cc_audio Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Memphis amps are like women. They are beautiful, powerful, and Incredibly sensitive. I fucking hated my Mojo and loved it at the same time. Would dish out unreal power and then go into protect FOR NO FUCKING REASON!!! Hope he has better luck cause the sure are purty.

It didn't like subsonic filter being off and went into protect. Turn it on and it started working perfect. Prolly my most favorite amp but god damn was it touchy. But they are known for that kind of shit. Quote It's all gone! The Celica Build Feedback If I buy something from you, DO NOT USE FEDEX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwigglezdj Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 i love my amps, and the looks, but i can say i do wish they made them wider and shorter so they would be eaiser to mount, what good does a 3.5foot amp have? does it disapate heat better being skinny and long or just look better....

cc_audio Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) i love my amps, and the looks, but i can say i do wish they made them wider and shorter so they would be eaiser to mount, what good does a 3.5foot amp have? does it disapate heat better being skinny and long or just look better.... Thats a big reason why I liked mine so much, they are very sexy. That heat thing may have a big part in it. I do not recall mine every being hot and I would run that thing all day, my Z1 however gets hot really fast. Edited April 26, 2009 by cc_audio Quote It's all gone!
