JBL 'Crown' A6000GTi - Thats a HUGE b*

Dr Zeus · 02:13 AM

My goodness! You absolutely had to see to believe this monstrosity. I saw and touched this thing in person at a local 12v amp repair shop here in Atlanta.

Yes thats a measley dollar bill sitting on top of it. The value of this amp is anywhere from $1000 to $4000. Its about 2 x 3 feet x 6 inches in absolute girth and takes two people to lift.

its supposedly 'rated' to 6000 x 1, but the repair guy said it is likely closer to about 15,000w. The transformer is the size of a small pizza, and there were so many transistors inside that I lost count after about 75.

Unfortunately I wasnt able to grab this sucker; its brain guts and protection circuit needed repair. and the repair guy was still having "at it". I'll probably try and get it next time as he felt like not wanting to spend his days figuring it out. Bummer!

Happy drooling!

That's totally not necessary. I don't even want to know what the subs looked like that would handle 15kW. Unless that was an amp for the front stage

(Not my picture, but kinda funny)

Sub? Try like a dozen subs. And I agree. I'm very happy with my measly 400w running to my single 10".

Evening Dr. Zeus, looks like you found your Jiggawatts amp

I actually know someone that won one of these as a door price at a gear show some years back when they were new on the seen. He sold as I recall

I would have hung it on a wall somewhere myself. Somethings just are either too big or too once in a lifetime to actually put into use. For me this one of those things.
It would make a nice hanging ornament in a amp repair shop. maybe with a sign hanging over it saying something like "and your worried about your repair bill"...lol lol lol...

I run a single 12 for my daily car, just so happens to be a hcca 12.2 on a 2500d

seen the internal pics in ampguts. the parts are massive. more at home in a power plant or something.

I could deal with having the power but its totally impractical size wise and would get very tiring to see in the car all the time, lol. It would basically demand everyone's attention, kind of like always saying "look at me... look at me"
