What amp is the for the love of god

I'm gonna guess that the install shop that you got this from removed the actual logos and put their own on it just to look cool.

It's a "Stereo Limited". Yes, that was a brand back in the day(one of many "mutt" brands) . I never ran any, but i did see them for sale new in some shops in the '90s. Don't know how long they were produced. Never actually saw one in an install. The ones i saw looked like a cross between a Pyramid "Gold Series" and a Legacy. I don't remember them having the Rockford looking sticker on them though.

Looking closer at the pics I can see where they left out about four power supply fets. Looks more and more like a scaled down model of that same fusion I had built on a very similiar circuit board. preamp section/crossovers are a bit different but not much. Just different controls. I wanna say I had a fusion fp-1002 but not positive

Any of those I looked at are very different/newer so it would be like a reused board schematic or something. Definitely mid-90s though.

yeah its not an fp-1002. mine was bigger than that. I remember it had just as many output fets as yours. Actually fets is the wrong word because this amp doesn't have fets in the output section. It has complementary output transistors made to be used in pairs. I wanna say they are TIP35C and TIP36C. If so each one of those output transistors is recommended for like 75 watts continuously which theoretically could give you like 900 rms but the power supply would have to have enough juice to support that and I don't think it does especially considering they fused it for 50 amps and they have left four fets out of the power supply.

Fast forward to 1:20. YouTube - My Car Amplifier collection, Rockford Fosgate, Massive Audio, Coustic, Stereo Limited, Cadence

BTW this looks like a vid L-Crx would make, but with less equipement

lol yeah no way would that amp put out 900rms and survive. it gets really hot when its pushing out 5-6 at 1ohm mono. And yeah youre right thy are TIPS

 

[nateberrier 10+ year member]

OH SHI MAN, das my amp sorta. Stereo Limited found this a while ago but doesnt help.

 

[Spooney 10+ year member]

I will have to check my notes. I usually write down everything when I repair an amp like what the problem was and what was replaced. I probably have the model number written down.

 

[nateberrier 10+ year member]

i would love you forever.

Fusion fp2-1000x was the model number on mine. This amp did not have TIPs in it as outputs. It had KTD718 and KTB688 as outputs. These aren't as strong as the TIP35C and TIP36C. These are only good for about 50 watts continuously a piece. How do you know if your amp has TIPs if you haven't pulled the transistor clamp down bars?

That amp looks like your typical JustOneMoreAmp hack job from ebay. Missing a cap and having mismatched caps are his signature, trademarks.

I wonder if Jim Lincoln is selling under another username since he was tagged as a scammer?
