Title: WestTRACK Amp
Post by: Lilo_improbum on Dec 10, 2008 at 06:01 AM
Good AM! Any1 know about a 1000 watts Westrack Brand Assembled Amp... Where to get it, price tag... My friend told me about the amp, his cousin use it for a mobile set up, he dont know the power rating of an Amp.. He says it was bought 2 years ago at Binondo at a Electronic Store, DECIBEZ.. Sad to hear from him he dont know Where it is in Binondo.... Street?? Sketch, LandMarks or Stores beside DECIBEZ for easy hunting.. Any1?? ka pinoyDVD know exact address of DECIBEZ?? Thanks!

Any Reiviews bout WestRack Performance.. Mga Pro sa Audio Set up baka may idea kayu bout da WestRack Amp.. Performance,Price Tag at sound quality.. thanks!

the stock westrack performance lacks of low sensitivity and impedance drive capability they clip early at my dummy load 6ohms resistor on my osci. Good lang ito for 8ohms full range spectrum of 20 to 20khz use.

Unless you know how to mod and the bias and nfb circuit. its the same circuit as my amp1 and amp2 with steroids.

my designs modded with separate differential regulated supply protecting the pre output driver and final stage out from harm. but the design is not suitable for burst signals that goes beyond 1 to 10hz for some reasons. sometimes it will trick the protection to activate for a few seconds. but if you have subsonic filter it will handle continuous sub freq 15hz to 20khz sweet juice for 24/7.

the real deal is my amp3 and 4 designs. its pure RMS rating is real. it is built for sub frequency abuse use. The feature function is the capability for driving impedance upto to dangerous low 2ohms w/o overheating.

pasyal ka sa house for demo.

i have not bought any kits from them as i diy my own like pilyo here ;D
.....for the cliamed power rating i find the heatsinks too skimpy, you will have to train fans on them to keep them cool when using them on sustained high volume levels.

likewise, all depends on the power tranformer you are going to use as the traffo will determine how much power is delivered to your speakers prior to clipping...

OTOH, having large power traffo may not be wise either as the amp modules can break down when using huge traffos...

so my advice is to use if with extreme care..... ;D

master tony simple ka pa diyan. nakausap ko si william wong owner ng swed westrack. The amp secret really relies on transfo. i now use some techniques to beat costly toroid w/ better efficiency. am doing mas produce on them now.  but will accept order ulit on jan 2009 na.

btw train sink like this? choo choo  ;D

Kasi yung westRack they are using Transistors like you...2SC2922 and 2SA1216... halus they are they identical sa ginawa mung amp1... My question is kaya ba nang AmP1 ang 1000 watts double magnet T&T subwoofer speaker na nabili ko sa Raon??? Rule of a thumb kasi sabi nang pinag bilhan ko nang Speaker, I shud use daw an AmP with a Power Rating of 1600 waTTs para maganda ang sound nang Speaker...

Sa 24 of Dec.pwd???  yun lang kasi ang available date na pwd ako maka punta sa haws mu... Any modification sa Amp1??? yung amp 3and 4 pwd sa 18 inch na T&T??? dalawang amp3 or 4??? Bridged?? Pwd kaya sa 18 inch.. ..

there are three models on westrak 120, 200 and 300watts the 300watt model requires 6 TB34 transistors on 8ohms circuit design compliant. The diff from my amp1 uses same TB34 but in double barrel config symmetry with 16pcs 8pcs 2SC2922 and 8pcs 2SA1216. and a very large transformer almost the size of welding machine and can go 2ohms straight.   :o

imho my amp3 will be most suitable for your spk. The raon guys must have said 1600watts peak. since my amp3 is 800watts raw RMS output or 1600watts peak it will handle your sub as the raon guys referring.

This amp 3 is also been tested for 18inch xxx RE a P77K sub during the transhow last august at roadstar boot. believe it or not the test tone of 20hz  shows an Xmax of 5 to 6 inches of excursion the bass was totally mind boggling. i wish i could afford those sub.

btw. by dec24 wala na ako sa pasay. will stay at my parents house in pque  till jan.
if you can make it dec22 sa pasay mas ok. ;)

these westrack amps can use those Conrad Engineering cast aluminum heatsinks for better heat handling....

a 300 watter mono amp traffo will weigh in at least 10kgs.... ;D

 :D  So sir?? Your final Word.. anu yung pinaka "RESETA" mo? What shud I pick?? Since its all TB34 package.. AMP3 bridged?? Pwde kaya ??? As to be used to my 18 inch 1000 watts Sub.. Or, the Monster  "AMP1" ???  If you decide sir pilyo not watching the price tag..Which performs "BEtteR" to my speaker... THANKS!

 ;D pilyo is one of the  nice guys, though i have not met him personally, he had plenty of deals at tipidpc.com and is a respected member there, this much i know.... ;D

the Westrack amps, specially the high power ones, are Super Leach amp clones looking at the way they are constructed...they certeinly can use the Conrad Heatsinks to make them more heat stable...

No harm done. And you know am one of those circuit breaker fuse that doesnt trip. lol

merry christmas.  ;D

Master tony saan ba makakabili ng Conrad Heatsinks? baka pwede mo naman ako tulungan gumawa ng magandang casing for my amps. gusto ko sana mga tipong pwede na i display sa mga HT rooms. it seems wala talaga akong talent pag dating dun.

If you want a good design of Amp case pwede kita gawan (ng design ;D) just give me dimension of your panel including location of switches and knobs. I know HDM Technologies, we can make a good CNC design front panel. We can make anything you want regarding the design, the only problem is the COST

Sample ACAD design:(Not real color)

Sir Tony... Ang Super Leach Amp gumagamit di ba nang MOtoRoLa Transistor? Ask lng ako... Leach Amp pwd din pang Sub?

yup...motorola dati bago naging on-semi, pwede kang gumamit ng MJL21193/MJL21194 kung pang bass....kung full range mas preffered ko yunng MJL1302/MJL3281....

yung leach amp magandang tumunog, sayang naman kung pang bass lang sya....pero pwede.... ;D

all i have done are 250watter leach amps....leach amps are not tiring to listen to even at high volume levels...... ;D

pang mobile ba? yes it is possible to do it, i have asked a friend to design a pcb for me using Leach's doubled barreled amplifier topology using 10 qauds of those ON-Semi devices, that's 40 transistors per channel output.

sir pilyo ilang amp3 ang ginamit sa pag test nang RE XXX na 18 inch sub???? the same 10 ampere traffo used as wat i want to buy???

Two amp3.

the RE has dual2 coils. 
using Y rca to split the two amp3 in mono config.
(http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u72/pilyo168/label/aaqrcasplitter.jpg)
each amp3 output connected to each coil.

therefore two 10ampere traffos per coil. now how sweet is that.  ;D

for those who doesn't know what RE-xxx.
(http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u72/pilyo168/0dcf_1.jpg)
$1600 or P77k sub
(http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u72/pilyo168/xxx18inch.jpg)
here is a vid sample of 15inch with 6inch excursion.  take note hindi pa ito yung 18inch.

SIR TONY...ask lang ako bout da traffo...  ::) pwedi bang i parallel ko ang two (2) 39 0 39 ten (10) amperes para maka arrive nang 20 amps??  thanks sir..   :D

when i was younger, maybe like your age, i used to think that way too.... ;D

if you tell me what size your present transformer is, then i can tell you for sure, normally you can parralel two transformers if you get your phasing correctly.....

the question is, however, why do you want to do it? is one not enough? if you have two of those, you can use two transformers and feed two channels from those two transformers, meaning one transformer for each channel, what i am saying is there is another way...

why the obsession with 20 amps?

one rule of thumb for power transformers used in ss amps is that, you get the biggest one that can fit your chassis....

remember, why commercial amps can get away with smaller and lighter transformers is that, music has a high peak to average ratio as compared to sine waves which is sqaure root of two.....with music it can be as high as ten(10).....

 the transformers used in the Crown PB's are phisically small....
