[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8657877, member: 614752"] IIRC there was a Hifonics Colossus (two Zeus boards in one heatsink) which would make around 2K. I do know they had a reputation for blowing up but I'm pretty certain the guys in the lanes with them were running them way below rated impedance. I sold a sub on this forum to a guy who was using one 7 years ago or so. Can't remember who it was though, but he didn't have any complaints. Can't speak for anybody else but I know Stephen Mantz (Zed) told me that in the late 90s some legislation basically broke amp manufacturing in the USA. He was making Boss amps at the time and employing 100 people.... something to do with having to provide health insurance or something I believe the story was. Many of those companies were in SoCal and pretty much all of them folded or outsourced manufacturing to the far east around then so I'd suspect there's something there. [/QUOTE]
