Outlaw 7900 in the house

[lanion]

It is really freaking heavy.

[Dennis Gardner]

Nice review.......:rolleyes: :)

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAA

This must be one of the funniest posts of the day!!!!

Nice review.......:rolleyes: :)

LOL :D

[janmike]

Show us what it is made of!

It is really freaking heavy.

Maybe Ill purchase one to add to my workout routine as the dumbells at the gym only go up to 70lbs ;)

[wingnut4772]

Wow! Sounds like a great amp. I think I'll get one!:D


C'mon! Elaborate. Pics. Don't leave us hanging.

[Sherardp]

Count me in on one, pics bro and more pics. Doesnt that beast use dual power cords?

Missing the Earthquake already?

[appadv]

Wow! Would love to have an amp like that!

[shadowofnight]

Get that sucker opened up....a naked amp is a thing of beauty...I looked at the website...they have a small teaser pic of it opened up...looks awesome.

Website shows 2 power inlets...2 toggle switches for power...what a beast :D

was also talked about here a few month's back. :)

my favorite quote from their ad.

"So powerful that it needs dual 15A breakers, this state-of-the-art behemoth takes no prisoners when it comes to turning your favorite soundtracks into life-changing experiences. This all new fully balanced power amplifier uses 24 output transistors per channel to deliver an astounding 7x300 watts per channel, all channnels driven! Our most advanced design ever."

If Outlaw had released 300 watt monoblocks like my 2200's (200 Watts) I would have bought 7 of those first.

I see She will do 300x7@8ohms what dose she do a 4ohms? 600x7? That thing is a beast. I'll have to stick with my Little Wimpy Sig.7 Sunfire due to my back not being able to pick that big Biotch up into my rack... LoL

450@4 ohm. Not as impressive as it may seem....

[shadowofnight]

450@4 ohm. Not as impressive as it may seem....

Not at all...I would have thought 600x7 easily as well....:(

[Shannon W.]

Man I would have thought that something that took two power cords would have at least double in power when you start dropping the ohms to it.. We seen the power output but whats the current & voltage output?
Hell my little one power cord having Sunfire will do 400x7@8, 800x7@4 & (here is the big one) 1600x7@2. LoL
Oh and the max output current is 120 amperes Peak to peak per channel, Maximum voltage output is 57vrms. on the little (fire box) LoL :)

Shannon

[Silverti]

The 2200's are rated at 200 @ 8 and 300 @ 4.

[cfrizz]

Our Sunfires don't put out wimpy sound & that is all that matters!:D

I retract my statement, this amp has at least 200 watts, so it is good to go :)

Well, Scott from Outlaw seemed to indicate that the lack of a power doubling stat was just playing with numbers on some companies behalf. I am not sure how true that is, but the amp sounds good so far. Anyway, the idea of a 1:2 ratio between 8 ohms and 4 ohms at any given value is incorrect.

On a side note, they don't list 4ohm specs because at full load. But it is theoretically 450 watts/channel.

From the website: "In fact, the Model 7900 is so powerful, we’re not technically “allowed” to rate this amplifier with 4-ohm speakers under an all channels driven load. Its 450 WPC of output at this impedance will demand 26 amps of combined current draw, technically exceeding the accepted current draw margin for dual 15-amp breakers!"


I will post pics soon, but I don't have a proper processor for it yet for my HT. I have a DPR 1001 which is a very nice digital reciever, but is not high current and the pre-outs on it are terrible -- I just jumped on the trade show deal. However, in my two channel system it certainly sounds good.

If anyone in NC with comparable amp wants to challenge it, I am up for a fight!

Damn, too far away. I would love a 2 channel shoot off.

Ian, at the end of the day, if you like the sound and are happy with the purchase, than the specs mean nothing.

I do not get the "we are not allowed to post 4 ohm power rating" thing. It probably has to do with the Sherwood licensing deal, as the Outlaw is the "entry level" brand of the exact same product. But Scott is a good guy I have spoken with many times. Enjoy.

Very nice amp, to be sure, but

"In fact, the Model 7900 is so powerful, we’re not technically “allowed” to rate this amplifier with 4-ohm speakers under an all channels driven load.

sounds a little bit like ..... uhm ..... horse hockey.

;)

[wingnut4772]

Not yet. It ships out next week. If I ever get the HT running again I will get one used or check out Anthem or Parasound.

[lanion]

Well, the 7900 is up and running the L, Right, and Center channels.... my reciever is running the rears, simply because the outputs to the rears have a lot of static for some reason. Anyway, sounds fantastic. Big improvement over the 7125.

PIcs..pics...PICS...picks.........P.I.C.K.SSZZZZ



I wanna see the behemoth
