I've used a couple of these little guys in the past...



The X1 came DOA, but I had it repaired and it's worked great ever since (1.5 years); the DSP is also very nice to have. The X5 has performed flawlessly ever since I got it. These things really offer great bang for the buck.

Thx for the repiles guys. What did you think about your buddies amp, hzsogood?

I will be paying about $.20 a watt for the mono amps. Prolly about $.35-.40/watt for the 4 channel to get an idea on the prices....would you say they are well worth it. I'd assume they are well worth it. Come with real 1 year RF warranty as well....not some ebay "warranty" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

I had five of them, they were great amps; clean, powerful, very easy to setup, and I got them all at great "EBAY" prices.

However the only reasons I sold them was due to the fact they were too big for my setup. I have an active three way up front, I couldn't fit them all in my trunk and still have the room I desired.

Still great amps though.

Talking about those amps, I bought one

Type RF X6 (refurbished) 2 weeks ago from Ebay, Audiosavings was the seller, and well it works and all but it seems to lack in power output.

I am running with my ol' cheapo legacy subwoofers since I only upgrade this summer, and well I need to put my gain at minimum 3/4 before pushing some good bass. It is wired in 2 ohm and when I go past 3/4, it is really sensitive, like turning it clockwise 1/32'' will be hearable but before 3/4, there's almost no bass at all. Before I switched amps, I was running an MTX RT202 2ch amp Bridged in 2 ohm (yes, it ran them flawlessy) So I guess it was pushing 300rms, but now I am supposed to run at least 800RMS with this one and it doesnet seem to do it until I hit almost full gain. It doesnt clip though.

If someone has a clue about this amp gain problem just drop a post here.

PS: I am all wired correctly with 1/0 guage front to back splited to 4guage for amps, grounded to the frame, bare metal and my Pioneer deh-7600 (with the ground trace issue...)

The amp was real nice, good power and clean sound, But i just wasnt to impressed with the overall performance, I believe there 1100x1 @ 2 ohm.. If that works for you it's a great amp, otherwise i liked the T1000's or bd's for the big power
