We can keep this thread going, no problem at all, but testing is for now postponed for a bit - probably looking at mid-end December.

Sorry I jumped the gun! I hate it when this happens...
Safe travels brother!

Guys - "willing" to test about 5-6 amps (each amp takes about 3+ hours for testing and writing result), so "figure" it out here which ones

As we are more and more bridging 4 channels (which used to be a big no no), I will test - if I can! - the bridged mode as well...
I need to be careful as my powerbank is I recall 4 x 100W 8 ohm. so 4 ohm load would be 200W max
might order 4 more

Diamond Audio is the brand

Better than BT amps??? I am not qualified to answer that.

They are more adjustable and in some cases more cost effective depending on the build.

IMO...the BT4180 amp is the LS6 SS Chevelle of the sled amp world...one Bad Mother right off the show room floor. No tweeking, no tuning, just add gas and go fast.
