nano and mini amps

[nervewrecker]

Alright, so looks like nano and mirco amps are officially on stream. The choice is not between the Rockford and Soundigital anymore.

What is a micro / nano amp:

Must be approx 6" in length,
Accepts 8awg B+ and gnd,
No set price as price varies a lot based on brand.

Soundigital Nano technology first look by SMD

[X_Factor]

does it matter?
most use the same design probably except for the jl's anyways

[southside connections]

massive audio, used their products before, well built amplifiers

[shake d livin wake d dead]

idk if this falls in the same category but I see stetsom trying it with the vs line.kicker has a few as well.

[kavaninho]

lepai looks reel small too but nut sure if does the power?

[Ted_v2]

Sound digital

[nervewrecker]

X_factor, isnt the RF a bit different from the rest too?

I know there are RF, JL, Massive audio, Lightning audio, Kicker, Arc Audio, Soundstream, Soundigital etc.

Matts have some small amps as well as DD.

Who else got what?

[Ted_v2]

Powrbass?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Alpine,Jbl........

[nervewrecker]

The powerbass mini arent all that small IMO.

Oh yea, forgot JBL but the Alpine PDX wasnt always small? havent seen anything from them recently.

[Ted_v2]

Audio pipe and pioneer??

[shake d livin wake d dead]

The powerbass mini arent all that small IMO.

Oh yea, forgot JBL but the Alpine PDX wasnt always small? havent seen anything from them recently.

[dg216]

anyone use the arc audio?

[Soundstream_626]

I am using the Arc. 2 804s and a 2000.1. The 804s have similar output to the Jl xD`s I had before. The 2k I cant really comment on too much because I don`t have the electrical system to really back it up. I took a pic of one of the 804s next to a can of coke as a size reference:

[dg216]

nice , i want a little bit more power i have a phoenix gold 5 channel currently , so looking into all these other small form factor 5 ch but also within same price range . And quality

[SQ Audio]

See other models here

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=469375

[saints_sound]

sound digital uses nano technology amps get small as youre wallet size i remember the dealer for sound digital "vinai" brought one in school and it was literally the size of ur wallet and it packs a good punch too ..

[Coppershot]

check out the polk audio, precision power phantom, nvx, hertz hdp amps, all have same internal board as arc audio and soundstream (tarantula nano not picasso nano), all similar specs and size. I think the hertz hdp has the most rms output.

just my 2cents

[Soundstream_626]

Actually the Arcs are different from that series of NVX and Polks etc.
see here:

http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/hot ... antom.html

[southside connections]

I've used =

audiopipe
massive audio
rockford
jl

all very good to say the least, all cea rated, and all give rated power

I like the rockford brt lines, excessively small

I would like to use the arc's soon, but price is a bit out of the league for most day to day consumers

[dg216]

Anybody could compare the Arc Audio xdi 805 to massive nx5? real world comparison not specs online and who are the dealers in TT for these ?

Saw the crossfire amps today at sound research in gulf city, pretty small and neat.

Anything new for 2014 guys?

Edit: keeping with the thread I have seen the Kenwood amps at triple r.

[Master of Disaster]

Crossfire is 1 of the best in those small amp range , recently got some info on auidopipe as well , they seem to have gone up in quality as well ,and got pretty small to , 1 of the cheapest amps out here , check those ,as well as lightning auido , am using the 1000md , works like a charm
