Well, I have had my Connex 4600 turbo for 3 years, never had it apart, have had a lot of compliments on the sound and clarity, two of my buddies bought the same exact radio from Sparkys instead of Clays which is where I purchased mine. I have put this radio through hell and back and hasn't let me down... yet... I think the talk back is going or its the mic again already on my 3rd road king, I work on pretty rough logging roads all year, and the radio has lasted 3 years of torcher, I will say I have never run a galaxy but I'm all for the Connex, don't get me wrong I looked at that 94HP and thats a cool **Censored** looking radio! i think it would look good in my pick up!

The only way I'd buy a connex, is if I got it cheap enough to resale and make money!

Why not get a tricked out General Lee and put a Davemade amp behind it? Say a 2x4 or such.
Or.....send in your 3300hp for a make over and put a Davemade behind it!

Connex

My 43-300 hasn't given me a lick of trouble,
it's my first connex, been running RCI radios for the last decade or more, wanted to try something different.
It won't be my last Connex radio. 8)

The 4600 (no longer made) and the Galaxy 94hp are two very different radios.
The 4600 is basically a 3300 with a two pill amp on the bottom. The 94 is a
959 (same board) with a four mosfet amp on the bottom. The 94 has ssb,
a big meter and more features. The 4600 is a talkin' fool. It all depends
on what you're after.

I own a Galaxy DX 94HP, I think it is a much better radio then my old RCI 2950, and far better then my Cobra 25 that I use as a back up radio. So for me it's Galaxy all the way.

I am a Galaxy fan myself they have all the toys,bells and whistles that i like in my radios. They also have a wider range of radios to pick from. The Connex is a very nice radio and would not turn one down if someone gave me one just not as flashy as the Galaxy's.

I agree.... the galaxy does have all the pretty stuff.... guess you could lure in all the mud ducks with its physical attributes and then have a buddy around with his 4600t to squash them lol

I like what I heard earlier send you 3300HP in for a Tune-Up and than get you a Dave Made 2X4 or any 2X4 Box and that with do some talking. You already got a great radio just run a 2X4 with it and you will be walking the dog now.

Common man add variable power and no over drive its about the same as a general lee i have them both with variable power and are a great set up, I can get into more details but I think you and others all know where I'm going with this.

Why a 2x4? A 3300hp would cruise a straight 4 and drive the snot out of a 1x4.

I wouldn't run a dual final radio into a 1x4, let alone a 2x4.
