I have tested out the 6*9s, but have yet to give any of the monoblocks (8001), or the 2 channel 1502 a try yet. Anyone been using them at all? I see the 8001 going for 150 on ebay, seems to good to be true almost. I am not one to usually be cheap, but this system seems to be moving towards that way. 800watts for 150 bux? Apparently I havent looked at them on ebay, because I havent really noticed this. also 150 watts x2 for 130 bux. Just does not seem to add up.

i was looking at those as well, and the xenon200.4, but gotta get another job first-( i would check to see if u can bypass the xovers, run 'em with external xovers, and see if they have the 3darlington output , but i dont think they do, id also say ask rolandk, think he works for pg-
i have tried the rsd line, and use the 1200.1 for my subs, the ti monoblocks pull too much currrent for my A4, and its real hard to find anyone to rebuild the alt for it around here; thus rsd for my subs

Pretty sure the Ryval do not have the triple darlington outputs.

I am using the Ryval 754 and 8001 in my Wife's Tahoe and I was really surprised how good the setup sounds. I paid $150 for both Amps thinking I'd get what I paid for but I honestly think they are great amps. Do they compare with my X200.4 and X1200.1 well of course those are far more powerful but I can crank up the sound pretty good without distortion and had to turn the gain way down on the 8001 so it would not blow my RSD sub. I rank them a very solid mid line amp. Better than Sony, Kenwood Pioneer ect.

They are great robust little amps, that put out their rated wattage and take a beating. Pretty much par or better than other name brand gear in terms of circuit layout, at a much lower price.

I still cant see how they sale an 800watt amp for 150. But o well... New gear coming soon.
