Wait... Are you trying to say that 50 cent actually has fans? :nono :

Haha Just kidding of course :bigwink: or am I? :surprised

Seriously though, my friend bought a lightning audio amp to replace his jensen amp, dare I say it was a downgrade? Heh, he paid like 100.00+ for his lightning audio at wal-mart... It's powering a 12" sony in a modified house sub box, there is no hope for him. :help:

reminds me of the pioneer commercial with the guy shaking the bridge... classic!

I think it'd be funny to make an AVI of some guy getting into his car and cranking up the stereo, and having the whole car shake.. and have the fenders fall off, then have a door fall off, and the hood slide off of the car... have the whole thing fall apart..




then have him get out, walk over to the installer, and ask how he can get "more bump"

too much fitty cent on an amp with the gains at 100%.. haha
actually... "gatman" has claimed quite a few subs.

dam thing goes down to something like 25-28hz... + its a really odd beat

So your sayin the amp is blown buy some guy who really likes 50 cent?

:thumbsup

Sorry couldnt resist that joke

My 225-SX fans have a fan from neccessity, but generally I'm not a fan of any active cooling.
fans are cheaply made and fail often. The problem with this is when companies design an amp to rely on those cheaply made fans, and they do fail, you usually wind up with a blown amplifier as a result of a 50 cent fan.

I just got it by way of UPS and it has a fan in the front, they call it a "cooling turbine", lol. My arc amp doesn't even have a fan :tongue009 Not sure why a 250 watt amp needs a cooling fan, but hey it was less than $30 so I'm happy, just as long as it works.

by GlassWolf » Wed Apr 27, 2005 2:27 pm

eh, hey for $23, why complain? I don't generally suggest Lightning amps at MSRP costs, but for that price, it's a pretty solid amplifier. Ask 71buick, he works for the parent company of Lightning Audio. He can tell ya all about that amp.
