i am trying to find an amplifier that will handle my magnum s6-175. it dead keys around 10 watts, and modulates to 200. is there an amplifier that wont kill the bank or have to re-tweak my radio that is around 400 to 600 watts? basically i am looking for an amplifier that will handle 200 watts peak envelope. anyone know of one?

get ready to learn about alternators , extra batteries and motor mauls .

a "6 pill amp" with 2sc2879 transistors will give you 600watts out.

200 watts into a 6 pill ?

Booty until you have run a 6 pill amp or larger and can talk from experience... do not waste my time. Yes 200 peak watts into a (6) 2sc2879 amp.

Booty he did say its a Magnum S-6 175
if you put that radio on a birdmeter then yes it would be a good canidate for the 6pill
or can under power a 8pill
im not talking about a texas star wanna be 8pill either

The TNT1200HD is a nice piece. It will give you a clean 600 watts out.
TNT, Xforceamps
or 600HD if you don't run side band http://www.xforceamps.com/shop/?cart=374913&cat=25

I think everyone should re-think those number a little bit.

Ok I will bite Doc... How much watts should he expect to get from a (6) 2sc2879 Class c, Class B amp with 200 peak watts in from his Magnum S6? I said he should at least get 600watts out. Was that number too generous?

depends on how far off the intended frequency you want to measure the power output from a 6 pill with 200 watts of drive going into it .
im sure that 20 to 1 swing/DK ratio will sound .......... amazing .
combine the two and ..... well ................................

PS , going from 200 to 600 watts is a fairly lateral move as far as actual effect goes .
i get almost 600 (575ish) from my 500v with only 20 or so watts modulated power into it .
