Oh my god. The cleansweep is everything i ever wanted in a line output converter. The LC7 is a joke compared to this thing.

It's ugly as sin right now, I literally wired everything in with electrical tape at lunch just to see if it solved my issues, so it's just sitting on the floor of my trunk atm. I'll probably be tuning gains all evening.

You might get to listen to it on friday, but no looking until i get everything properly mounted up this weekend.

I'm actually using velcro cable ties.


The amp is actually mounted with 2 long strips of industrial strength velcro too. if you try and yank it straight out, you'll tear the trunk carpet out before the amp pulls free of it.

I give you, the dirtysweep!

i need to do a bit of cable management. took a drive tonight and it's absolutely brilliant. Serious ear damaging potential. I didn't dare crank it up past 25 for fear of my ears exploding, but it wasn't distorting at that point. I've yet to take readings with a Db meter, but I'm hopeful that it will just read "TILT"

Hey, I may have some wire tubing... Like the spiral stuff you thread wires through. Let me check at work. If anything I'll drop it by the meet tomorrow.
