    20 years ago I wired up a Sony XM-2020 small 2 channel amp on my ATV. It powered a couple of small outdoor speakers and for the signal source, I used a cordless XM radio receiver that had a headphone outlet. I sealed the amp up with silicon and never had a problem with it. That is with having my ATV completely submerged while running through a creek!!
    It is nice to see manufacturers putting out more options for “marine” use electronics!! Especially with bigger options that put out good power too.

    I would be very interested in seeing a Wet Sounds amp to see if they make their rated power. They’re obnoxiously expensive for average equipment that I question will make their rated power based on fusing.
    Marine audio market is horrible for the most part. Over priced, under performing crap from JL and Wet Sounds dominates the market. All you hear on the lake and on the trails is 60hz and above from a bunch of HLCDs running off clipped signals. Good on Sundown though for keeping that price to performance ratio where it should be. Refreshing to see. Wish Taramps would get into the marine market.

    I'm running a Memphis PRXA 1000.1 monoblock on 2 kicker CVX 12" dual 4 ohm DVC subs wired to 2 ohms each. Then bridged down to a 1 ohm load on the amp. Thing barely gets warm.

      @@wal When I have compared digital to class A/B amps, the difference in bass quality is noticeable. I have yet to hear a Digital bass amp that sounds better than an A/B. I have been doing this since the 90s, and owned some of the first Digital amps to hit the scene. The power is always there, but just doesn't sound as good. The cleanest bass has always come form high damping rated ones. Like the Zapco AG750, old school us amps, and now the Mosconi Zero 1. Back to back testing shows a clear audible difference in between the best Digital, vs the best A/B. was even obvious to non audiophile types. I swear these manufacturers would rather sell cheaper digital hardware, that consumes less power over inefficient A/B stuff. Just like we have standardized testing for power, maby we a properly standardized metric for damping.
