Anyways, just picked up a CT Sounds 1400 and can't wait to hook it up later. I read a lot of stuff about CT Sounds but was told as long as it's not Paul Kim's then it should be fine, there's also 1 year warranty no questions asked so it's all g double o-d good. Also, just picked up some old school round solo barics as well. Very excited.

Sad thing it's still built by Paul Kim just sold under the CT Sounds brand name.

So Coleman still gets his amps built from Paul? Anyways, I'll hook it up later and see how this amp runs. I've been hearing a lot of bad stories about CT's but hopefully this one doesn't crap out.

The blowing issue ct had was only woth the bigger amps. I ran an at 1200 (same as ct 1400 different name) and they are pretty solid amps. Never had any problems out of mine.

Thanks...I read somewhere on SMD forum the other day that it only occurs with the bigger amps as well.

The 4k and 7k are only 3k ish and 5k ish amps, it was horribly overrated and people setting gains with the dmm was using the rated numbers and basically death by clipping. Not user error, its more of coleman error. Paul kim even says they were not meant to do the numbers coleman rated them for.

Wow, so Paul Kim is legit then. I guess Coleman overrated the higher CT amplifiers. So are they still working together?

U have it backwards... The Paul Kim amps have the protect feature in them..

The Coleman ct sounds ones don't have the protect features and can blow if u don't know what your doing. The 7k has no board surport. I've seen lots of ppl run ct sounds and no problems and I've seen lots of ppl run ct sounds and have nothing but problems. Poof white smoke

Ok, well as of now it will be powering two old school round solo's so it should be fine and it's only a 1400.1D.
