Got Amp 4 Free...Need Info About It

[John2005 10+ year member]

Ok I got an amp for free from my Dad's work since it was in a car the work was taking to the junkyard. The amp works as far as I know. The amp is an A/D/S PQ20. A/D/S=Analog and Digital Systems. I took some pictures of the amp and they are below. Sorry for the image quality as the pictures where taken on a 1.3Megapixel Camera Phone since I can't find my 5mp Camera. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,

John2005

If my memory serves, A/D/S's had some nice amps back in the day... Might be a good find...

If you run it hard enough, it'll double as a grill.

It's like a George Foreman... it has channels for the grease to run off through.

Free stuff is always the best stuff.

If it ends up being something not as good as what you already have but it still works then you can just sell it. Someone's unloved gear is usually someone else's upgrade so if it doesn't serve as a free amp it can still serve as the source for some free money! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

I doubt it will be better than my kicker kx600.4, but I won't sell it because I am a pack rat //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif. Can't ever have enough car audio items.

actually, it is about as good as the 600.4

as far as quality is concerned. ADS was an awesome high end company. most of the installs ive seen online with ads were in bmw's, porche, vette, lexus, ect.

the best part about ads amps, is they are TINY. i bet that PQ20 is almost 1\2 the size of the 600.4

they fit under seats well, they mount upside down well. they are just tanks.

can i have it? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

It can double as a PS3 then.

Naw I can't give it away. If nothing else I might get another pair of kicker 6.5 KS Components and hook them up to this amp or remove the one set of 6.5 midbass off the kx600.4 to this.

Definetly keep that amp till you die, because it won't.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
