[QUOTE="GCAdidas13, post: 1008148, member: 557864"] This amplifier was purchased by me about eight months ago. It has gone through a little bit of abuse that I will explain in this post. The amplifier still looks sexy as hell, however there are a few setbacks. The amplifier's +12v screw was tightened too tightly and the phillips head became stripped. It was a 7mm screw, so I went to the hardware store and could only find ugly *** 7mm bolts. I bought one. I went home to reconnect the amplifier. I tightened the ground's screw first, then went to tighten the bolt, and WOW SPARKS OMG so i ripped the ground back out really insanely hard. There is now a black mark above the +12v terminal. Pictures tomorrow. While having this amplifier installed with my Avalanche 15, I had a slight misfortune. The negative speaker lead disconnected from my amplifier and grounded itself to car chassis. I dissassembled the amplifier and found which parts to be blown easily, because the amplifier had a significant amount of burn residue around the inbound Mosfets as well as a transistor. I described this scenario to my friends at KBAudio, who told me that the only thing I have to do to repair the amplifier is to replace all 12 inbound mosfets as well as the blown transistor. I purchased the parts from [URL="http://www.partsexpress.com"]http://www.partsexpress.com[/URL] and repaired the amplifier with the help of my friend's very capable soldering ability. I tested this amplifier with one Ascendant Audio 15 freeair to test, and I believed it sounded fine, however wanted to put it through a more strenuous test to ensure it's ability. I hooked up with Mike (IwantseXXX) and we put it on his two Stereo Integrity Magnum 12's in a ported enclosure. We drove it hard, even tried to clip it a little bit to get it to show any signs of stress, but not a part of the board felt warm after a good three or five minute workout. Tomorrow I am going to put it on his Magnums again and let him run it for a couple days. I will be posting a For Sale thread for this amplifier in the near future if it holds up to his test. I would like to get $200 plus shipping out of this amplifier. Please PM me if you are interested. Brian [/QUOTE]
