Default Magnum

What's the deal with these Magnum's (?)

I am considering purchasing a new radio...

I really like the sound of the Connex Radio's... and have only heard one (1) driver out there that had a Magnum...

Are there any advantages with a Magnum versus Connex?

I want the "Sound" of a Connex with the "Power" that the description Magnum "Claims"

Will I get "Both" with a Magnum?

80 watts

Magnum S-380
S-680

or

Connex 4300HP

my opinion is.........buy the connex, too many people I know that have magnums have had problems with them.radios shouldn't have to be in the shop every 6 months.


all the guys I know with connex's don't have these issues. hope this helps.

I have an Magnum S380 haven't had any problems with it as of yet, Depends on which shop sets them up, if you don't bend the crap out of the filter coils they aren't bad. The power section is layed out a little different. You don't want a tech to tune it to clobber the radio final stage. IMHO

I own a galaxy. run with guys that own the 4300 & the magnum s-6's, both are similiar in power when talking to me, the guys with magnums have had to put theirs in the shop & the connex guys haven't.
