Meh.....according to ampguts it does 375x1 @ 1ohm. I'd assume it does more than that however. Gotta figure though, unless you're gonna use it for your personal system, that you will have to put a new heatsink on it, or do something with the one you have, further eating into any profit margin. If you want to go a usamps route, and the power sounds good to you, then thats not a bad price...heck, offer them 60, they may take it!

Id buy it for sure, nice amp and nice price. Id just refinish it...

Wait....is it a small amp? Or a long one? There is a vlx, and then there is an hc50. If its the small amp, then what I said holds. If its a big long one, drive down there right now, wake up the owner, buy it for the 80 bucks and make a run for it.

um.. PRETTY sure is said vlx.. and size wise its about the size of my orion 250r.. that help? said vlx-50hc im like 80% sure...

If its the size of an older 250 orion then it might not be. I think the vlx's are about the same size as a beast. Im not 100% though.

I still would get it. If anything you could fix it up for a project. The pawn shops around me have nothing but shit, and if its something good its waaayyy overpriced.

What color was it btw? Im sure it would look good if you stripped off the paint down the aluminum and somehow buffed it up.

nice. i know you love the old school amps, and the next one i found isnt exactly "old school" so much, although it IS a bit older.. how about this for a price- crossfire bmf1000d for 139. MINT shape, no remote gain.. fair price? also had 4 8" kicker l7's and a box for 199....either of those worth getting?
