Your opinion on this amp? 7K for $700
Instead of me just spitting a brand name out, I'd like to see what ppl think of this amp and its info, without a brand name to align it to. I'm sure somone will ruin my fun anyhow

# RMS Power Rating:
* 4 ohms: 2500 watts x 1 chan.
* 2 ohms: 4400 watts x 1 chan.
* 1 ohm: 7000 watts x 1 chan.
# Magnetic induction regulated drive power supply
# Pulse Width Modulated high-current matched MOSFET devices
# Class DE technology utilizes elevated efficiency platform technology
# 90% High density construction surface mount technology
# Metallized high temperature low ESR capacitors
# High speed audio grade low level stage components
# Balanced Transformer-less Logic input for highest possible damping factor, slew rate and S/N ratio
# Stability filter design for reduction in noise
# Wired remote bass level control included
# LED power (green) and protect (red) indicators
# Variable Bass Boost (0 to +20 dB bass boost at 45 Hz)
# Time delay soft start turn on
# Mono channel operation
# Preamp RCA outputs to daisy chain multiple amps
# 3-Way System Protection circuitry (thermal, overload, and speaker short protection)
# Heavy duty aluminum alloy convection cooled heatsink for extreme heat dissipation
# Platinum-plated RCA level inputs
# Platinum-plated screw terminals
# Input sensitivity:
* Level: 250mV-9V
# Variable low-pass filter (40-250 Hz, 24 dB/octave)
# Subsonic filter (15-40 Hz, 24 dB/octave)
# Damping factor: >200
# CEA-2006 compliant amplifier
# Frequency response: 20-250 Hz
# Dimensions: 28-1/4"L x 9-3/4"W x 2-1/4"H
# 1/0-gauge power and ground wiring is required for installation.
# 1-year Manufacturer's warranty
Will also run 0.5 ohm daily (with juice of course) and down to 9 volts (well maybe huh?)
Sooo, digital, CEA compliant, I believe those ratings are at 14V.. 649 US plus shipping.. Not strappable
Would you try it for the price?
Start picking it apart..lol
Think of it as a no name , though it isn't

Well whatever you do, don't put the amp ON TOP of your box ... without spacers at least.
From what I see / little I know, it seems to list all the regular options ... class "DE" I don't know what that's in reference to ...
And you want to run it at 0.5 ohm, daily AND low voltage ... oh boy.
I'd rather you run less power, BETTER than to run this much and never hit the wattage this thing is capable of.
Probably run it at 0.7 ...
# Variable Bass Boost (0 to +20 dB bass boost at 45 Hz) - 20? Whoa ...
# Frequency response: 20-250 Hz - 250Hz, not as great as other top amps ...
And I don't see any mention of external fuses (and how much) for when this thing blows ...

Well since you kinda ruined my fun in Barrie , I was going to post up what it is for you. This could be fun and I kinda want to see what people think about it doing it this way, it is not hard to find it though. LOL

The price is questionable, from MSRP in April, to what it's being sold for today. That was quick.
Really? I mean, I'm a believer in trying cheap amps at ... under 500 watts, but THOUSANDS of watts? No way, I wouldn't even bother with "Kole" lol

Jd - Hard as hell to find the amp fuse rating, they list it as N/A. Even the PDF manual I found doesnt show it.
I've only found a few pics and they are all top/face pics...
I do know that its little brother, the same line of amps/ class etc. is rated at 2400w rms @1 ohm = 360 amp in fuses, for a rated 2400 watts.
Fresh - The DE stands for digital class d, I'm trying to get out of the stone age, I keep looking at re released old school stuff
Davibe - I wasnt really planning on running it a .5 and 9 volts, (yet) I'm just listing what I read about the amp .
You so right, I don't really need an amp this big, but I know how to turn it down for this price!!
Thanks Nick..
