Re: Bridged v Stereo for SQ

Old eclipse amps bridge very well and sound great to my ears. Most of them are absolute bargains until you get to the big 2 channel and the class D's.

I don't do an RTA or anything but just go on what I like. There have been many I havent liked.

Re: Better SQ: MB Quart or PG?

Meh. My Mb Quart can take 150 watts just to the mids and the midbass can move your pant legs. I have a tendency to cook tweeters ( of all brands ) but Ive found you can pretty much get what you want out of most tweeters by placement.

Re: quick repair question

Well it wouldn't hurt to open it up and do an visual inspection. If this is the case then I don't see why it would hurt to repair the trace with a jumper wire (proper gauge) or some solder wick that is thick enough to cover the whole trace that's open. Whatever you do, DO NOT JUMP/BYPASS the fuses ...

I had the same thing happen on an xs amp once. It was from touching the screwdriver to the chassis while the power wire was hooked up. I was told that the fix was what I just described.

quick repair question

I got burned in a trade on an old eclipse amp. The amp doesn't power on and there was no power at the fuses and no wires got warm. I popped it open and the ground for the power section had obviously gotten very hot but was intact but the trace from the power connector to the fuses is burned. Can I j...

Re: Opinions please

The specs look good, and for the price of that 4 channel I think it could be a good value. Honestly though, I would be more concerned with dependability than performance. A quick Google search for CT sounds turned up a youtube video of Steve Meade putting the 1400.1 on the amp dyno. Seems like a pr...

Re: Opinions please

There are no stupid questions, but yes yours is pretty stupid. :wink: The circuit design has more to do with the sound of an amplifier than the parts do. An example would be the PG M25 which has very few parts, but excellent sound quality. As for the build quality of that amp it looks pretty good t...

Just found out the monos aren't 1 ohm stable so they aren't an option. I'm not replacing my brand new sub.
