Good stuff...never heard anything other than good things about us amps.

Tips...check your wiring...check your wiring....check your wiring...then when you are ready to put the power to it just stop..and go back and check your wiring again..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Haha will do, the one thing about this amp is it has dual power and ground's... so it's a few extra bucks for the kit. Probably going for the 2ga wires

Blue or green board?

Greens are supposedly a bit better, I don't know specifics however. Regardless, for 200 bucks you got a pretty sweet deal.

Green board yo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

pics? I had a us amps 2000 I paid 600$ for a few years ago, and they still sell for 6-700$

Green boards were made in the USA, so people like them more.

Definately a collectors piece.

So does that mean good shape or freaking old? haha

It looks to be in good shape to me... It could have been painted, but you should be able to look at the board, and at least tell whether it has been burnt or not. That amp will always be worth what you paid for it.

Yeah, when it comes in i'll post good pics.
