Figured I'd post these up. Found these a while back for a good deal, brought back a lot of memories.

And some higher quality pictures my roommate took of them:

They are class A/B amps.

Specs:

40w RMS at 4ohm

600w RMS at 2ohm

1200+w RMS at 1ohm

These are at 12ish volts. Other people have said that they do 1500+ at 1ohm on 14.4v.

I haven't clamped them, but I plan on it once I get a chance.

Also, if you notice the strange fuse config, it turns out they've been modified so that they are stable (they were notoriously unstable at high output) for music and such.

Is that the design on the outside of the amps or just scratches? Either way it looks bad ass!

That's the design...it's like a bowling ball type paintjob. I used to think they were ugly, but they've grown on me over the years. It also helps that they're kind of legendary :)

Nice find!

Any details on the mods?

Curious what they did to help stability.

wish i had more details on the mods...I asked around the area (these were rather popular around here back in the old days) and one of my friends that competed heavily back then said the strange fuse configuration was because they were modded for stability. I know they're stable because I ran one for a few months and beat the tar out of it. Maybe someone with experience in amp modding will pop in and take a look. I'll see if I can track down more info from some of my friends, as now I'm getting a bit more curious myself.
