No idea. Just know they work great for a add-on sub duty as it only has speaker inputs, auto-on sensing, pretty good efficiency, built-in sub filter and decent output into lower impedances typically found on suitable speakers like the Eminence Delta-12LFC.



Did you by any chance measure the idle current consumption of this amplifier ? Interested in how it would compare (current consumption-wise) to my Vibe class GH car amp = about 2 x 70W or so into 2 x 4R ....

I'm trying to come up with a bicycle (no trailer) transportable setup ..... now I want to power the amp from a 17Ah SLA and get run-times of 5-6 hours (but might settle for 4 hours) .... not sure if the Vibe amp could do this (running at less than full o/p, but on bass duty).
The Vibe amp consumes 500mA doing nothing ..... if the Kicker amp uses appreciably less, it could be what I'm looking for .....
REMEMBER....POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS SHOULD BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

Eh ? Is that addressed to me ? Sure 100W things are no use at all .... need at least 24V .... better at 30V .....

amlu  - thats a highly ghetto solution and trust me I fully respect that. The problem is right tho, that the Sure 100w runs much better at 24V although this might be a solution still as i could run in the house from the mains on a PSU and out of the house then have a choice for 12v or 24v or 30V or whatever batts I can get.
That first crossover thingie is well cheap - good stuff.

Davey T - I think I would be kidding myself if I wanted to spend over £50 on this amp/crossover solution.
Does that work? PM me if you like or carry on in the thread with the info ;D

Slaz - not sure how interested I am in that Vibe...due to postage etc.. lets see what Davey has on offer first.
