Strength:

This guy had around eight 12 inch Crossfire subs (500 watts each)and 8 Crossfire amplifiers, and made an SPL of 166.5dB. And Iv'e seen JL Audio Subwoofers with only 5 JL Audio 15W3's (400 Watts each) and made a record of 174.3 dB!! I couldn't imagine how good quality subwoofers does do make difference. Going back to the JBL GT1241D, this is to me the best cheap priced high quality subwoofer outhere. Hollywood Mobile Mechanic

Model Reviewed: Xtant 403a (Refubrished)

Strength:

Built quality, Sound Quality, Looks, Power, Features, Doesn't need a lot of power (60 Amps), the amp sounds so good you dont need an equalizer.

Weakness:

Stainless steel with mirror finish can get scratched very easily, so you have to be careful with it! but hey! this is a fine piece of equipment, so is worth it.

By far, this is the best sounding amp i have ever seen, i knew of Xtant's reputation, but even so, it was more than i expected. The amp is rated 2X50@4Ohm + 1X100@4Ohm, and the double of that at 2 Ohms, but it's way, way underrated, im pushing 2 sets of Infinity Reference 6000cs, and a Diamond Audio 12" DVC Subwoofer, everything at 2 Ohms and it pounds like crazy! the sound quality is amazing, you cant believe how loud it can go with that sound quality. I paid 155 USD for it since is refubrished, it's a steal! it costs about 700 USD MSRP, and it has 1 year warranty, its a win-win situation.

Model Reviewed: Used 1999

Strength:

They are VERY clear, Natural Sound, Very flat responce which helps, less need for 31 band eq's for RTA. Beats all amps i have heard so far.

Weakness:

Get very warm when not being pushed, but they will cool down when played loud.

My current System consists of 3 Xtant 302a's and 1 Xtant 1000DX. The system is purely SQ. I am running a pioneer DEX-P1R with its active crossover enabled (Bi-amping front components.) I have Focal 165k2's in the front. they are bi-amped by the Xtants. 1 302a is for both Focal tweeters (75x2) and then 1 302a per Focal Mid Range. (300x2) and then 2 Focal 33v2 subs on a 1000dx amp. The amps DO get very hot when they are not pushing much power, the louder the amps run the cooler they run. but other than that the amps are very natural and have great imaging, they are not The warmest amp, but they help keep the sound realistic. and clean and VERY loud, best amp i have used for the money, the only amp i would upgrade to is a zapco c2k series amp stereo system.

Strength:

Clear, Crisp and Natural sounding. Great Imaging and Soundstaging. Beautiful and Sexy with the Chrome Shroud.

Weakness:

Runs hot BUT NEVER SHUTTED DOWN ON ME. Couldnot obtain the specified fuse in Malaysia.

This is my first Xtant Amp and I have it powering a set of CDT HD-62DTM Component Speakers for my fronts. The CDT''''s itself are an amazing set of components and coupled with the Xtant, the imaging and soundstage was awesome. It not only met but exceeded my expectations. Clean, clear and natural sounds were literally dancing out of it. I only have 2 worries. The first is the amp runs pretty hot and I was told that is Xtant''''s characteristics, BUT it never quitted on me even when I go for long drives (6 hours or more) and playing it continously. Amazing. I would definitely say that one can''''t go wrong with Xtant. the second is that strangely enough, I cannot obtain an external 50amp fuse for it in Malaysia.

For SQ, I have not heard anything better that this amp. Very accurate, clean, detail and controlled. Those are the things you ask for SQ. This amp delivers. I used to be a PPI guy for SQ. Not anymore. This amp is excellent

Strength:

Very clean and powerful. Beautiful polish finsh. 4 year warranty! :-)

Weakness:

Highly recommended that you have the amp installed by an authorized Xtant dealer to take advantage of the 4 year warranty or eles its either 90 days or a year! Pay the extra Bling$$$, Bling$$$ and get it done right the first time!

When I first got this amp I honestly did not like it! It took awhile getting used to non fading rear channel. And being surprised with all kinds of options, like rear channel resistor modules and other expansion modules! Bling$$$, Bling$$$. But once I got pass the unexpected Bling$$$, Bling$$$ hurdles I was loving it.

Cleaner sound than my PPI's - yeah I still have my PPI's from '98 for back up!
