Ran across several of these on the Dallas Craigslist. I've never heard of them before, thought I'd post a few pics and let y'all take a gander

500W from 2x2879? God bless America!

Very possible for a very short time.... 18+VDC, hitting it with about 50 watts, driving it into meltdown.....A 1X2 is usually good for @400 at normal drive and volts though.

*edit*
Change 1X4 to 1X2

Hahaha, not for long with those 2 hg's.
This guy is high as hell.

HG's hFE will drop like a rock running it like that if they don't blow first.

@20 volts
Key.
Scream Worldwide for ten seconds.
Un key, and roll down windows to let smoke out.
Replace transistors.
Repeat.
They should just clamp the 2 hg's in so you don't have to waste time taking out the screws after each key.
Some guy will buy this for a daily driver amp In his Toyota and moan that it won't do the wztts.

I might have used a different word between "God" and "America".

Change America to Canada while you're at it.

I found this way too funny.....and accurate.

I can get 500w out of my 4 pill HG amp and I keep my fingers crossed. 1 driving 2 is what you do to a 4 pill amp when one of them blows. haha

Yeah that went sideways. My thinking was "God damn America. 500 watts from a pair of 2879s WTF?!" It was counter to Mikes post not to simply put down the country. I can see how that could have been taken wrong. Sometimes thoughts are not conveyed well.

That's an old name.
