Magnum S-3 : 50W radio with 3 ERF2030s (1 driver & 2 finals)
Note Early Versions of S-3's had Two 2SC1969 for finals.

neither version is capable of 80W.

if you do in fact have the magnum s380, it will do all of 80w, maybe a little more with the proper tune. if you have the regular magnum s3, expect no more than 60w, max PEP..... and that's with a proper tune.
