    Yes it is. Actually its better. Mitek is legendary for their bulletproof build quality. MTX amps and subs are virtually indestructible and Xtant is no exception. Id stack up the new line against the old line anyday.

    I think Xtant is every bit as good if not better than they used to be.

    MTX on the other hand might be as if not more durable than years past, the sound quality has taken a HUGE step down. Basically fell right off the ladder. Not to mention they're ugly as piss. Almost as bad as the PPI **** series.

    Car Setup: OEM Radio, RF 360.2v2, Polk SR6500 quad amped off 4 Xtant 1.1 100w mono amps, Xtant 6.1 to run an eD 13av.2, all Stinger wiring and Raammat deadener.

    i had a new xtant amp and it took a crap in less than 6 months. my oldschool rockford punch 40, 60 and 200 amps are still in my girls car now. my carver amp is in my car and running my sr6500 set after 10 plus years. that is durability and build quality. most of these amps today are cheaply made paperweights. buy quality once and have it forever.

    You mustve gotten a lemon.

    As for MTX's sound quality, I dont see how MTX could be much better! Their signal to noise ratios are routinely in the 120's and they exceed their ratings by half with zero distortion! You cant ask anymore from an amp SQ wise than that.

    Come on mac, you know better than this. Once you start looking at the stats that hardcore, you stopped listening to the amp. Period.

    i have the sr124-dvc and am going to use my zapco c2k-3.0 rated at 600 watts into 2 ohm bridge. in real life it puts out about 700 watts. its expensive, but they are rock solid amps with a damping factor of over 1000 to really control cone movement.

    So- how does it sound?

    Waiting (im)patiently for an update on your opinion of the SR124-DVC.
