Memphis 16-ST1000D worth $112?

[Spooney 10+ year member]

I was at the local pawn shop today and I noticed they had an older memphis 16-ST1000D. Its the exact same amp as this one here: http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/Memphis_16-ST1000D/

Its not exactly in mint shape but I have seen amps way worse off.Assuming its in good working condition do you think this amp is worth the 112 bucks they said they would sell it to me for? power ratings claim 1100 watts at one ohm although I think it only has two 40 amp fuses.Anyone with any input care to chime in.I would greatly appreciate it.

picked it up today and even talked em down to 100 from the 120 they were asking which doesn't happen very often at this place .Hooked it up and all seems well other than the fact that my deck doesn't put out decent rca voltage until its nearly maxed out on volume.Time to hook up the line driver. I almost bought an earthquake d200hc they had as well for only 80 bucks.that amp was the predecessor to the d2 shredder.Pretty much the same **** thing in a slightly different case .They had it listed as a 200 watt amp.thing does **** near ten times that

Buy it and sell it again then!

The local 'Radioshack' has an older Solobaric L7 15.. and some Xtant amps and stuff. They want too much for it.

I wish I could find deals like that.

you could buy the Earthquake and resale it and clear an extra $50 profit pretty easy...

hell I sold a blown earthquake d2 to somebody on ebay for $125.The amp at the pawn shop is almost identical.There is only very minor(if any) changes between the two internally.You guys are making me second guess myself.I might have to make a trip back to the pawn shop for the third day in a row.

this thing is way more efficient than the mtx thunder 801d I was running.My lights dimmed majorly with the mtx even with the big 3 upgrade in 2 gauge but this memphis barely dims the lights and sounds a lot cleaner.

Holy shit that's a GREAT price. I'd buy it for that in 1 second.. even .1 second.

As a matter of fact, sell it to me. I'll pay $120 for it.

Sorry man id like to but this is the first amp in a while i've been happy with. Im usually too **** cheap to buy anything decent.... Still am really just got lucky for once assuming it holds up. I cant wait to drop her down to one ohm and really see what it can do
