Everest Sound labs 5k.....Just arrived!

[audioarsonal 10+ year member]

Alright guys! Its time to upgrade to some new power. My 4k's are beast, but old and a bit out dated. So I thought I would change it up, talked to the guys at ESL and hooked up with some new amps!!:nod: So I ordered one up to see how it performs. And I plan to add a second one in the near future.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

So it arrived yesterday in the mail. But I had to wait all day to get to see it. But when I got home I was greeted with a nice V-Day surprise.

Overall quality and craftsmanship looks nice. Its different then just about every other 5k I have seen (layout wise) and all things look very stout! Large wire beefy power supply torrid's,huge output filters, 24 input FET's. This thing is a tank!

On to some pics.....

Triple boxed FTW!!!

Pretty basic stuff so far.

I'll start easy...Don't want anyone to pre-*********!LOL

Now let's crack the case open:evil5: What is this....

Look at these power supply torrids!

Thick *** wire!(secondary)

Rail Caps...

Output filters..

All the critical parts are glued to the board to help prevent vibration damage.

And......Besides I have not seen one other 5k with this topology.

I have never even heard of this brand. Are they like aq pricing or sundown?

 

[audioarsonal 10+ year member]

Along the lines of Sundown. They aren't a internet direct company like say Crescendo or DC. They are focused on dealer based sales (ie brick and mortar) so I would rate them similar to Sundown or Incriminator from that stand point.
