I picked up my Rainbow splits today, and spoke to APS about what the best amp to drive them would be, for under $1k.

George showed me a Tru Technology beast, 4x100W, made in the USA.

Anyone had experience with Tru Tech stuff?

I did a search on SAU, not much mention - but on caraudioaustralia they have a good rep.

he told me your would do this... just buy the thing!

cleutin has the right idea. that thing will absolutely HAMMER! (and sound great doing it.)

Hehe, thats funny. When i asked him if Tru Tech had a web site, George got pretty passionate - he was saying just trust me! Are many Tru Tech amps floating around, or are they a rare item?

there are a few. that said they are somewhat rare. DAMN good SQ amp though. get that one set the speakers up properly and you could well have a trophy.

Oh wow.

By setup, you mean good sound deadening, (including the use of Dynaxorb behind the drivers), good positioning of the tweeter, and good tuning of the system?

I'm starting to wonder if my carputer soundcard may be the weak link in all of this, and might let me down with sound quality.

Cleutin u were right on the money there :D.

Trav as i said that amp retails at $1499. I am giving it to you for a $1000. Thats a darn good price to start with.

And TRU TECH i will stand by what i said, trust a specialist that knows what he is talking about :).

I was right about Rainbow, lets see if i can get 2 out of 2 :).

We use Tru-Technology amplifiers here and they come highly recommended by us. :)

If you're interested, I just tested and reviewed the TT Billet 4.75. The review is in the latest addition of INCAR magazine so grab a copy on the way to APS when you pick up your new TT amp - you will not be dissapointed (with the amp I mean)! :D

George, you haven't got another quiet week at work coming up have you???!!! :P

Also, i know you are going to run with some nice Rainbows in your Supra, will you use a Rainbow amp to drive them?

Oh and Trav I can always make time if u need something done.

Can you please post the measurements of the Tru Tech in your cabinet? ie width x depth x also the height.

I'd like to look at how i'll mount it, possibly vertically, but inset so it is flush with the vertical wall.

I know you can make the time.... but i gotta make the money first!

Do you know the "height" of the amp too, so i know how much i'd need to offset it for a flush finish? I'm guessing 44mm.

Nah you misinterpreted my post. I meant he might be disappointed with my review but not the amp when he gets it off you. :)

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
