Its not a bargain at that price, but they're really good amps, and you probably wont lose money if you decide to sell it later.

Well if its a good price id prob just keep it. Its really just temp till Jan time when i get real money to mess with build. I really need to know what type of power this thing really does hes telling me @2ohms 2700rms and over 4k @0.5 and im not 100% sure if thats true or false never messed with them

not rated at 0.5 ohm. i would not recommend that. nice old school amp, $400 is around the going price. however, unless you are specifically looking for old school class a/b amps, that amount of money can get you a nice powerful amp from today's lineup.

it's old school zed it'll be fine at .5

it is a major current hog though as it is not a class d
