eD nine.1
http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/pro...products_id=44

memphis mcd-1000

Lol if you buy ED you deserve to be screwed...get the Audison and never have to upgrade again.

No birthsheet, but did come with a handy little tool

. I am running it at 2 ohms to my one sub....nice sounding combo. I am also using the VCRAK remote gain module with it.

Elemental Disaster shouldnt share the same thread as Audison, despite the LRx being 2yrs dated. ell even the SRx is a superior product and Much better company to deal with.

Or just wait a bit, Im sure Ben has some crap up his sleeve to copy DLS products now since he just dumped a ton. He got, he saw, he liked, wont be long til he tries to copy...

DLS A6 is a SIIICKK amp. I had one before.

I consolidated/simplified my system so I got rid of it.

Get the eD, it's a better product than these bandwagon *****es care to admit. However, Audison makes great stuff and you'd be happy with anything they have.

Might as well buy kicker amps...ED uses their scrapped boards (they used to at least) under those "wonderfully crafted" heat sinks. Or maybe they use the crap Avionixx boards still...who knows.
