#xtant #ampdyno #caraudio
Throwing it back to the late 90's and this Xtant 1001dx graciously sent to me by Brantley Waites of Elite Audio in Lexington, SC. I've been wanting to test an Xtant amp for a while now and this 1000W monoblock seemed like the perfect one to try out.
Ratings are as follows:
250W at 4 ohms
500W at 2 ohms
1000W at 1 ohm
Regulated design 11-15VDC
Original MSRP: $1199
