some pics. I have been having some trouble with my pics/links working so here is another shot. I'm still working on getting the exact specs on these beauties.





















 
tried for hours today to get the specs on the power plates but didn't have a lot of luck. I talked with a guy at a local custom shop and he thought they were 50 OR 75x 2 into 4 Ohms very underrated with THD of approx 0.01% and S/N ratio of around 95+. But he said he didn't know for sure. I'm gonna go to my friends shop tomorrow, if I can and have him do a bench test. I'll post results as soon as I can. Within the next couple of days.

No refs on here, as I'm so new, but my ebay is 100% with (60), under benjamin2180, and from ECA, Qmatox, Mr. Marv, Cam2Xrunner, cptnsquirly, Nizee are a few. Thanks for the interest and I'll get back soon.

 
The old school a/d/s Power Plate 100's were rated at 50W X 2. Back then not many amps if any were bridgeable (safely), and I do not believe they were 2 ohm stable either. The circuits inside those are all discrete, no IC's. Lots of wires! I saw alot of them installed in 280ZX's with the European Alpine cassette deck (small chassis) and a/d/s L300C's in the back. They sounded very good and were considered some of the best in the late 70's early 80's.

The original ADS company is long gone and the remnants are now owned by DEI and they are as helpful as teets on a boar hog.

The Nakamichi PA-300 was very similar to the a/d/s Power Plate and it was rated at 75W x 2.

The only other amps at that time that were as clean sounding as the ADS were the original Fosgate (long before Rockford) company PR series amps.
