US accoustic wendy

[spokey9]

So I'm looking into 2 channel options for my tweets...I've got a 2 channel mini stetsom but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna want something else on the tweets...anyone know how well a wendy would do under a seat in the AR summer heat? Or maybe a different option that'd do better

I'm looking at about $150 on the high budget wise but less is good

This trauma I have stays cool to the touch all the time, it never gets hot. I know they do a lot extra to these as well. They make a mids amp that is very compact.

That's higher than I'm looking to spend and more power than I honestly need

I have a US Acoustics Lanna that I keep in the trunk of my car. It has never gotten too hot to touch. I played it pretty hard for five continuous hours last summer and it was cool to the touch at the end of my trip. But, it is in the trunk where it never gets overly hot. It is way too big to put in the cabin of the car.

This amp rocks. Best sounding amp I’ve ever had. Mid-bass punch is outstanding and has tons of headroom. But, that’s the Lanna, not a Wendy. But, I would think the Wendy would have similar sound characteristics.

This little 440x4 Taramps I have is a little beast, and its very affordable.

I've got a ts400x4 but I want a 2 channel besides I have my doubts how well it'd survive under the passenger seat with little airflow in the summer heat

Our customer feedback has been excellent on the Wendy: https://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/us-acoustics-wendy-2-x-75-watt-amplifier/

That Wendy is probably a good amp. I don't think SSA would sell junk.

You got any insight how it'll handle the heat under a passenger seat...that's literally the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger at this point...

The no-junk requirement is part of SSA, I won't add a brand if it is. Haha

As long as you are not running it hard below 4 ohm, or have the gains maxed, and there is some air flow (as in not totally sealed off) you should be good. It has a hefty heat sink on it.

Awesome...I'd be running at 4ohm...I can get a tiny fan in there and it won't be completely sealed off...I'm pretty conservative setting gains anyways...no point buying decent gear then clipping the sht out of it

Got that right. Yeah, if voltage is good, and there is the availability for air to flow near it, you are good.

The Wendy would probably be an excellent amp, but it is a Class AB amp and will get hotter than a Class D amp and under the seat in the hot summer Arkansas days. I would think a Class D amp would have to be the best choice.

I love my US Acoustics Lanna, but for you I would recommend the Orion XTR500.2 2 channel amplifier. It’s a little more powerful than the Wendy, but it’s nothing to worry about. The big thing is it is a Class D amp and you should not have to worry about the heat. Plus, it’s only a $180 at SSA:

ORION XTR XTR500.2, 2 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER 500 WATTS RMS W/X-Over

Shop ORION XTR XTR500.2, 2 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER 500 WATTS RMS W/X-Over at the Guaranteed lowest allowed price of 179 with 20+ yrs of the best customer service, only at the SSA STORE
