Bob's QC has been crappy at times. The older models had a unusually high failure rate, although he always took very good care of me. I ate dinner with him at world finals 04 and used a 75.1

Whats there to know? Zenon based just like most of the popular amps here. Made in Korea. Company based in Ohio, decent dealer network. Owner is a stand up guy, warrantee work is taken care of by the same company as hifonics, CIA engineering from somewhere up in the northeast

I have (2) Sounstream xxx 15" on each AB amp and it pushes it like a champ. Had one go bad one time and Bob had it fix

me 2, most companies its a pain in the *** to get stuff covered under warrentee, unless you know somebody. Since bob was a friend of mine he always did me right. Personally as a regular consumer I would buy a Sundown amp because Jake eats alot of bad amps under warrantee that most companies wouldn't ( stuff caused by user error )

It's really a gamble, you can get a cheaper amp like a hifonics/AB/others and if you have a problem you pay then to get it fixed, maybe you'll have a problem, maybe you wont. Or you can pay a little extra up front for piece of mind.
