I need some help finding a Modular amp for some active cabenits. I'm trying to find one that is capable of supplieing 800-1,200watts at 8ohm operation mono and it needs to be 120V because of American plugins  . Anyone know where I could get some here in the US? Or at least some Modular amplifiers around 400-600watt 8ohm? The higher the power, the better for subwoofer use  .------------- Previously known as NeverWinter Background: Automotive, Live and Home Custom Design. mid/high level based design and feild experience.

With all due respect, probably not worth the bother. It'll be cheaper to use passive cabs and external amps. I'm still not sure why active cabs are getting so popular. They involve running so many extra power cables and offer no redundancy in event of failure. You'll still have to run an active processor as you'll struggle to find/afford a passive filter capable of dealing with that power. Of course thats how i feel about them, maybe better someone who likes them should advise you ------------- My laser stuff: http://www.facebook.com/SubsonicSystems" rel="nofollow - Frikkin Lasers |

Well I do understand why some don't like active cabs. I like the idea because the amplifier is with the cab instead of in a seperate case. Cables don't cause much trouble for me, it's a compact highpower system. I can deal with big cabs and active cabs, but I really don't care for carrieing a 110 pound case full of amps . Caster cabs are more suitable for me  .------------- Previously known as NeverWinter Background: Automotive, Live and Home Custom Design. mid/high level based design and feild experience.

I like that amp Toxic, only problem I see with it is that the heatsink
fins on the inside, not the back. Causes a problem with heat in horn or
sealed cab would'nt it? @td_mike, where would i find this "Wayne Parham" ? ------------- Previously known as NeverWinter Background: Automotive, Live and Home Custom Design. mid/high level based design and feild experience. Bass specialist |

renkus heinz gets me all worked up
KV AUDIO! a local band 'shapeshifter' use their gear on tour everytime,and a club now bought some. Interesting since NZ is quite limited range,most just go for martin audio or overpriced JBL. Quite high quality gear from what ive heard down here. |

Ya I saw that one. I think I might go for that other one. I'll just
take a drumbroll and and try to modify it so that the heatsink is on
the outside. Not hard for me to do .

LOL I just went and looked at some added pictures of the HPSA1000 Dayton. There IS no heatsink for it . Looks like im going to have to add one on, I don't like the fact that theres no heatsink... on a 1,000watt RMS amp...
