Xenon amps have surface mount technology. Far inferior than thru-hole and provide distortion, remember? :)

You're an idiot! Everyone knows only Rockford used cast iron heatsinks. PG uses cast gold...
Got "schooled" by member shawn k on May 10th, 2011...
No longer really "in tune" with the audio industry, and probably have not been for some time.
Hands down the forum's most ignorant member...
Don't even know what Ohm's law is...
