you really can't go wrong with an old punch amp. hook it up, you'l lbe surprised.

you know if all it really puts out is 75 watts i was wanting to run some cvr 8's off of it but i dont think 75 will cut it

Those are waaaaay underrated.

Its probably closer to 120w per channel @ 4ohms.

Those used to be the amp to use on subs back in the late 80's for many people.

It will do fine on your 8's.

so then its worth keeping i guess

not bad for 30 dollars then hope it will do good for what i need

anyone know if it can handle a 2 ohm load bridged?

im glad i bought it then

rough idea of what they are worth i know it should be more then the 30 dollars i payed from what everyone is saying

[rob_z89 10+ year member]

well most likely ill be wiring this up friday when i have a chance and go from there hopefully it will work good in my application if not ill put it up for sale

I don't think you can run it 2 ohm mono, 2 ohm stereo - yes.

Keep it at 4 ohm mono if possible. Running it a 2 ohm you will have grill to cook hamburgers and hot dogs on in the back of your car if it does not blow up first.

alright thanks for the info i think imma try at 2 ohms for a few minutes and see how it does if not i can just re wire it to 4 ohms with my other subs
