lanman31337 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Anyone running the new 2009 series stuff? I just sold my 4 channel, and wanted to pick up one of the new Scion amps.

Ben Building Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 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.

lanman31337 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 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.

lanman31337 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 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.

lanman31337 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 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...
