look at those ohm ratings!!!! and they are HUGELY under rated

Yea those amps are insane. I got 3 2100 HCCA's and I love them I will probley never buy another amp. I wish I had the ones made of 24K gold they are the rarest of the breed. but specs wise for the most part the 2250sx"the Beast" the 2100 HCCA and the 97.3 are all pretty much the same amp. My buddy steve a.k.a The Amp Doctor fixes all of them often. If you ever need a amp replaced he is excelent and he lives in mass. His number is (781) 871-7423.

I'm chuckling, this must be one mighty fine joke. Right, a damping factor of 10k and a S/N of 150db. I wonder how many people believed this? Though, do correct me if I'm wrong. If this is real, I'm sure that Peavey, Crown, AT, QSC, Lab Gruppen and Quest would love to know how to get damping and S/N that high, let alone how to run that low a rating to a conventional amplifier.

Cheers,

Mick

Yeah, I must say by the time you use the 60ish woofers it would take to get the impedance that low (figuring dual 1ohm coils) you'd get about 16 watts per speaker?

[dwright27]

thia amp really pushes like 2 - 4KW at like 1 ohm guys.

Okay, and the point of the thread is.......?
