Nahhhh, I like to peek at other amps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I just fixed an Alpine for a friend... pretty weak if you ask me. It has "1000-watts" printed on the front and has 2x TIP42C and 2x TIP41C in the output section... 65-watt maximum dissipation each.
I put some cross-referenced NTE T0-220 units back in rated at 90-watts each and more than double the IC (collector current) and IB (base current) ratings, so hopefully he won't blow it up again as easily.
A "250 watt" Road gear has more in the output section than that Alpine in 1/2 the footprint size... it's actually got 4x TO-220 devices rated at 75-watts maximum each. I don't recall the part numbers... but I do recall that the rating was accurate per the devices at "250-watts Max." At least Road Gear got their number from somewhere!
Just random stuff on my mind... back on topic!
Its all good I was just bustin ballz. Ill try to get em nekkid later today and you can give me/us some of your insight. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
