[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8451380, member: 614752"] It's the same decade + old class D circuit that ALL the Far Eastern amps use and most of the "10K" versions are essentially the notoriously flammable Hifonics Sampson XXV board.... or that board with a few extra caps, toroids, or MOSFETs. These designs just aren't reliable much beyond 2KW.. You'd be well advised to use many smaller amps which are generally more reliable and far cheaper to fix when they blow up. If the price is right even keep a spare or two kicking around. I'd trust a pair of Atomic, Sundown, DC, AB, Nendo 5K's much farther than ANY 10K... I'd trust 4 2K or 2500's even more still. Ah yes. you never metered, but it's SOOOOO loud that you've already sold your subs and are shopping for new amps? I'm typically 152.7-152.8 but was down 152.1 most of this summer with two amps out getting patched up and one sub pulled. [/QUOTE]
