That is 75X2@4 ohms and 110WX2@2ohms.

New design, new look, improved heat conduction. Don't forget the plexiglas will not dissipate heat.

The new amplifiers have a smaller footprint, but more power. They need some good heat dissipation.

So all new GTO amplifiers feature a full Aluminum heatsink including Aluminum feet for significantly improved thermal performance.

I have not heard the GTO3501, to tell you the truth, but having heard the 1004, I suspect the quality will be excellent. The power is more than the 301.1

Sorry for the faux pass with the 301.1

I was looking forward to finally having the same series components after years of mix n' match of equipment. I guess that is not to be though.

With the 3501, will i get a sub level controller bundled or will i have to purchase it separately ?

Where do i purchase this amp from in suburban Mumbai and do i get any T-Bhp discount ?

Also can you recommend some reliable installer for the amps and for my overall install ?

Thanks a ton for being so prompt and patient with me.

Cheers !!!

I understand your question. The sub controller costs some 1200 or 1600. We had a scheme where we were giving it FOC with a GTO301.1. I don't think the same freebie applies to the new amplifier.

Not yet anyways.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa........................... ..

guess i'll have to wait some time to see if the scheme comes out. Else, if everything goes as planned i'll just lose my patience and purchase one for myself.

What does the birdie say sam, is the scheme going to be launched as a special limited time only Diwali offer ????

tsk tsk..! maybe there's a certain ye..oops....santa listening (is there a difference?) !! its that time of the year u'know ! lol

[St. Anger]

NIP, even i'm hoping that Santa is listening. I've been a good boy you see. At least if i knew how to get in touch with his elf.
Besides, I've heard that one particular Santa in orange is musically inclined and usually works his magic.

Sigh, lets see, am saving up for the 9887 first, then Vitamin M permitting, the 3501 shall be mine for the taking.

[Sam Kapasi]

When you buy the 3501, send me a PM. I'll see what I can do, no promises.

You've answered your question here:

Don't expect too much is all I can say.

[Sam Kapasi]

It's not the fact that they are made in China. Heck even the iPhone is made in china.

There are many no-name, brand free products made in cheap factories in CHina. They mostly sound like rubbish. So be careful.

[jvsatish]

thank you so much gurus.

It sounds like one of those. Had I seen a good brand name, I'm sure I would have not said something like that.

[vebmetal]

So what 2 channel JBL amps will be available in GT5 / GTO series now and at what price?

[Sam Kapasi]

There will not be any 2 channel GTO amps in India.

There will be a 2 channel GT5 amplifier. But the GT5 has its own thread na?

[scarlet.fever]

Sam Sir when will be the new range launched or have they been already launched.
I am about to get a new setup done in my car so could wait a bit longer in that case.
