    Though I will say the way the video ended really threw me off, vid just abruptly ends at the end of the .8 ohm dynamic run without warning. Still a great video! I really do like to see car audio companies do things that are different from what's already on the market. The car audio industry (especially spl basshead oriented products) really needs more companies doing their own unique things. More companies who are truly doing their own R&D are needed, rather than the same ol companies regurgitating the same ol rebranded products.

    I've always been a big fan of exo and where he's a fellow mainer and I was excited about his build when he described it, but damn it's been going on for sooooo long. I know life has interfered but the videos are so uneventful for awhile, like today I'm polishing the screw heads to a mirror finish! That's an exaggeration but not far off. Well if you had 2 hungry subs for $600 you could either strap 2 per sub or one per coil

    One thing that still completely surprises me is even at $1,600 and having some of the best tech possible on the inside of the amp, connections are still RCA. Not digital. Which definitely is a much better connection. RCA connections are 1970's technology! Not even balanced connections are used. I guess it doesn't matter since the RCA cable is so short? Well, I guess it is a single channel amp. Still an impressive amplifier, even with the price.

      Virtually no head units or dsps have digital outputs. They are almost always going to be analog RCA out. You are correct in that the very short legnths of cable typically needed are not going to be a problem.
