Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19644 Registered: Oct-05 | its just an idea. the rd amps are awesome for bass but i need a bit more than 55wrms for my comps. 150 is too much. |

We use silver wire Capacitors in signal path and power supply for a focused sound image. Special designed DLS Audio capacitors in key points and WIMA polypropylene capacitors. Four pieces of 4700 uF on each channel for a deep and wide sound stage. Dual mono power system design plus separate power supply for tube and pre-amp stage for clear sound reproduction. - RMS output per channel at 13,8 volts, 20 Hz - 20 kHz , < 0,04% distortion.

Silver Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 539 Registered: Aug-07 | good call... ya theres to many amps to choose just 1. why not get a kicker or alpine? just wondering why u want high$$$ equipment. |

|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19651 Registered: Oct-05 | lol yeah. besides i've always wanted to try out a zapco. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 13433 Registered: Jul-05 | i would go DLS - after all they wouldnt make a shiddy amp for their speakers right !? .....& like u i would prefer my sh1t to match ...... |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19652 Registered: Oct-05 | ima go talk to the dealer this saturday about the dls. if i can get it for around the price of the zapco then dls it is. |
|
Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 2528 Registered: Jul-05 | If you get zapco get the comp series. The refs are good, dont get me wrong but the competition are crazy. Maybe try and find a used C2K 3.0x? For the price I would probably go with the DLS though. I cant see myself spending $650+ on the zapco that does 75x2 @4ohm... its pretty stupid if you think about it. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19653 Registered: Oct-05 | you have a good point jake. here are some pics of the dls insides. not bad of an inside for an amp that does 100 x 2 @ 4ohms.    |
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sI get Bucks like Milwa... Post Number: 4888 Registered: Feb-06 | if you've always wanted zapco then get it chadly. hell you have tried everything else, haha. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19655 Registered: Oct-05 | yeah the dls i post up there goes for $2000+. i don't think i'll get that. lol. |
|
Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 2529 Registered: Jul-05 | Haha yeah... You would have to get the DLS Ult A2. I didnt even notice you put the TA2...that things crazy. Mobilesq has the A2 for 440+shipping, but they go for like 550 in shops. Id almost rather paying the extra 100 tho...never know what could happen. You could also do the DLS Ref RA20...rated at 100x2@4 but its really closer to 140-150. |
|
Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 2530 Registered: Jul-05 | I hate to throw another amp into the mix...but i have to. Helix B2 Precision 80x2@4ohm@12volts. I would put it above the DLS A2 and Zapco ref but not quite as good as the zapco comp 3.0x. I think they are close to 800 new...but if you can get one used it would be awesome. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19657 Registered: Oct-05 | ok i am only thinking of spending 500 or less. the shop where i got my dls speakers gave it to me for less than mobilesq so i am sure the amp will be less too. if i can get the Ult A2 for around 400 bux it would be sweet. the zapco c2k is just too pricey for me though. i can't be spending that much money on component amps. no matter how much i want to brag. lol. |

Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 2532 Registered: Jul-05 | Good call on that one Jack. Think about doing that Chadly. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19659 Registered: Oct-05 | that would be awesome but no. i am more than happy with rd audio. |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4845 Registered: Nov-05 | how can you say that if you've never tried a dls amp |
|
Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 3741 Registered: Mar-06 | The C2k is nice, the dc line is more affordable, and a killer line of amps. I do like the tubes in the DLS tho. Tough choice chad. But if your going tube, look at Butler and Helix too. |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 13445 Registered: Jul-05 | ''''''its a basic 5 band eq/10v line driver''''' hey that 10v is pretty good - only other pre i can think of right now is soundstream 5x0 & 6x0 ...that 10v makes a really noticable difference & its convenient too .... |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4858 Registered: Nov-05 | chad i was talking to the dls dealer i got my nobeliums from.. he said the ur6 was his least favorite set from dls and that the iridiums have a lot of midbass but require more power than rated to get them going for the extra money he was saying the iridiums was the way to go so if you really love your set of comps.. imagine when you decide to upgrade .. you'll be in heaven haha ive heard the iridiums lacked but i guess its all because those people either didn't power them enough of poor install.. his friend runs a set of nobeliums like me, but runs 500rms per mid |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19693 Registered: Oct-05 | well i was talking to the dls rep himself when i made the decision. not my dls dealer. the actual guy that works at dls. he is running the ur6s in his car cause the irridiums were lacking mid not mid bass. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19694 Registered: Oct-05 | btw the irridiums would of only been 100 bux more. so yeah i would of got that instead but the dls rep said get the ur6s. also he said in his opinion the ur6s is really good and not much different from the nobeliums. now i know what you are thinking. why would the dls rep not try to sell me the most expensive? cause the shop that orders the dls for me is a good friend of the rep. they have been friends for a long time. |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4859 Registered: Nov-05 | oh i see.. no clue.. i'd like to see his install and equipment used tho |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19695 Registered: Oct-05 | i would love to see how he set it up too. according to him he has 2 sets of ur6s with a dls 4 channel amp. now if i ever get to hear the irridiums and find out it sounds better than the ur6s then ima go kick his azz. lol. |
