Tru Technology Amps

[Trav33]

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.

[Chris Rogers]

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?

[Chris Rogers]

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 .

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)!

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

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

Nupe i will be speaking to the distributor to get me some of the latest Tru amps actually Trav .

And the Supra will be getting started a lot sooner than i thought.

Yeh good one Marty, take a bloody stab at me will ya aye .

[Adelaideprosound]

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.

[Adelaideprosound]

Ok length is 450mm, and the width is 270mm.

Good luck .

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.

[Adelaideprosound]

Well perhaps its easier if u have the amp and then worry about flush fitting. Because even though i give u the depth dimensions now it can still be way off to do it before u have it.

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

[Adelaideprosound]

Thats cool man, i was joking anyway .
