June 23, 200818 yr comment_132936 This one is for all you speaker guys. I figured that most of you don't venture over the Headwize very often and honestly, this thing is so freakin' over the top that I just had to post it here. This amp will debut at the Norcal meet this weekend and holy heck I wish I could be there to see it. Project Development Thread: Click Here And hopefully Ti won't mind if I link to just a few of his images in this thread. Honestly, it's one of the most impressive builds that I've ever seen.

June 23, 200818 yr Author comment_132944 Wow that looks amazing It's power output is equally as impressive: 170W+ in 8ohm, 320W+ into 4ohm, before clipping. Report
June 23, 200818 yr comment_132958 That's going to be a long one. Hope you can get it in the mail for the meet k thx Report
June 23, 200818 yr comment_132959 It looks better than most commercial amps. I was tracking Ti's progress for awhile, but kind of forgot recently. I just thought it looked so damn cool. Report
June 23, 200818 yr Author comment_132975 I wonder what the parts cost is on that thing. Rough estimates are north of a grand, however Ti's example cost a lot more than that. I'd budget at least 2 grand, probably more. Report
June 23, 200818 yr comment_132977 I wonder what the parts cost is on that thing. I believe someone on the DIY thread on HF bareboned it at $1200. Ti's proto with its really nice chassis and I believe he went overboard on some parts probably exceeds that easily. Report
June 23, 200818 yr comment_133003 Paging penguin, paging penguin. I want it to match my beta22. Thx. Report
June 23, 200818 yr comment_133005 That's a beauty. I'm looking forward to hearing reports from NorCal. Nate is it too late to cancel my 8 case quadrupled menace and switch to this? If it is too late, no problem. The new custom title sure beats "Spammer". Thanks! Report
June 23, 200818 yr Author comment_133007 Paging penguin, paging penguin. I want it to match my beta22. Thx. Jack, in all seriousness if anyone asked me to build this thing for them they'd better be prepared for price tag in the high four figures (decimal points need not apply). It is massively complicated, has an extremely high parts density (easy to frack up) and absolutely requires a tank of a chassis. Report

June 23, 200818 yr comment_133016 He's saying the balancing scheme in the b24 follows a nelson pass patent. It's an overarching patent tho. I think this design is fairly unique. Report

June 23, 200818 yr comment_133032 Care to elaborate? well, the patent in question is "super-symmetry" and there's a lot of ink spilled on it. amb did the right thing and got permission from Nelson and all is good in the hood. I was just being snarky / a NP-fanboy. Report
June 23, 200818 yr comment_133043 If I had the cashola I'd shell out for an X1000.5. That's bragging rights right there. Report
