Product Brand & Model:
Biketronics BT4180 Hypex UCD180OEM based amps. These things are the best 12v amps that I have ever worked with, see my full review here:

These make [email protected] and [email protected] Run cool for hours and fit just about anywhere.

Brand new sealed in box with lifetime warranties.

$525 shipped/insured each in the USA via USPS Priority. Shipping discounts if you buy two or more.

Great little amps from the sounds of it. Surprised the Audiophile crowd isn't trying to argue that these can't sound good because they're not Class A and cost $$$$. LOL Very interested to see if these take off in the diy crowd.

Can't go wrong with lifetime warranty...unless there will be a hassle to claim it. Am sure that's why they are priced at 565.00 (too much, IMHO) so they can cover the replacement units 3-4x in the future if needed.

I sure would love to get my hands on one to test it for actual power....or send one to BigDWiz am sure he would want to test one...hope am not late, lol.

There is no hassle to claim the warranty, BT has just about the best service I have ever witnessed. One reason why they have such a cult following in the motorcycle community, they take very good care of their people.

Retail for the BT4180 is $585, not $565. When you factor in the module costs, case, input stage and PSU, building one DIY would likely be the same or more expensive. A similar Channel Islands amp with UCD180 modules is $2k and a Genesis amp with UCD modules is $10k. So not sure what you're basing your opinion on :)

Expensive yes. Hypex makes awesome sounding amps. UCD amps are some of the best I've heard. The Ncore amps are even more awesome!!! Now if they can apply the Ncores for car use:D

Yeah I see the Hypex modules are quite expensive...my bad. 92% efficiency is pretty awesome, and the size as well of course this is just the UcD180. Must require quite a large power supply to power up four modules/ch. I just can't see 740watts RMS from that thing...does it have a inline fuse what amperage rating?

Hey no worries, I'll check when I get home today. Also, to avoid this thread from getting sidetracked, feel free to take discussion regarding the amp to my review thread here: http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum...bt4180-amp-review-youve-all-been-waiting.html

Definitely, I would love to build some Ncores some day though I am told that the new UCD700HG with HXR chip added is an even better amp now. Funny how these have taken the home audio world by a storm but relatively unknown by the mobile electronics world.

so the group buy is going to net a savings of less than 60 bucks off the retail?

I figure it'll be less than 8 months before some enterprising chap in the Behringer/Cadence mold, takes the reverse engineering into mainland China and some really nice clones of the UcD modules makes it's way into the <$300 per four channel entries..


I mean, I get it. Gotta charge high while you're monopolizing the market but critical success will bring out the counterfeit artisans, who really don't care about intellectual property and all that...

I mean, if I could get a cloned BT4180 from Epsilon or Maxxtronics or AAMP or even, uBuy, for half the knickers I'd be okay with it...

and that's the market.

But Biketronics isn't worried, right?

I mean, anything that comes out looking like Tripath is a cautionary tale, waiting to happen...
Why not put this elsewhere and stop screwing with the man's for sale thread?

Otherwise I would love to try this amp out, seems too good to be true. But so was radio, and television, and gas powered vehicles, and nuclear energy, and cellphones, and every other electrical thing that has yet to exist :D
