I can't find specs on this amp anywhere. It looks pretty old.

All i want to know is the RMS rating for x4 channels at 4 ohms.

and yes i know there is a wrong fuse in there haha

thanks

looks to be 600w (max) maybe 300rms, so could be 75w x 4 @ 4

Now that i have been using this amp for a while, i have noticed that it is kind of broken.

Whenever i play it at higher volumes for long periods of time it tends to wear out until i let it cool off. If i hit a bump or turn it up too loud, there is a point where the sound will crash and die off and sound absolutely terrible. If i let this go for more than a couple seconds eventually it will turn into a very high pitch screech. Sometimes it will start up and be full power with the overpowering issue i described, and sometimes it will just be a very low power amp. Won't get very loud at all. think this problem is fixable?

gotta give them credit for going smaller instead of larger.

With 20Ax2 it should be in the 400w neighborhood at min impedance. So at 200x2 bridged, 75x4 or so at 4 ohms stereo seems within reason.

Not worth fixing though. You can get a comparable profile refurb at profile caraudio.com for $65+shipping w/a 1 yr warranty.
