheap for that amp. if it doesn't come with a bass knob and the terminals aren't gold then it's fake

They're a bunch of douches, I wouldn't be surprised if it's fake or used

I bet its real from Indu but they are crappy sellers.......look over the feedback,pretty sad

Well they are a HIGH volume dealer so mistakes are bound to happen. I mean 64,000+ feedback and 98.5% of people are happy..? Pretty **** impressive to me. But the deals that did go down bad, went really bad it seems. I have purchased from them a few times and always had good luck. I had to warranty a deck once through them and even though I did not buy the additional insurance, they still covered it.

Also they are legit with DLS amps even though they are *****ing them out making just a few bucks on them which in turn will lowers the status of DLS as a company but at the same times gives us **** good equipment for less $$$, Pinny the DLS rep really needs to crack down on them.. but doubt he cares as the sales are putting more cash in his pocket and all reps care about is volume.

It is VERY hard to tell which are fake DLS as they have now cloned them down to the terminals externally. Only little details give the fakes away externally such as the ring colors around the rca's. Only real way to tell for 100% is pop the cover. If the circuit board is green in color, it is a fake as the use crap thin PCB's for the guts.

tristateaudio and car audio go together very well for me. i make a lot of purchases through them now. prompt shipping and good prices.

Love my a6 but it draws enough current at full tilt to power a small town.

Quick question: Why does the A6 have 2 power inputs?

Tried loading the manual off the DLS website but it is in a format I don't feel like getting a separate program for.
