Lanzar Opti Scion Amps

[lanman31337]

Anyone running the new 2009 series stuff? I just sold my 4 channel, and wanted to pick up one of the new Scion amps.

We've stuck to the older (proven) Optis so far, but I have had my eye on the Scion amps too. They're a little down on price point from the <08' Opti amps, but I hope Lanzar isn't cutting corners to get there.

We get the OPTS600.4 (150 watts RMS x 4 @ 4 Ohms and 240watts RMS x 4 @ 2 ohms) for $156.40, the OPTS300.4 (100 watts RMS x 4 @ 4 Ohms and 160 watts x 4 @ 2 Ohms) for $120 and the OPTS150.4 (50 watts RMS x 4 @ 4 Ohms and 80 watts RMS @ 2 Ohms) for $108. A lot cheaper than the older Optis, but they were lacking a decent 4 channel selection of Optis before so the Scions at least fill a hole in their product lineup.

The difference between 2 and 4 Ohm rated output on these amps isn't tremendous, which sometimes indicates an underbuilt output section. For my own systems, I like AB amps that at least try to double their outbut at half the impedance.

BUT I have learned through experience that the Optidrives tend to perform a lot better than people expect, so hopefully the new amps will too.

I was looking at the opts600.4 - that one is definitely calling my name. I was going to get the opti 200.4 but it only does 200x4 at 2 ohm. Little extra oomph goes a long way.

Got in my 600.4, I'll be installing it this weekend and shooting up a review. It's actually 300x2@2 ohm. I'll keep you posted how the new Optidrive series are.

how is the OPTS600.4 towards destortion.

dose it realy put out what they claim ?

It's clean. Really clean. I am VERY VERY happy with the amp. As far as power, I'm guessing it's going to be damn close to 300 watts x 4 @ 2 ohm. It sounds night and day from my MA Audio amp. Now to fix my EQ's alternator whine...
