Why do some DC amps not have the silver bar aesthetics?


Recommended Posts

If I google say, DC audio 2.0K, half the amps photoed don't have the silver bars on top, and some do..

Is it something people take off or just different models?

The silver bars were added later on. I think they added them to more resemble the early 2009 zenon board amps. Here is a picture of my old DC PAI 3000.1 amp from back when I had it.

Correct, alot of people liked the 2009 models looks. that was the pai amp, then we moved away from the zenon factory, and produced the a2 series amps, those are the all black models. Then we released the a3 series amps that are very close to the a2 line but with some small internal changed and put the bars back on them to bring back the "look" of the original amps. We had even had 1 customer do it on there own before we had done it
