Hello everyone,
Here's the latest and first success of my 220S audio experiments. I picked up a Pioneer GM-X262 amp this week. (one of the smaller 'Monster-Blaster' amps) It's rated at 40 W per channel, continuous, at 14.4V, 4 OHM, 20-20,000 HZ at 0.08% THD and
50 W per channel, continuous at 14.4V, 4 OHM, 20-20,000 HZ at 0.8% THD. (What's THD?)
I'm powering a pair of 2 way, 4 OHM 'cube' speakes rated at 50 W max. I'm feeding the headphone output from a Sony Walkman into the RCA input jacks on the Pioneer. Amp power is a 12 V car battery. It sounds pretty good, though at max Walkman volume some bass is lost. But it's loud enough I'm hoping I won't need max volume. I've been playing this rig in my living room for almost two hours at fairly loud volume. The amp gets warm but not quite hot. (No smoke or flames from the speakers, as warned about in the Pioneer instruction sheet!) One other observation, while playing, I get diagonal static bars on my channel 4 TV picture (I'm on rabbit ears)
Any ideas, suggestions, possible future problems with installing this in my car?
Thanks in advance.

Happy Motoring, Mark
