[QUOTE="zachzchw, post: 929155, member: 558373"] A guy I work with asked me to take a look at his setup, because it was cutting out. So, we open the hood, no fuse in the 10 gauge power wire, which is just spread out under the battery terminal. So, I disconnect that. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif[/IMG] Then we open his trunk. Hes got two of the SPL5000 Pioneer Premiers 10"s (which he "got a deal on" at a local store, $300 for the pair, because they were display models) in a tiny sealed box with obvious air gaps at the top, and two of the sides. I see his power wire going into his amp, which doesnt have the wire mounting screws in it, so the wire just sits in there, ready to fall out. I pick the amp up to conceal some wire, and there is no bottom panel on the amp. Thats right, no bottom panel, so the bottom of the board is just sitting on the carpet. The top panel is also off of the amp. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif[/IMG] I then look closer at the amp, and see the gain- its got a range of two volts to three volts. A little voice is going off in my head, I remember seeing an amp like this before......so I ask him if he has the bottom panel and top cover. He does, but he took them off because they were getting hot, and he wanted the amp to be able to get some air. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif[/IMG] The point of all of this- in this ghetto rigged, fire waiting to happen mess of an install- was a Mcintosh 427. Yeah, thats right. Now, I dont have personal experience with this amp, but I am aware that mcintosh is a good company. I tested the amp out in my car, it works fine. Im buying it off of him tomorrow, for, well a very nice price. Question is, does anyone have any links to this amp, or any idea what its worth? [/QUOTE]
