Dragster DH 1804 1.2KW Amp Manual?

[bigdwiz 10+ year member]

I just picked up one of these amps and having a difficult time finding a owner's manual on it. I've tested the amp and it works great and from what I can find online it was made in Italy around 2005. I'm not sure how popular these amps were back them, but I don't recall seeing one before.

I've found the specs; 180x4 @4ohms, 300x4 @2ohms or 600x2 @4ohms and the amp is 33" long, makes my Orion XTR2250 "The Beast" not look so beastly! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Any help finding a PDF manual would be appreciated. I found a PDF brochure (in German?), but would really like a manual.

Oops, the amp is 29" long, not 33". Here are some comparison pics for reference. I found the US Distributor who purchased the company who made these amps years ago, so I should have a manual soon.

I wouldn't expect rated out of that amp. I had a couple dragster 15"s and they were along the lines of boss, pyle, etc. Blew in 10 mins on 1/3 rated rms.

Not sure where the speakers were made, but the amp was made in Italy. These amps are well regarded outside the US (info I've read, thanks to Google Translate) and I've seen a German test of the 2ch version of the 1.2kW amp and it did over 1200W RMS in their test. Here's some more info about these Dragster amps:

This amplifier was manufactured by GT Trading in Italy, the company behind the STEG brand. Since the original GT Trading company went bankrupt in 2008 (by the way, GT Trading is in business again and STEG amplifiers are also available again), the former GT engineering team formed MOSCONI. So I would recommend to contact ORCA, the US distributor of MOSCONI

I'll put this amp on the test bench soon enough to test RMS output power. It will be interesting to see what it actually does...See some "gut" shots below:
