So I got caught in a cross fire.... bid on a Sunfire amp then bought one elsewhere now I have two. UHHHH>>> lol what now?? I spoke to a fellow member that says I can bridge the 5x200 to 2x400 but I plan to try the Audio Space tuber on my 5jr and really don't need the extra amp. WTF? I'm stupid sometimes that's for sure! May be just impatient but feeling stupid anyway lol.

Thoughts?...1C

    If you sell it here it should go rather quick. Those don't last long around the flea market, I think most of us have/had, used/tried Sunfire somewhere in the rig. If you don't need it, sell it.

    That was my idea. I just wanted to be sure there wasn't something cool to try first. I'm not doing the Bi-amp mod to my 1c's so I don't see that duty coming in the near future. Just thinking at this point I guess.

    Two of them stacked together make for nice audio ****.:mrgreen:


    Wish I could go back in time when I had two Sig 7/400's and a Stereo Sig 600/2 all under one roof and all connected to one system. It was the BEST ht experience of my life!:cheesygrin:


    Edit*** should add that all the speakers in that rig were 4 ohm speakers.:eek: The math broke out to about 1600 wpc! Not saying they actually ever put out that much, but I could make windows rattle a block away.

    Hay suse! I bet it was lol. I am ..sort of.. looking for a 2x600 for the other 2 channels. I'll definitely get pics before the **** gets awy (thats about all the **** I get after 10 yrs of marriage lol). I just don't think I'll need it. If I hadn't gone the QSC way last week I might have kept it for the wife's prog but really no sense in taking up space if someone else can use it.

    This is a great idea, but the buyer would need to pick up actual shipping costs and a "nominal" handling charge of $750.00.:cheesygrin:

    :cheesygrin:Karma....OH your a funny one ain't cha! lol!

    As good of an idea as that is I think I'd have to agree with the terms of the karma as Nooshinjohn suggested before it would be feasible.

    It shipped this morning from MD so it shouldn't take long to get here. I figure I'll play with it a bit then offer it to a fellow Polkie. It has a burnt light so I'll probably fix that....I do want to compare it to the 425 for giggles and might do some bridging tests I heard about.:wink:


    Karma.....SHEEEIIIT LOLOLOL!

    I'll take it. Just send it here. I'm in need of something new. Keep it as a backup, or you could start another system.

    1C,
    I can think of worse problems than being temporarily "stuck" with two Cin Grands...

    When get to that extreme it's time to start quoting figures in hp... :cheesygrin:

    7 *1600 = 11,200 W ===> 15.02 hp
    More later,

    :smile:I was definitely not complaining. Might be nice to cover the other 2 channels with the 5/200 and maybe get the 5 jrs in the mix. Awful hard to hide that thing though and I already told the wife I'd only keep one.

    HMMM LIGHT BULB! (in my best despicable me voice).

    forgive my ignorance, but I though 750w=1hp either way it's still in the ball park, i came up with 14.9333333 hp

    I think I might have an addiction.

    I do appreciate the offers (PM'd) but I was looking for info such as chaining the channels or other neat tricks that might be tried. When/if I decide to sell this or the Sig I will post it in the flea market with standard rules applying. I don't think it's fair to sell to a PM when not all members are allowed due to post count. I have thought of the possibility of a "pick a number between 1-500,000" type of karma but haven't decided yet.

    Thanks for laughs :)
