Looking for at affordable 4 Channel Class D Amplifiers for the Boat... (HSL600.4)

[iltww]

Guys...

Looking to upgrade my A/B amplifiers to some cooler running Class D amplifiers for the boat this summer.

I am looking at these and was wondering what you guys thought?

Are they really Class D amps?!?!

Also, anywhere to buy them other than e-bay. I think I need about 8 of them. (My boat and my bros..)

Good Question.

1. These will be on a Lake. (Not saltwater)

2. I want to run Class D for efficiency and Heat reasons. (I have A/B amps now...)

3. those amps cost double the amount of the HSL's...

Look up VIBE Audio Litebox amplifiers, They are Class G/H (class A/B sound quality) with the efficentcy of a Class D. Very small and Very affordable.

These are designed by Robert Zeff of Zapco/Arc Audio these Vibes are an excact clone of the Arc Mini amplifiers.

never heard of the HSL's could be crap amps, the ones i listed are name brand quality amps

How many speakers are you running that you need 8 amps

The vibes are gonna be a much better amp. Remember you get what you pay for. If you want crap, then buy all means buy crap.

Liteboxes are sweet, heard nothing but good things about em.
