n_maher Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 This one is for all you speaker guys. I figured that most of you don't venture over the Headwize very often and honestly, this thing is so freakin' over the top that I just had to post it here. This amp will debut at the Norcal meet this weekend and holy heck I wish I could be there to see it. Project Development Thread: Click Here And hopefully Ti won't mind if I link to just a few of his images in this thread. Honestly, it's one of the most impressive builds that I've ever seen.

n_maher Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Wow that looks amazing It's power output is equally as impressive: 170W+ in 8ohm, 320W+ into 4ohm, before clipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 That's going to be a long one. Hope you can get it in the mail for the meet k thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxx Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 It looks better than most commercial amps. I was tracking Ti's progress for awhile, but kind of forgot recently. I just thought it looked so damn cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkam Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I wonder what the parts cost is on that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I wonder what the parts cost is on that thing. Rough estimates are north of a grand, however Ti's example cost a lot more than that. I'd budget at least 2 grand, probably more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recstar24 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I wonder what the parts cost is on that thing. I believe someone on the DIY thread on HF bareboned it at $1200. Ti's proto with its really nice chassis and I believe he went overboard on some parts probably exceeds that easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrion Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 That's a beauty. I'm looking forward to hearing reports from NorCal. Nate is it too late to cancel my 8 case quadrupled menace and switch to this? If it is too late, no problem. The new custom title sure beats "Spammer". Thanks!

n_maher Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Paging penguin, paging penguin. I want it to match my beta22. Thx. Jack, in all seriousness if anyone asked me to build this thing for them they'd better be prepared for price tag in the high four figures (decimal points need not apply). It is massively complicated, has an extremely high parts density (easy to frack up) and absolutely requires a tank of a chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 He's saying the balancing scheme in the b24 follows a nelson pass patent. It's an overarching patent tho. I think this design is fairly unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Care to elaborate? well, the patent in question is "super-symmetry" and there's a lot of ink spilled on it. amb did the right thing and got permission from Nelson and all is good in the hood. I was just being snarky / a NP-fanboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 If I had the cashola I'd shell out for an X1000.5. That's bragging rights right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
