Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this amp or knows any info on it.

I found one brand new on ebay still in its box from 1991 and bought it. Its a 4/3/2 Channel rated at 80wrns@4ohmX4.

I can't say I've ever even seen one of those outside of the listing where it was won.

LOL so I guess you saw the auction I won......

I think I got a pretty good deal on it, guess I'll see when it gets here.

The weird thing is, when googled you can find places that want to charge you for the repair/owners manual but there isn't anything spec wise on the amp

I have the tech sheets for a lot of the amps I have owned throughout the years and more than a few of them listed no output specifications of any kind. Just part numbers and a schematic.

That's providing the THD percentage for PEAK output which is, as we all know, an inconsequential figure.

RMS ratings are key and all else is marketing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

How would I test the amp to see what it actually puts out. The old amps were rated @ 12volts so at 14.4 it should be a good bit more.
