JP23 or ?

The SQ stuff gets crazy crazy expensive and I’ve been to a few events around here which is fun but SQ is more subjective as well.

Yeah I agree on the 30 second vs burp.

So back on this thread, what would you recommend for Thx?

With his budget a Taramps Smart3 or Cab22. I've yet to hear a Cab22 so that is just based on reviews. I think he should get a SIA2500. The SIA is a smaller SALT board. It has a lot of Korean parts. I think they are the best full bridge amps out there.

What about the JP23? I’m seriously asking what you think about it compared to your choices overall

Potato potato... If he didn't understand what I meant, he wouldn't have responded the way he did.

You get hung up on the word Outlaw. If it was Sealed vs. Unsealed then I don't think you would look down on it so much. Like I said, when people get a demo they don't put their head against the windshield.

I would personally get the SIA2500 over the JP23. The JP33 and the SIA3500 would be a tough choice. I like the fact that the SIA amps are almost identical at one and two ohms.

Serious question... Why is one better than the other. The SIA2500 has so much less inside and the CAB22 looks so traditional. They obviously make power in different ways.

I'm sure that the Cab22 is probably a good amp I've just never heard one or seen anybody else running them. I see a lot of people running the SIA3500. It might just come down to personal preference and the amount of space that you have. I have two amps in my truck under my seats. SIA3500 for the bass and a Crescendo S4 for the mids/highs.

Ok, which is going to be more reliable?

Here take your pick. Just a blind look at the specs.

Take your pick. Top or bottom amp?

This is what I don't like.

2,500 watts at 2 ohms, 2,000 watts at 4 ohms and the signal to noise ratio is big for me. It's your choice though.

Oh no, I get it. 108db signal to noise ratio is outstanding. I love the smaller footprint as well.
