That person's received 49 positive feedbacks, and 0 negative. However, they have 0 feedback as a seller.

I dunno...for the right price, I'd probably go for it.

Would you see no warranty as a risk? I guess for the price, it'sn not a huge assesment.

Considering those aren't in production....finding one with a warranty will be hard //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But those are solid amps. If it's still NIB (that one looks to be), then you shouldn't have any problems with it.

I wasn't implying that I could find one with warranty //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Definately going to have to think about this one.

While on the topic of warranty, do you know what Boston Acoustics is on the Z6?

That line of Eclipse amps are so great for front stage amps, probably some of my favorite i've ever used.

And yeah its hard to say about that seller. I don't see someone trying to rip someone off only for a $150 item though. If someone would risk that you'd think it would be for something more expensive.

I ran an Eclipse 34230 to my Pro's. Not in production anymore, but you can pick them up on egay for pretty decent prices. 400w x 2 @ 4ohm //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Excellent, excellent amps. Just be aware that they are not very flexible....they ARE NOT stable below 4ohm per channel and ARE NOT bridgeable. But, like I said...ran my "3ohm" Pro's just fine.

hey does that amp have a hi and lo pass filter? i bought a eclipse pa4212 and i didnt have a hi pass filter. that amp put out too much bass to power my old perfects- dintnt like the full range at all. i got some cdt es-620's that are lacking in midbass and im powering them with a dls A3 and i dont think that amp is powerful enough.

sorry for going off topic. yes the z series rule but you got to give them alot of power- built like tanks!!!

 

[stangme01 10+ year member]

yes it does have crossovers for hi/low pass. I used to have the 4-channel version of that amp.

Basically its the 4-channel already bridged down for you.

i noticed with my old eclipse amp it would make the speakers distort when you cranked the up if the volume was loud- is that the built in capasitors in the amp that causes it to do that? i had good ground and 0/1 gauge wire, i never could figure out why it did that

This amp?

This amp?

no the pa4212 eclipse 2ch. i was about 135x2@4ohm

 

[stangme01 10+ year member]

hmm weird

 

[HERETIC 10+ year member]

i wish dls made a strong 2ch over 300 rms. maybe get a 4ch and bridge it to get more power

Probably just overdriving the speakers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

would it be stupid to bridge my dls A3 to power those cdt's i got?
