lol flat 6 every time...oh and blue is better than red...everyone knows that

Exactly. LOL

mmm V6...

Agree-ish with stick.

Hi-power amps may always be TH & SMT combinations. TH will only continue to be used while the characteristics of large TH components cannot be replicated / replace by SMT components. I'm taking of parts such as High Voltage & Capacitance Caps, large hand wound inductors and components that require large amounts of heat dissipation / High current capabilities. However the SMT/TH ratio will continue to increase in time, as SMT parts are cheaper, more readily available and cheaper to place in volume.

While i wouldnt buy MTX, all other things being equal, I'd rather buy military spec than "made-in-a-sweat-shop-in-china/korea/taiwan/indonesia/malaysia/etc." spec.

I have done a bit of reading on tru here, if the production/parts/etc. that tru-tech uses are so expensive, how come the other brand's amps cost the same as the trus ?

And i take it we are not fans of tru here?

i think everyone here has respect for tru and i don't think you'll find many negative comments on these amps.... just that they're pretty thin on the ground in aus at the moment. they don't nearly have the same coverage as other competitors like audison or zapco etc... hopefully this will change. i'm still hanging out to hear some tru amps!

straight six. no question. :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: take one look at a bmw 3.2L inline 6 (s54) and disagree with me!!! go on i dare you! hehe

i have driven BMW's with 6's (2.5 and 2. and there nice but i prefer the v6 i got only a 2L but it's got enough grunt, nice exhaust note and mega quiet the rest of the time

(and not mega $$$ to repair like bimmer's!)

lol. fury muff. well i spose i can't really comment. i'm about to buy a bmw with a skyline engine innit... lol

d

shame on you!

yes yes it may be sacriledge; nissan power in a bmw... poor little thing. but you've just got to drive it! soooo much fun. 228rwkw in a light e30 bodyshell.... (12.79sec 1/4) *drewls all over self* hopefully take delivery within the week...

for those who read zoom, go dig up issue 70.... thats the one.

i'm gonna go nuts with sound deadening, some fibreglass, some phoenix gold zeropoint amps, some dynaudio stuff and a 9255 and she'll be sweet!

sorry bout OT... but it is your thread anyway



d

i should just change the name or stick it in OT haha

will take pics of car and start new thread somewhere...

Because other brands have found that paying $500 for an amp, slapping your well known brandname on it, and selling it for $2500, is a remarkably quick way to make money
