Phoenix Gold Phorum

I see on other boards that people getting all excited about them. Why? I thought they were just another marketing company without any design engineering reusing chinese ripped off designs. Am I wrong?

Nope, I think you've got the gist of it.

yes you are wrong if me serves me he works with mfg enginering to talor the design to his specs. so its not like its 100% cookie cutter

Their amps look 100% not special at all. The boards are a singled sided Chinese or Korean design. The Sanken outputs are a nice touch, but it seems all the Chinese amps these days are going that route.

Hes, in w/ the the SPL crowd that follows Nick @ SI so they push sunzdown amps w/ SI subs, and people see it as a complementary item. Also so a spler about $.50 for a watt BNIB isn't a bad price.

It is cookie cutter amps, but if you remember, he was a fairly nice guy over on SB

yea nothing agaisnt him, cool guy, and his amps can take abuse.


I saw two in action, w/ bigbassman, powering two SI mags. They were strapped down to .5ohms and took it like a champ for over an 1hr straight of showing off. For most of us, not greatest stuff as we stay away from spl, but if your looking for spl not a bad choice.

He was a nice guy, but as I recall he only stuck around while he was using us as a focus group to fine tune what he was going to produce. I don't know the guy to make a judgement one way or another, but in that circumstance he stood to benefit from being nice.

true ^^^
