Amp Guts of a Very over looked 1200 watt Class D

[infinitymobile 10+ year member]

Its the Cerwin Vega EXL1200d and can be had for under $200 on ebay. The previous version was the EXL1000D and used the same board as an Arc Audio Kar series amp. I searched and searched for feedback about this newer 1200 watt version and found nothing so I decided to take the plunge. I got this one for 175 shipped and the prices seem to be slowly creeping up. Just wanted to share since I know alot of members here are always looking for cheap reliable power! Enjoy!

Also if anybody can Id this board from another amplifier currently out that would be great. I would be suprised if this particular design hasnt been used in another amp before.

I wouldn't get it just because of such an ugly heatsink.

Just my opinion though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yea, wtf?!!?!

I guess If you raised it about 2 inches or flipped it, it may be useful.. other than that it isn't much more than a way for dust to get in.

Oh and, it does seem like a good looking, well built amp at that price especially.
