JK.

Tim's alright, even if he is from TEXAS....

[wetsounds1]

Phil, you can let the cat out of the bag and let everyone know your rocking some Wet Sounds too! J/K HAHAHA

Geez Tim, with friends like you, who needs enemies....

[Super B]

Tim,

Do you have an idea when the Icon8's will be shipping out?

Thanks!

Jim????

Supporting the competition? In your hometown even? I thought we were friends....

I still have and will keep using Kickers as in boat speakers as well as the amps. My in boat and sub sounds amazing.

I hope you clearly know I was being completely tongue-in-cheek.

Despite the competition, Tim and I are pretty good friends.

Wanted to make sure it was two guys laughing and smiling....

New Sinister Series Amps

I think its ok to post this info now.

"Wet Sounds Sinister series of marine amplifiers represent the pinnacle in 12 volt amplifier design. The highest power to size amplifiers anywhere in the world for car or marine use. Utilizing advanced full range class D power supplies with a patent pending transformer design to deliver power output formerly unheard of in a small sized sealed amplifier. The Sinister amplifiers share one size full cast aluminum chassis for all models making installation a breeze and the ability to have a clean install. All Sinister amplifiers feature a fully conformal coated 4 layer pcb board, single side power, speaker and input section, and top mounted controls with removable cover. Sinister amplifiers have a back lit Wet Sounds shield logo with selectable illumination for red, white or blue that can be mounted horizontally or vertically for flexible amplifier placement. Other features include high pass/low pass/full range crossovers, flexible inputs source selection for single or multiple RCA channel input, RCA pass through on 4ch and 2ch, and removable speaker plugs that accept large gauge wire. The Sinister amplifiers are not only extremely powerful but also intelligent with a built in microprocessor controller for overvoltage protection, under voltage protection, DC offset and speaker short protection, as well as thermal rollback to ensure consistent play in the harsh marine environment. One of the most amazing aspects of the Sinister amplifiers design is the efficiency rating. All sinister amplifiers achieve their efficiency rating at full 4 ohm rated power, the 6 ch is 82%, the 4ch is 84% and the 2 ch is 86%. This translates into less current draw and less generated heat. Over twice that of a conventional class AB amplifier and more efficiency than any other Class D amplifier."

SD6:
Stereo @ 4 ohms 6 x 185 Watts
Stereo @ 2 ohms 6 x 290 Watts
Bridged @ 4 ohms 3 x 585 Watts

SD4:
Stereo @ 4 ohms 4 x 185 Watts
Stereo @ 2 ohms 4 x 340 Watts
Bridged @ 4 ohms 2 x 685 Watts

SD2:
Stereo @ 4 ohms 2 x 400 Watts
Stereo @ 2 ohms 2 x 620 Watts
Bridged @ 4 ohms 1 x 1250 Watts

That's crazy power!

How much is the sd 6. And on their website I thought they were called hydro tech

[strohlde]

I'm gonna guess it's gonna wind up north of $1k

From Wakeworld:

Secrets out! The sinister amps have been 2 1/2 years in the making. They are a complete ground up design and unlike any amplifier on the market and unlike any amplifier to date. (shawn the arc ks600.2 is a class G/H. Sinister amps are full range class D, they do not share anything with another amp anywhere in the world)

We set out to build not only the most power output, but high power with high end sound quality, small form factor (13.5x9.8x2.5), completely sealed design, extreme efficiency, flexibility, easy installation and set up etc..All amps are the same footprint so makes for a clean amp rack. All amps can be mounted horizontal or vertical as the bakc lit badge un screws and will bolt in either orientation, single side connections, top mounted crossover controls. Side panels that are raised so center of the amp is spaced off allowing the amp to stay cooler and also so you can run wire under it and not have to put rubber spacers or make feet. Plus they are true marine and fully coated boards. The boards are 4 layer boards! Other cool things for the gadget guys is the patent pending transformer design. When we first started designing this amp. The output devices were not causing the heat but the power transformer was, as this is a lot of power in a small size amp. And completely sealed. So the transformer is now woven in a way that increases it’s efficiency so it can create the power but not the heat. Resulting in an increase in overall efficiency on the amplifier. We also take it a step rather and through bolt the transformer to a backing plate into the amp chassis so the amplifier heat sinks works to cool not only the output devices but the transformer as well.

I could go on and on about them! Costs will be in the $1000 to $1200 range

Brett, yes you can run the amp just about anyway you can think of. On the 6 ch, so yes on The way you described with 2 pairs of in boats on chs 1-2, 2 pairs of towers on 3-4 and sub bridged on 5-6. But what is even cooler, you could run 3 or 4 pairs of coaxs on chs 1-2. So don’t limit it to thinking just two pairs. If you series the back two pair and then paralleled the bow together. You would still net out over 50 watts to each coax. I normally don’t like mixing series and parallel as the amplifier splits its power across so many speakers but with the Sinister having so much power, you can do it and still have really good power. You could run the REV 3-Some in 3 ch mode. You could run 3 subs. A pair of REV 410 and a sub. On the 4 ch, tons of power to in boats. Bridged on the REV 410!! Couple subs. 4 REV 8 or ICON 8. On the 2 ch, pair or two pairs of REV 10. XXX sub at 4 ohm mono. And so on.

I will get some pictures up when we can and update on availability. It will be about 60 days or more. Speaking of amplifiers and full range class D. We also have the Hydro Tech amplifiers shipping in about a week. These are all really cool and stuffed with fun tech stuff too. They are too a ground up design. The HT-6 is 110x6, HT-4 is 110x4, HT-2 is 165x2 and HT-1 is a 600x1 mono block. The multi channel amps are also full range class D. They are in the $400 to $550 range. Fully sealed, rubber gasket crossover controls, end cap covers, snap on feet to raise the amps up, horizontal or vertical placement with back lit badge orientation, full conformal coated pcb, removable speaker plugs and power plugs, accent pieces that you could paint with the end caps too, and small size and footprint. You can see pics of these on our main page of our site on the top graphic.

Feel free to hit me up with any questions on the tech.

The Hydro series is still coming, hope to be dropping soon. The Syn series is staying around, except for the Syn-1. No longer really needed with the release of the new xxxV2 sub and Sinister series amps. So this will be three high efficiant marine amp lines

I just learned yesterday that my local dealer was the 3rd dealer to sign up with Wetsounds, they've been with them a looong time!
