[QUOTE="awalbert88, post: 317578, member: 545461"] The amp is sitting out in my garage at the moment, but I'll get the model number and information for you tomorrow.. today.. er.. whenever I wake up, because it's 4AM right now. A low pass filter can be part of an amp. If you're going to get into semantics and say that an amp is only the part of the "amplifier" that increases the signal, then I think perhaps you should have said this from the get go. It may as well have been for the $100 I paid for it. Not a bad price for 400W, but the amp was a piece of junk. There's a reason Optimus isn't in car audio anymore. Tandy Corporation seems to make a lot of half-assed products, sell them for awhile, realize they're junk, then discontinue them... And I suspect the reason for this is that all employees of Radio Shack/Tandy/Optimus have to sign an agreement upon being hired that anything they invent within seven years of their employment is the sole property of Tandy Corporation. Yes, even the salespeople at your local Radio Shack store. You may ask, "how in the hell could those idiots invent anything?" And to that question, I have no answer. Wow, I really should think about getting some sleep... [/QUOTE]
