No, not me; But if u have 1 for sale, I definitely would be interested. but not now, I'm trying to get my hands on an autotek 132, PG zx450, and another pair of avalanche 15s @ the moment.

I need to take some pics of the old school stuff I've bought the last few months. But when I get everything together to take pics, I realize I have a problem. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

If anyone of you should ever get your hands on an old Hifonics Colossus VII with 4 to 6 openings (holes) @ the bottom cover so it could "breathe", that was me! Sorry! hey, I was only 14 years old! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/banghead.gif.8606515f668c74f6de0281deb475b6fd.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/escape.gif.52b661afb17bde1db0e0c7da97e75b38.gif

This is for all of you who ***** about budget amps of today not being worth the money and or build poorly.

This is what us old timers had to deal with back in the day.

Combat AK1818 amplifier. These were the king of flea market budget amplifiers.

Rated at 250x4 lol right!

Anyway I got this for cheap I had one back in the day before I worked in the industry and knew better. Very nostalgic piece of audio here!

Enjoy! (internals to come later but I can honestly tell you there is not much to look at.)

Did you ever shatter your windshield with the music from it ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif I need to dig around and see if I have any of my old stuff left

This amp would cause Sonic Booms! Seriously though this is just slightly better then deck power. Although today's decks probably have a better output section, you will witness the amazing build quality of the Combat soon enough!

I have an amp that says 3200w its power chip looks like a radio output...i think they accidently added two zeros..lol

Behold the true power of the Combat AK1818!

There are 4 IC chip for output 2 per left and right.

 

[Rich B 5,000+ posts]

I've had HU's that had more guts than that amp!

It does have a nice heatsink.

lol

 

[Shinju 10+ year member]

Sure does, even though its pretty gutless it cranks pretty good and has more power then the RFX deck that its hooked up too.

It will be a wall piece once I get my bench redone, for now its my garage stereo amplifer running a pair of bloes shelf towers. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
