- Are you referring to the Boltar?
-
- I have that amp useing 2 twelves in stereo.
-
- Of course if in activly crossed over at 120 Hz.
-
- I didn't have any problems with it except when I first installed
- it I ran out of 10 AWG wire so I used 14 AWG for ground. After an hour
- of bass it clipped but now that I have 10 AWG going in and 10 AWG going
- out it works fine, it gets hot of course (not that hot) but it doesn't
- clip. And I didn't hook up a fan.
-
- It doesn't have a fuse so you have to get an wire (10 or 8 AWG)
- with an inline fuse. I have it connected directly to the battery.
-
- So if your friend is happy with it, thats good because it is a
- very good amp, IMHO. It is 2 ohm stable.
-
- Another reason why I bought it is because HiFonics is located
- two towns away from me, so if anything goes wrong I don't have to ship
- it all over the country.
-
-
- I hope this has made you feel
- better,
