I've partly done a small deep dive because I came across an amp line that's cosmetically perfect for my install... I even already have some of this mesh on hand to use in my install:
Thought it looked cool, but also integrates with my car:
I've been shopping for compact amps, and came across these - which I think could look killer on top of an under-glass hatch floor amp rack whose floor would be a sandwich of 1/2" clear acrylic and that black mesh, with the lower chamber backlit with red LEDs:
I've also just ordered all the supplies to make my own custom RCAs including some fancy plugs, to route cables in the amp rack to the millimeter. These amps have RCA jacks right on board which would look much cooler than some of my other, potentially higher end options.
If I could have an RF T750x1bd and two RF T400x4ad that looked like these I'd do it. Not that the RF don't look good, but the RCA dongles are going to take extra work and extra space to make look nice.
The thing is - these things are almost cheap enough to impulse buy and try... but I can't discount my installation time and materials either, for the amp rack, routing, making cables, etc. All would be throwaway if they are crap.
Anyway - what I can find:
These amps are a new product line owned by DS18 that's supposed to be a "higher end" product according to their marketing, but that doesn't make sense because the prices are downright cheap. Who knows what "higher end" means to a company like DS18? I suspect DS18 is a brand from south America, with all their horns and pro-audio-emulating drivers... the fact that they sell a remote for their equipment that can work for up to 1.8 miles away - that doesn't exactly say "SQ"
I was thinking maybe they share the guts with the DS18 Candy line, because the dimensions look similar and I would expect a company like this to possibly do parts sharing like that.... but that's just a hypothesis based on nothing, and it's equally possible that they could be a de-tuned version as much as they could be an up-tuned version, even if there was truth to my guess.
They claim 0.1% THD - who knows if that's accurate, if that's full range or just at 1Khz...
Oh, how a part of me wishes they'd be good, matching that cosmetic...
