Title: Just my luck
Post by: dirtracin23 on January 10, 2015, 05:36:46 PM
Lookey HERE (http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/tm400x2ad)

Wouldn't you know it. Bought myself a RF T400X2ad amp for my audio upgrade and before I even get it all done and operational, they come out with a better mouse trap. Shouldn't have been so damn impatient and waited a couple months.

I think we have all done that . My last cellphone I got . The next day they came out with a new model. I have found out if it works for me drew the new model.Don't have buyer's remorse.

Well, after doing a bit more research, it seems the only difference between the two besides appearance/color is the TM400X2ad has 2 part marine epoxy on all circuit boards.

Since I don't think I'll be pulling any water skiers behind the old Hog in the foreseeable future, I think I'll be just fine.

I don't feel so bad now.    :baby:

so I talked to Bill's engineering team over at RF a few months ago when this came out and gave them my suggestions.

1. conformal coating
2. the adjustable controls need to be behind a moisture proof removeable cover

well I got 50% of what I asked for.  LOL

I guess 50% is better than nothing.
