Digital Designs (2) S2b...2 x 450 @ 4 Ohms, quad power transformers, and Burr Brown op-amps. 25" long and almost 10" wide...the MAP on those are $1100 a piece.



And then (1) S4b...120x2+240x2 @ 4 Ohms...the MAP on this one is $900.




I'm talking BIIIIGGGG headroom. The power output is true, it's not one of those fake output amplifiers. 450 x 2 without even cracking a sweat. Can you imagine 450 x 2 on your L6's? Yeah baby!

Where and how much are you spending on these Beauties!/Beasts/Audio Climax gems?

Before you get too excited, let me get mine in...I'll crack the cases and I'll take pics and we'll take a closer look these.

Jim sells the line. Before you jump on board, let me give them a try. The MAP on the S2b is $1100 and the MAP on the S4b is $900. Am I paying that much...no.

These seem to me to be a modern version of old school engineering. We'll see. I'll let you know what it all looks like.

I can wait, I know I can!

Thank you so much!, I had great time with family for sure. But I bet I'm older than you LoL





On the other hand, I almost got on tears this morning... (good news) I did all the wiring again! in my car and when I turned on this morning the noise wasn't there! so Sqcomp.. I don't need to send the amp back, it's working fine! Now I'm only going to return the amp to it's original position and test it for a couple of days.

The only change was the RCAs from the HU on the passenger's side. So far so good.

What I need now is the information about that relay for the amp to delay when the amp turns on and get rid of the little Pop when I turn the amp on.


So let's get back to the Mids in the a-pillars.

So it was introduced noise from the RCAs. Jim was talking to me about the costs of IF the amp was found to have no issues...

Now on to the soft relays...

That is why I worked so hard trying to find out why? I believe in the P-99, and the PB amps too. I knew it got to be some thing else it was worth the effort and wait.

Yes tell me what to get for the PB amp. please

Turn out to be a great audio meeting

3 SQ cars
3 SPL

I think others came after I left... I listen to my SQ-CD in most of them, I lost my hearing in a couple of them!

The Mids & Tweets get 75 watts from the PB Asa1100.5x





The midbass gets 150 watts from my old GM-x1024

Sqcomp, you are right when you talk about headroom and I can't imagine how good 300 watts for mid-bass would be!

When cranking up the volume and my mid-bass started to fail I used to say: "My speakers can't handle any more" I sort of blame on the speaker it self, but now I'm understanding it's the Amp that starts sending noise into the speaker and less music. I know the speakers make a difference too, so it's relative with my thoughts.

I'm amazed on what 50 extra Watts did to my system.

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

How about 450 Watts at 4 Ohms on the L6SE's?

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!



450 x 2 for the mid bass speakers

another one of these for the sub. I'm estimating around 1300 Watts @ 4 Ohms for the 15" (one of these surfboards puts out 2700 x 1 at 2 Ohms). The mids and tweets have a slightly smaller four channel for them @ 120 x 2 and 240 x 2.

If I start seeing dimming form the load on the electrical system, I'll get a drop in alty.

Wow!

Sqcomp... are you going surfing or snow-boarding!

Sweet.

I need Jim to get my I6SW ready for next week, please let him know I'm calling him and if you mind making a copy of the CD we talked about, I'll appreciate it.

Drop me an e-mail about the CD. Remind me what I'm doing for you...it's been a while.

..and yes, I'll be doing both surfing and snowboarding! :) I'll report to you how the system works with this much headroom and control. Something tells me it'll be juuuust fine.
