BWA-HAHAHAHA Bass is here!

Post by Typrus »

Finally got an amp for my twin 10 inch subs!
It kicks HARD.... REALLY hard...

Image

Amp on choice - 1200watt (@1 ohm) mono-block Super D-Class HIFONICS Brutus. I had to parallell the subs, as they are 8 ohms a piece, but the amp still smacks out 485 watts or so at 4 ohms.

More sophisticated opinion.
Depending on what you listen to, if you vary the Bass "Boost" just right, it can actually beautifully fill out the empty lower end of your musics spectrum, especially in a system with 4 and 5.25 inch speakers. For instance- Listening to Linkin Park Meteora, I turned the lead up SLIGHTLY from 0db and it sounded amazing. The lows COMPLEMENTED the highs, not pulverized. Listening to DJ Lasgo's Alone, with it all the way up, my head wanted to burst. If you balance it just right, it is really a wonderful sound.

Cool amp
The thing is literally cool. I drove the subs hard for 5 minutes straight and the amp didn't even show a sign of warming.
It has these cool lights on top- neon blue- spelling HIFONICS. Nice advertising. That and neon-blue definitly does it for me. Too bad the cops get angry if you have much of it. Or neon red.. or green... Bloody police grabbed all the cool colors...

You know, now that I have the X-Trail for 4WDing, I might turn the Tercel into a rolling speaker box...

I do like the amp. Very cool :)

And I was just looking at some of our threads. One of mine had 40 views for 4 posts. Bugger me, we've got some lurkers :)

Lateer - off the subject, but...
Well, I have just spent a few minutes on several fascinating sites - I was curious
as to the meaning of the verb phrase at the beginning of your last sentence
(actually, I thought I knew...).
I happened on a number of places exposing Australian (OK to write Aussie?)
slang phrases. Fascinating - and I thought we Yanks had some doozies* !

Bugger:
British & Australian English. Crude. To perform the penetrative role in sexual intercourse. Has recently (last 30 years) acquired the specific connotation of anal sex.

The phrase "Bugger Me" is a Britishism roughly analogous to the American english "Fuck Me", expressing surprise, rather than any desire for sexual penetration on the speaker's part.

From what I can glean of the phrase's modern usage, the British version lacks "Fuck Me"'s implication of disgust with one's self or one's actions.

Even further off topic:-

Bugger here in Oz doesn't have the nastiness of the other comment.

It's one of those phrases that's sorta semi-polite. It's generally an epithet of surprise, rather than disgust, as you mentioned.

The use of Bugger on it's own can be for slight surprise, slight disgust, slight enjoyment, etc.

There was a major advertising campaign using the word in various forms for Toyota to promote the Hilux. I wonder if we can find some...

Kinda like "Bloody" here in the USA is a merely an adjective, or if one watches Masterpiece Theater, a pissed-off Brit. But my impression has been that it is at least a border-line epithet in the UK; what about the Dominions?

Bugger me, you found it :)
The other one I was thinking of had a young bloke sent by a builder to get topsoil, a couple of planks and a load of bricks. He then forgets to put the handbrake on and careens down a hill, through a fence, etc, etc, etc, ending up back at the site with the bricks, the topsoil and the planks.

But anyway, that shows you exactly what I meant :)
