Anyone everheard of them? One of their subs has 36mm of xmax. Never heard of them, but their products look decent.

I have heard of them awhile back. I think this is the company a few engineers left from Zapco (or a company of the likes) and created.

Dunno though...

I haven't heard of them, have a link?

I'm always suspect of >25mm Xmax claims - it's more likely than not to be a peak-to-peak Xmax rating, or else an Xmech rating rather than a linear Xmax rating...
...and that's no longer 'apples to apples'. ;)

Polk rates their subs using Xmech - what good is that?
Oz rates their subs using P2P Xmax - looks twice as high as it should.
and those are just two examples of reputable companies.
:rolleyes:

ah, there is a link... sort of blended in with the signature below.
People always load those up with links... :p

Wow, I must say - I love the looks of their website. :cool:
They've done a really good job of making themselves look good, whatever the verdict may truly be on the products.

(sorry, I work in marketing/branding also :D )

a couple of dealers on another forum say the amps are actually solid performers (a long while back). the plastic-looking "x" around them is really aluminum. not familiar w/the subs though.
