I have 2 JL amps. 300/4 and 500/1. I personally bought these amps because of 2 features that are VERY important to me. Well 3 actually. First is Signal to Noise. These amps have some really low noise levels. That to me means cleaner sound. 2 You dont need a redicoulous 14.4 volts like PG amps or oth...

Need Transistors please

I need at least 2 of the SSP45N20B but would take upto 4.
Also need 2 of the U1620R

Any exact replacement would be fine as well as long as I dont have to change any gate resistors cause that is way over my head to figure all that out.

Thanks a bunch

I had a few Xtant amps. I thought they were the best amps I ever heard. Although they were the A2002, A4004 and A6001. I still think they are some awesome amps. I never had problems with heat. Maybe these older models I had were better designs? And why dont more people use Balanced inputs and regula...

Fuse question

This question has caused arguments at work. I have 120 amps going to a device. Can I use 2 60 amp fuses in parallel to let that 120 amps pass through or even 3 40 amp fuses in parallel? Many say no but I say only in parallel cause I see amps using many fuses this way instead of useing one large fuse.
