The SS TN4.900 is my favorite all around amp. After all my high dollar amps I've purchased over the years the TN4.900 remains at the very top of my list. The cost benefit and reliability can't be beat!

Ok.. I'm guessing you lined the inside of your lid grills with the cloth?

Passengers will benefit greatly, but you will too. You'll have to fade back to the rears +3 or +4 to take full advantage.

Gannicus, would you mind explaining the term thumping?
Pardon my ignorance
I think I know what it means, but I'm not 100% sure.

When guys such as Gann, Haze, Ultranutz all speak highly of an audio product I listen.

Those gentlemen have forgot more about mobile audio then I'll ever know.

Yes that amp thumps!!!!!

The TN4.900 is a very warm amp with good SQ and pretty darn good output wattage. It pumps out really good bass. In comparison an HDP4 cost 3-4 times as much has better SQ, slightly better output but no where near the same amount of bass. Really it comes down to pairing the right speakers with the right amps. With what Lou has it must sound fantastic.

Time for that video Lou!!
