Crazy 8s Drums Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 One should still allow for proper ventilation for your amplifiers, regardless if they have fans built in or not. Orion XTR amplifiers Skar subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaCiFiKbAllA Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 I’ve owned the TS 2.8k and currently the Wolfram 4500, both are beefy, both had/have fans I agree, reason why some have them is cause of better efficiency and costs. 1 x Fi Audio SP4 V2 12" D2 Fully Loaded 1 x Wolfram W-4500.1 2 x XS Power D5100's 250A Singer Alternator 2.67 Cubes @ 29hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 An internally cooled amp with a fan will have fins inside to help disperse the heat out. A fan that is added to a design without cooling fins inside while using a fan is doing so to cool a poorly designed amp. If you look at the older PPI power series amps before being sold off, they had internal fins inside for the air to move over and help cool the amp. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of flexing in the forum! Not sure why some people reply to requests for information with a 'guess' as a response... Sounds like someone trying to flex when they dont have anything to flex.

Crazy 8s Drums Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 There are many ways to skin a cat, amigo! My cats still have all their skins so an assumption could be made that I don't know how to skin them...yet I have a razor sharp knife on my person at all times. If there were only one way to skin a cat, every amp would be the same...and likely they would all be the best amps ever made...like this one... Why is this the best amplifier ever made? They are the best because I made them, of course! ❤️ Orion XTR amplifiers Skar subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiBo Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 I really like the DC stuff as well as Twisted ( Wolfram 4.5k same board I guess). I live in Las Vegas and cooling is a must. Still leaning towards Wolf... ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
