Hey, good news ! The power supply was gone on this 7909 unit, so I had the unit repaired by Chris at S&S electronics here in Toronto (http://www.s-selectronics.com/978/index.html). Highly hghly recommended repair shop ! WC Enterprises in Markham http://www.wcent.ca/ (Canadian Alpine authorized repair shop) said it was not repairable due to part being NLA...haha !

Sounds amazing ! I Havent heard anything this clean in car audio ever !!

Even the installer was impressed , and hes been doing car audio for 20+ years...

Here's some pics and a video !

Raw unedited video:

The unit itself is from 1989. I bought it in disrepair for cheap from someone recently.They hadnt used it since 2003.

I had it repaired now, this is the 1st time I have hooked it up since I got it, so I dont know how long it lasts.

7909 was a premier HU to use in sound comps back in the day. They sound so good. and they looked good to. good to see one ressurrected. Last time I saw one for sale on ebay it went for 400.00
