If the amp actually gets to his house (I may keep it) it will be running a set of M80's that I sold him many months back. Yes this is the one with the voltage meter on the front. Doesn't do much but it sure looks purty!

Wow. I've read the Sunfire amps can double their output into 4 ohms correct? If that's true then he's pushing 850 watts into his m80's. Double yikes. Tharkun, you sure you don't need a bigger amp? haha

Scary part is I think this thing can do it. It just never runs out of gas. I have been cranking music at close to 90db for the last hour with me going in and out of the room and the Sunfire is actually cool to the touch. I have heard they stay cool but this is bizzare.

Sounds like you're having a ball with "your" new toy. The amp's ability to stay cool is thanks to its extemely efficient design. Heat = wasted energy, so cool running is a great thing.

I'd be interested in the noise floor. I know these amps have lots of headroom, but from stuff that I have read, people say that the amps have a bit of a hiss when idle.

How much does it weigh? Sounds like a beast.

The Sunfire amps are not very heavy because of their "down tracking" power supplies.

I think it comes in at 40 pounds and I have heard about the hum that some claim these things have. All I can say to that is the one I have sitting here is dead quite. The auto trigger is very cool also. Instead of a 12 volt trigger, it senses an audio signal like a sub and wakes the amp up. It works better then I would have thought. I have yet to have an audio delay when I fire up my HK and play something. The Sunfire wakes up in no time and is off and running.

It really is a very nice amp.....................and I still can't get over the fact that this thing doesn't even get warm.

SOLD.......

I probably shouldn't even ask, as I am an impulsive spender, but what do they run - price wise?
