anyone heard of this ampliefier??

[ibetuwin]

i was browsing through some used merchandise at a local stereo shop which was closing and found this amp. the owner says that i could have it for $40 cause he could never sell it cause no one knew what it was. I google searched and got no results and was hoping some of the knowledgeable posters on here could help me out since i am at a dead end. heres what it says on the amp

AMPEX model AX680CA 4ch mosfet power 2-ohm stable 1500watts max

the amp itself looks pretty solid and weighs about 14 pounds with a heavy steel heatsink. it has 2 sets of adjustable HPF and LPF and two gain control settings along with 2 20 amp fuses. By the way the amp says made in Korea

Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can give

Ampex used to make, and still does IIRC, open-reel recording gear. Would surprise me if they made 12VDC car audio amplifiers, but then again, Sherwood and Denon both made products for 12V installs before.

Post pictures of it.

For the price I would pick it up. Never heard of the brand but it's cheap enough to not worry about it. If anything you could try to re-sell it to a buddy.

This is just my personal opinion, call me crazy, but I really wouldn't buy anything from the Arabian Trading Agency, something about the name just turns me off...
