Cadence cheater amp z5000 rated only 25w??

[@mattstarke7373]

Those old school Cadence amps were no joke. I am sure this one won't disappoint.

Those caps need to be replaced before they leak. Once they leak the board is pretty screwed.

I got to say, this was a goo one. I love seeing what the old cheaters can so🤘

Hated this amp. I used to compete against a guy that had 3 15's running off this amp. He had a cab cut out and a massive box in the bed of his truck. I was running 2 15's off an Orion amp rated 25x2 @ 4ohms. Got pretty loud, but he probably beat me by close to 3-4 db.

I bet i own the Orion you used to run. Is it😢t a 3rd gen 425HCCA Competition/X-over, pop top that when removed, has the crossover chips that can also be used to sum the boatds channels? I think the cards are SLF.

I have a big ugly amp that looks a bit like that. It's an Audiobahn A1300HCT and is a high-current design mono fullrange class A/B amp. Ratings are 300 @ 4, 600 @ 2 and 1200 @ 1, but falls way short, but it is big, heavy, ugly and chrome with stupid flames on it

[@bdaudio9395]

I’ll actually be posting a video on an audiobahn DUB in a few weeks so watch out for that

I have 3 of the Daytona Cadence Amps..

[@joshholden8561]

Two of those black big caps look like they were bulging

[@chuckholmes2075]

is that what BBC stands for?

[@joshholden8561]

Cadence amps was legends

[@beemackin2316]

Nice vintage 1

[@abruptlyblunt]

you didn't think it's strange that this is one of the few amps that has the board and components face up instead of down like almost every other amp made???

[@bdaudio9395]

No not really there are a lot of amps I’ve tested lately that are like this

[@keithhaynes5348]

Usually, those amps are considered a bad design. Heat rises, when they face up boards, they also flip the sink, which would hammer that sink. Thats what i thought anyways, but i dont design or work on amps.
