what will a (4)3-500z do watts ..its got all new amprex PD transformers it has bluegill on it.....but any how i can get the box for a 900 if it worth it?
 

If you need more power than 2 tubes can provide, get bigger tubes.

I'd run, not walk, from this amp. But I tend to be a purist when it comes to this stuff. I know a bunch of guys would just love to have a 4 X 3-500Z bowl box.

To answer your question, 3K - 4K would b about right, depending on the abuse.

If, the transformer is big enough and you have the right drive, it will swing to 5 grand on a Bird 43P. This is a base amp or is it an AC Mobile piece? Last question, what area are you located in?
 
it

it was at one time a AC Mobile but now base....4-5 k on a bird 43p what about a 43 rms thanks

yep, 1 tube you can get a safe 1000 watts...
and 900.00 isn't a bad deal at all :) I can get 10 pills all day with the DC power supply's,but choose tubes over them
heathkit's like the SB220 with 2 of them tubes avg price is about
500-600.... and you can drive them tubes from 50-400 watts input maybe even more for them 4...

Sounds like someone got wise and got rid of it. Now, someone else has gotten wise and is getting rid of it too. Be the first on your block!

3CX3000A7

The output power 100 watts drive(in) 2500 to 3000+ watts per tube (out) and each tube can handle 400 watts or more drive on all bands. ...so not bad for 1800 bucks..lol
 
hmm

lol no i dont wont to put that much into a box... and it will do to much for what i need it for...
 
I don't recommend the A7 version. It makes a nice modulator for a Continental 317-C as designed, but the OTHER 3X3 is the one you want.
