dwright27 Posted December 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 crack open a 7KD and compare it to other amps that make that type of power, and you'll see why. It has basically half the components in it, and that means they are being driven hard. I checked one out, and if it was my money, I wouldn't run a 7KD daily. I just don't see them lasting. Only time will tell though, they haven't been around long enough to be beat on, and most of them aren't seeing daily duty. if you have done your research you would know they've been being used for 10 + years iin south america, and not to mention the 2 deathmatchs hes won. deathmatch is 5 minutes straight.

stratusrt01 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 (edited) if you have done your research you would know they've been being used for 10 + years iin south america, and not to mention the 2 deathmatchs hes won.deathmatch is 5 minutes straight. 5 minutes is different than playing music for a couple hours everyday for months on end on low voltage in someone's daily ride. Like I said, time will tell.... I've seen the inside of the 7KD, and there's a reason why it's so small. Just for the record, I have a lot of friends running them right now, however none are seeing daily duty, but on 16-18 volts, they are insane.

n8ball2013 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 dont forget dante has been known to talk a little bigger than he walks. He promised a 180 for months and months before he actually did it. I like alan alot but sometimes you have to take what he says with a grain of salt. I know hes a rep and trying to push his product but I would wait and see and do some research before i dove head first into something.
