hey guys do you think that the human reign amps are worth the money they cost (SQ wise)

they look really cool and from what i have found on the net it seems that they are tops for sound quality just wondering if they are worth the massive price tag.

if you don't think they are worth the money, mention why not and if you got any other amps that are just as good for sound quality, post them up with a price any help would be really appriciated.

Cheers, Grant

Andy Jones, IASCA Street X SQL is code for "I half ass everything." Basically you are saying you are not loud enough to do SPL, and have no idea what it takes to do Sound Quality. So you meet in the middle with a quiet system that sounds like ass. Good job at being mediocre.

care to explain Pete?


i know alot of the cost go's into the making of the face.

internals are quite sexy. i wouldnt knock one back.
QUOTE (RMA @ Feb 6 2010, 01:22 AM) My only regrets are:
Selling Fudd an amp (for a fraction of the real price) that had been returned by Autobarn Geelong which had been incorrectly used by AB Geelong and turned out to be faulty when Fudd started using it.
Whilst he was given a new amp after it could not be fixed, he never acknowledged any of the assistance given and bitches to this day about it.

yeah, the face is certainly something different and i'm sure it's got plenty to back up its looks with. But i'd have to agree that a decent amount of what you pay would go into the face. While we're on the topic of expensive amps, does anybody know how much an Audison Thesis costs over here in Aus?

Yeah, after you throw down a 50% deposit.

Last I heard, the SS Human Reign goes for around 8k for the 2-ch. And they are MASSIVE!! Honestly the biggest amps I have ever seen.

yeah, a phenominal amount of money. The power specs aren't too weak either. Does anybody actually know somebody who owns one of these beasts and has had the privilege of a listen?

I dont think ANY car amp is worth that money.

Entering an SQ comp is about spending countless hours working to pay for a great sub, only to be told you need to spend countless hours tuning so you can sound like you don't have a sub at all.

yeah but if you're a rich pr*ck it beats having your money sit around doing nothing only to die and have your selfish children inherit it.

There was a Mercedes done in Geelong, featured in "In-Car Entertainment" magazine from Mar/April 05 -- don't know if thats helpful or not, but the install did feature 2 x H/Reigns (one 4-ch, one 2-ch) plus a D'Artagnon (talking about expensive!)

[edit: ebay seller] have them for quite cheap (compared to retail). However, as they are US Imports, don't expect Soundstream Australia to support you (I have bought lots of SS Tarantula amps off bitaudio and they have worked perfectly, so no dramas imo)

Human Reign 2 = $3200
Human Reign 4 = $3100

this is compared to like an 8K RRP, so def worth it :P
