Nick: Any thoughts about venturing int o home audio?
I can see that now...a crossoverless, two channel A/B amp that has the 20.1's penchant for ultra-low impedances, all built into a 19" rack chassis //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

500W per channel @ .25 ohm - can you say line arrays? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
Touchy indeed. I'd take a wild shot in the dark and guess it's based off the IA 20.1, but that's just me.
Nick: Any thoughts about venturing int o home audio? When are you gonna clean up that Web Site? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hide.gif.2d479cfd917eedfe201353b91522ceab.gif
Just to clarify, i meant other products not the 20.1

 
When looking at amp guts what should be looked for? What does each component do and what makes said component better than another? If I run a 20.1 at less than one ohm does that void the warranty

 
Hey Nick whats up. I have the 15" Death Penalty right now. I am thinking about upgrading to a 18" DP when it comes out. Are the new DP's going to be as effecient and loud as the old or maybe louder? Also why such a great change in the motor structure. I heard a while back it will be 50-60lbs...

I can't answer the last question, but the first two have been covered elsewhere...

On a typical SS amp with a switched power supply, you have electrolytic capacitors, resistors, MOSFETs, various IC's, toroidal inductors, etc, etc. Would be a really long post to individually describe the function of each, but thankfully there's Google for that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif bcae.1.com might also help you out...

80inches - Sure, come to drag finals and I'll get you a 7-Up. From the subs expect massive SQL, loud and low. Expect the drivers to have a new and unique look.

Ford302Redneck - I can honestly tell you Prowrestling is probably one of the most complicated things to be involved in, to do it is to respect it. I used to be on the road 3 days a week and I'll never be able to explain the feeling you get when you step into the ring in front of a crowd, nothing hurts, so much adrenaline, well until the next day - Monday was always hell.

90accordman - To be honest it's not really a touchy subject at all, I just take offense when someone is claiming there product is equal or better than mine based upon assumption that they think the amps is based on just to sale there product, only people to have even seen a 40.1 was my Team only, so I know they have never seen one to be able to compare both amps. I have no idea where they came to that conclusion, actually one of my top competitors talked to them and said he didn't need there amps as he had the same power, referring too both of them being 4000 watt amps, so he might of took that as the same board layout, who knows. Also, even if two boards are exactly the same in terms of layout that means nothing, other than the company using it didn't want to tool a new board to save cost. I mean just pretend two racers have identical cars, say Ford Mustangs, same layout, but one has a stock motor and they other doesn't. So that means that because they look the same, they are just alike, absolutely not.

Raven - Never even thought of home audio, my plate is full now, let alone another big headache. The website can always use work, but it’s always last as the products are more important.

mannyb18b - The 40.1 has some things like the 20.1 and is loosely based on it, but is upgraded a little more for SPL environments, but will work great daily as well.

btnhfan - I'm an Alabama fan when there aren't playing Auburn. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

JimJ - lol, funny stuff.

bdawson72 - You better believe it, a few people have seen it and there mouth just drops. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Bologablake - When the time comes for open house, I'll let you know, expect a post here.

Scrappy - I think you're looking for an exact answer and there isn't one. There are so many parts and unless you know every part spec, then you'll be hard pressed. Also, parts are just half the issues if two amps have the same parts but one is used incorrectly then it’s not equal. Yes, running it at below 1 ohm does void the warranty. Will it still work at 1/2 ohm sure, and 99.99999% of the time it will be fine.

skadude016 - Yep, the DP in my mind is the flagship driver of daily applications, so it will live up to its name. Just a little secret it comes in a 21 as well. Well, the DP used a TC9 variation, not a stock motor and I got tired of hearing about it and being compared to it, after all no two things are alike. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Another reason the motor grew 20 pounds was because we need to strength to move those 18 and 21 inch cones //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

JimJ - Your right it would take forever and at the end you probably wouldn't learn anything other than a lot of part numbers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

HotCarl - That's the plan, but it could be the first part of 2007, then it would be the 2007 line, it all comes down to when the products are ready. I want my customers to know that we make an excellent product as we do have pride in that and we are not driven totally by money. I had much rather loose a few bucks over several months and have people respect my company then to just put something together and say give me your credit card number.

ballstothewall - JimJ is talking the talk for sure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 
so the answer to my question in that big paragraph?

Is it based off another board or no, im very aware of everything you explained on how things can look the same and function differently and parts are of different graph etc etc. Im just curious at to if in your knowledge is there a board that has the same base layout as the 40.1

 
why hasnt anyone posted pics of the 40.1, inside and out? I know theres been a few misleading pics going around the forums lately, why is everything being kept so secretly??? From reading your posts earlier you mentioned people using the 40.1 in comparison to hype up other brands, I do believe i read a post on termpro written by bigdave that he said in his tests the 40.1 was tenths louder than brand *****, isnt this like a catch twentytwo? using brand *****as a comparison hyping up the 40.1??? Can you please put up some real normal test results of the output of the 40.1 at normal loads like 12-14.4volts and @1ohm etc...? Thank you nick for your time and your answers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

90accordman - The board the 40.1 uses is a stock board, just as the 20.1 is a stock board. We use them to save cost and then rework the circuits the way we want. Does anyone have the same board layout? I don't know exactly, but I'm sure since its stock PCB someone somewhere does.

SPL140.2 - The 40.1 is not being kept a secret at all, they are just not in circulation good yet, most of the people that have them now are people like Scottie Johnson and he and the rest of my team are more worried about db Drag, than putting up a few pictures. Our second production run will be shipping in the next few days to our customers, so I'm sure within the next week to 10 days you'll start seeing a lot of pictures inside and out. I personally don't like to post pictures or talk a lot on the forum in general as people see you as trying to build your product up, which is one of the things I hate the most. As far as Big Dave goes how can it be a catch twenty-two when you're asking for these results? Dave is the kind of guy that test everything in sight and for good reason, then when you asked him he told you the answer, as the 40.1 was louder. And once again you ask another power question at the end, so if I answer this am I hyping up my product? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif 3600x1 at 1 at 14.4 is our rating, plain and simple. If your asking this question in regards to USAC, don't worry they'll pass but it will be close just, like the 20.1.
