I know some crunch amps are built in china. Fsa to be exact. Fsa is the same company that screwed steves amps up.

Just an update, sent Mike Stiers an email:

Mike,

Hi, I would like to take a moment of your time to ask some questions about the MB Quart DSC2000.1D. First off, is it a Zenon board? This is a hot topic of dispute on many forums. Next, does the bass boost on the DSC boost the signal prior to amplification, like a line driver, or after on the output, like a regular bass boost? I have been told by a dealer of yours it was the prior, just wanted to get it from the horses mouth. Last but not least, what kind of fail rate do you have with this amp? Do you have to repair alot of them? Any answers you may provide in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

This is his response:

Hello,

This is NOT a Zenon board. We will NEVER do business with Zenon as they are bad for the industry. We employ our own Engineers are work with several build houses throughout China and Korea, but Zenon is not one of them. Many competing manufacturers have taken our amplifiers and had them duplicated at other Chinese and Korean vendors as is evident by the numerous similar designs you see in pics on the forums. The Bass Boost on the amplifier end panel is a degree of boost at a fixed 45Hz tone that is boosted during amplification. The Remote Control is a LEVEL boost identical to the Level on the amplifier end panel. These amplifiers have a very low failure rate if used as the manufacturer suggests.

wrong again it was made for 12v and is rated at 12v it blows up daily it cant idol and cant be paused more they 30sec theres a major design problem that was missed and any vibration on the board also blows them or anything past 18.1v and it loses 1db at 17.9v vs 17.7v maybe thats why they were removed from the line.

 

[SicAudio 5,000+ posts]

no if it was made for 12 volts it would be rated for 12 volts lolz

i know of a few minor production issues but it has nothing really to do with the design.

thats why it is a competition amp not a daily driver amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

it was meant for pure raw power and thats it for short burps 30 seconds at a time.
