  It is nice to see that you have a copy of the speaker builder magazine hiding back on your bookshelf. Not too many people know about the magazine existence.<br>I my self still have over 80 issues of the magazine, that I read now and then.<br>Keep up the videos, &nbsp;you are surely one of the few DIY speaker builders that on the internet.<br>Kevin<br>Former Engineer at International Jensen Inc.<br>Advent, AR, Jensen, NHT, Phase Linear

  Mine is arriving tomorrow. I was inspired by your small cube build - grabbed a 7&quot; epique and pairing it with two of the matching 7&quot; PRs that just landed. Think it will all make it into a 10&quot; box.

  How would that amp work with a driver ratted

  That main transformator is a switching power supply, like a laptop one. That’s why it is small and light.

  I own three of these and all are excellent. One is used with a 15&quot; subwoofer and is wired for a 2-ohm load into this Dayton plate amp...no issues. Pushes that 15&quot; hard. (Skar Audio VFX-15 D4 wired for 2-ohms). I used another to replace a dead plate amp on my Klipsch SPL-120 and another on a 10&quot; subwoofer DIY project.

  Williston Audio Labs tested the output and it was about 275 watts RMS at 1% distortion at 4 ohms. &nbsp;The amp is actually rated 300 watts at 1.5% distortion, so it more-or-less delivers the stated power. &nbsp;It also had a bit of dynamic headroom, delivering about 360 watts. &nbsp;That&apos;d be pretty normal for a class A/B amp, but class D amps often have no headroom at all, so all-in-all, it&apos;s a good package.<br><br>I have a pair of these amps driving two Dayton Reference HF 10&quot; subwoofers and I&apos;m happy. &nbsp;The only thing I&apos;d change is the input sensitivity - most subwoofer amps have more gain than this - and for my particular setup, I had to turn the gain almost all the way up to level match it with the main speakers.

  I guess the amp will be used in a project with that 8&quot; reference HO sub? :)
