Has anyone got any plans for a car amp?

hi, i was just wondering if anyone has got any plans for a car amp, the amp would need high level input and able to produce enough power to run two 12" subs. (the subs are 8ohms, but i can run them in series).


thanks
 
Yeah that first link is rockin
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.


I'd love to have a quad of military (thick tubed) KT90's in the back of my future-Jeep.

Goes to show those beach huggers where tubes can REALLY go 😛 Tho technically tube huggers are beach huggers too, in a much more accurate way we're obsidian, granite, diorite, and sandstone huggers, but that's a whole new kettle of fish. 🙂
 
Although when I think about it I reckon a cluster of generic 6GW8'S or 6BM8's could do good in a car arrangement.

It depends upon if anyone would be interested in 10% distortion and considerably more in quad arrangement lol 😛 (if it could be done)

I think 6L6-GC's would be more suited to the task as the NOS ones are low-profile sorta.

There wouldn't be really any point at having rather detailed and expensive speakers in a car unless you intend upon soundproofing it to the extreme and then some, especially for small match-box cars that have you driving so close to the road that you could have sworn you just heared it touch! 😀 They're fun tho 😛
