The MD-SW2601 is a tiny amplifier, with the chassis measuring only 7” x 6” x 1.7”. But don’t let it’s diminutive dimensions deceive you, it packs a powerful punch. According the owner’s manual, it has power ratings of 200 watts at 4 ohms, and with as much as 400 watts into 1 ohm, yet priced under $150.00, this really is a Small Wonder.

We’ve all heard the old adage, “good things come in small packages”. Well, the folks at MD Sound are doing their best to make sure that notion also applies to car stereo amplifiers. They have a whole series of amplifiers devoted to providing plenty of power in a picayune package. Not surpris [ … ]

The Clarion WQ3010D is a 12” dual voice coil woofer, utilizing a stamped steel basket. The woofer is very nicely finished, with a spun aluminum look cone, although the cone you see is really a full diameter concave dustcap, and is actually formed of injection molded polypropylene, with the Clarion logo embossed in it.

Each year for the last 15 or so years, I have evaluated somewhere between 50 and 100 subwoofers per year. I’ve seen subs from virtually every brand, some of which are still going strong, while others are no longer in business. But no disrespect intended, when I think of a high performance su [ … ]
