Speak to Russ D on http://www.bloodandfire.co.uk - www.bloodandfire.co.uk he really rates them JTS UA6 amps well.
 
Also Jah Tubbys and Iration Steppas use those UA6 amps on bass.

No disrespect to Russ (he's a nice guy) but as he's one of Tubby's agent then he will say nice things about these amps

Could you imagine Tubby's not using the amps he's selling
Irration doesn't also use a UA6 on bass
 
Best thing would be to go and hear one of these amps in action

it does sound like a good amp from what has been said in that thread. it will be interesting to see when Jah Tubbys get back to me with a price.
 
the UA6 on paper is more powerful than a crown 5000VZ in stereo at 4 ohm.

£1375 is what Russ D quotes for the UA6.

i was kind of expecting it to be a bit cheaper than that. thats more expensive than a Infinate 8.

A mate of mine who runs a massive system use to run it with 2 racks of Infinate Amps, then the other day he used a stack of JTS amps & says they sound better.
 
But who knows, I'd personally have to hear that for myself.
 
I was in Brixton Rec once when the sound systems were setting up, & Iration Steppas was testing 2 separate 5k amp made by the Late Linx from B'ham & he was not happy with them at all.
 
They were using each one on bass per stack (3 stacks in all) & the 3rd stack had a JTS 10K amp (5K per side) where he was using one half, & you could easily hear the JTS out perform the Link amps.
 
When I hear the system with the JTS & the Infinates together my own verdict will be updated.

Which series of JTS amps are you talking about here outperforming the Void Infinites?
 
The JTS Proamp series or the UA series or the Annhiliator series?

The amps I'm talking about which my mate rated over the Voids were the UA Series...
 
The amp which sounded better than the Link ones was the Annihilator.

Try UA4 just under a grand and nuff power to drive 4 box easy.
I got 6!

What you running off your six (SIX!) UA4s Samiam? Thats a serious Bass section you have if you're powering 4 bins of each amp..you running 24 bins?
 
Assuming you're running four of each piece (and assuming the stated specs are realistic) , thats two a mailto:channel-1700w@4ohms - channel-1700w at 4ohms . 850Watts per box. Plenty power for some boxes, but anyone running 1850's might find they're not getting enough juice. Even with less power hungry cones like voids I'd want more headroom I think.

I didn't realize till the other day that the JTS UA4000, besides been a slightly older model, is much different from the UA4. But apparenty still dangerous.
