I have to come back to this video about once a year. Back then, all my buddies thought I was stupid for spending a months pay on a Punch 75. I remember them going through so many sets of RCA cables and power wire, new ground wires trying to get these pyramid amps to put out like the Punch 75 was doing.
Same here. Nobody understood why I put money into Hifonics series VII (7) amps.
@@Jonas_Aa had a few of the series 7 Hifonics amps.
I ran soundsteram and had issues just like you speak of. friends scratching their heads all bent out of shape
That's a p class amp.
I once put an Orion 280sx in the case of that amp, every one was amazed how good the "Pyramid" amp sounded LOL
@Stew Pa'Dasso I was just thinking about M&M subwoofers . I wondered what happened to that company. They were good speakers as long as they were not mounted on the rear deck. Sun was there downfall.
lololol
Lol gottem!!
Sleeper Amp!!!
I remember pyramid as being the laughing stock of car audio back in the day and now I see why. Thanks for your awesome and informative videos.
+Harry Hagan yeah, pretty empty, but lots of cooling for the amp board 🤪
Pure junk 😂
Good old JC Whitney quality pyramid amp right there! Wish I still had my EQ booster from back in the day!
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a pyramid 801 EQ amp.
Yeah I know the wattage was a lie but I have so many great memories with that one.
This thing had a "Sparkomatic" electronics inside... lol
SPARKOMATIC..... wow... another company that was "there" at the times.... BOWMAN..... KRACO.... AUDIOVOX.... TENNA.... BOSE... the 1401 system was AMAZING.... PIONEER I remember in the 70's.... best stuff back then said PIONEER on it. CONCORD.... that name... They TRIED to build the best gear. I even installed a record player in a car... for American Stereo here.... LONG ago... Cant remember the name of that manufacturer. it WAS aftermarket though. LOTS of CRAIG stuff... The 70's was great for autosound.
They had a couple of amps SA-150 and SA-300 (also Audio art PA-2150 was the same amp) and those were chip amps. Not that bad though, just different.
@@Jonas_Aa I'm into Quality Retro 🇺🇸 Amps. But I'll have to pass on this one regardless of other notable brands using this board.
it's a cheater amp, only this time not favoring the costumer, this time it's in the manufacturers favor, lol
but really as far back as I can remember those pyramid amps were always garbage. I don't recall seeing anything by them that would be said to be iconic or overdelivering. excellent video and I'm glad you showed the guts because after the dyno results that was my first guess, massive heat sink, no guts
+www.GPcarAudio.com right, cheating the consumer for sure 👎
BigDWiz remember their 500 watt power boosters!! hahaha
Yep that's how they all were, what about those pyramid 15's! Most of that shite was sold via Jc Whitney catalogs I do believe.
666hobart sure was!!!
JC Whitney (or Warshawsky to Chicago natives), "fire sales" and every flea market I've ever been to. At least back then you could look at the tin box the size of a pack of cards and know there was no way that 500W was coming out if that.
Them guts were disrespectful! 😂😂😂😂
it sjould remain in THE SHADOWS🤣😃😃
STR8 UP!!!
That’s what I call a Pyramid scheme.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I imagine this is how counterfeit amps from the traveling flea markets are. 3000w amplifiers $39 !!!!! This Friday, Saturday & Sunday only in the old Circuit City, don't miss it!!!
I remember those radio commercials, "WE GOT IT ALL, KENFORD, ROCKWOOD, ALPINE, ROCKS FERD FOS GATE!"
@@chuckmiller5763 I saw kenfong and alpina at the Durant square in Oakland before.
Man that amp is efficient! And I bet it has great heat displacement. 😂
The transistors are not even touching the heat sink. what the ????????
@@chuckmiller5763 now yas might get the SWAP MEET mentality of the 80"s.... UGGGGGGG..... LOTS of swindlers selling empty boxes to unsuspecting consumers. THIS channel points that out well. Its still happening today but not hardly as much as in the 80's... I remember..... ENGINE NOISE CITY was the direct result of installing one of these products...
Ya that thing is actually a air-conditioning unit..😅😅
Pyramid Power ftw. Back in the 80's I used to be embarrassed walking over to the Pyramid vendor at the Flea Market to buy anything. But I did and bought some Super Pro 15's 😂.
+mustang6035 I had some Super Pro subs too, they were not bad
I never owner pyramid subs but I'm sure they're better than since of the stuff made today
I was around back in the Pyramid days and I really did expect a little more out of this thing.. What a Joker!!
now we all know why huh?.... INSTALLERS all knew.... we took em apart for fun just to see..... EMPTY SPACE....LOL.... Pyramid... PAR for their course sad to say.
Do you remember the Majestic Amps from the early 90s. I had a 500w mono powering a couple 10" bazookas! It slapped for what it was !
I had one of those initially on 2 15 Orion subs. Added 2 more and ran it at 2ohm mono. Until I switched it for a 250 hcca
I've been trying to tell people that stuff used to happen in flea market amps like Rockwood and stuff and now I have proof! ! haha awesome video once again.
Yeah, this is true deception. Heat sink looks cool, the rest is a joke
hey bdwiz I have a Polk Audio Carbon series 500.1 amp. To me it doesn't bump hard. I'm willing to give it to you, if you can test it.
This video is old but damn it had me in tears frfr. Especially when he opens it up. 💀💀😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
Yeah, it’s a classic. Too bad most people who bought these had no idea
The funny part is i bet they had 4 amps that used the same board in different size cases. Probably a 40x2 amp case was the original design then they just got silly.
I do recall ALOT of the guys were running PB600s, bridged on Fosgate 15s. Ran hot enough to grille food on, but got it done!
Amps were very expensive so you ran what you could
Lol, that was great. Pyramid really tanked on that one. I owned several Pyramids back in the day. PB-290, PB-600, PB-670G, and the current one I use, yes, current, lol, a PB-2400 D. I've had it about 14 years. It's stable to 1.3 ohms at 14.4 and has done actually pretty good. I had it hooked to four 18 inch Eminence Audio subs in my wagon 14 years ago wired to 1 ohm. It never blew a fuse and I hit 140db at a sound contest so, heck, I'm pumping two dual 2 ohm SKAR 10's with it now in my truck. It is what it is. It's still throwing the bass.
I don't know why but I cant stop watching this and it seems to get funnier every time! And when the back comes off the amp it's a wrap! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!
I repaired an amp years ago for a neighbor, it was also long like that all case no board. The board on his was the size of a piece of bread. On the outside it said something like super big power.
And we always believe what the outside of the amp says, right? Well, WE don’t, but unfortunately the unknowing doesn’t know any better
Wow. Send that to Steve Meade so he can mock it further...better yet, send it to Haggard Garage
Pyramid was a brand that would simply out to make quick cash from people who didnt know better. I would look at the Car Audio setup at London Drugs and wondered if anyone bought any of it. Pyramid lasted for many years so someone fell for them. -- Awesome review BigDWiz!
+ruffamaryders misleading buyers is not good for customer retention. Too bad this practice still goes on today 👎
To be fair, Pyramid stuff was always priced fairly for what you got. Back in the day we had a salvage electronics shop (sold used wire and such) that was also a Pyramid dealer and you could get a pair of 12s for like $19.99. I'd be surprised if that amp was more than $40 when it was new. Pyramid was one of those companies that was super famous for having an MSRP that was like 10x higher than what the stuff was actually priced at... Sorta like Harbor Freight. The stuff was always "on sale" at like "90% off".
Remember the beautiful pyramid amps made by PPI? They looked amazing, but seemed to be lower powered PPI AM versions. I bought a couple new over the years to look inside but they didn't have as many outputs or power supply fets as the normal PPI.
Yep. I remember those. The were almost as expensive as real ppi amps. May as well get the ppi
What model where those??
What evil lurks in the hearts of... Amp designers? The Shadow knows!
you get the prize...LOL
I always knew the old Pyles were a 3rd rate company but seeing the inside of this amp it looks like and the test result it looks like their a 4th rate company!!
The inside of that amp looked like my old Rockwood amp from back in the 90's except my Rockwood had 3 large pieces of lead inside.
I love that you lean back searching for divine intervention in incredulous disbelief... good clip. And you do it in front of the wall banner from Old School Stereo which features a pic of my all time favorite the Audio Art 100HC !
Omg Dereck I can't believe that old of an amp has never been untouched and unwrapped .
Now you see why....nobody wanted a 20" long amp that puts out 30 watts per channel
Dereck BigDWiz Oh yea but not wanting one that's totally functional that's crazy why somebody wouldn't want it
+Dereck BigDWiz LOL Nailed it!
Hahaha....Big D I bought one of those off of eBay a few years ago for about $25 brand new. I bought it because I like the old school look of it and never had any intentions of using it. One day I want to make me an amp wall with heatsinks and guts. Dude, as soon as I took it out of the box I noticed how lite it was. So, I immediately took it apart to see the guts. What a good laugh that was that day. So, I put it all back to together and boxed it back up. I still have it sitting in my closet and never powered it up...and probably never will. LOL!
Da rest of da guts in Ninja mode....lol 😆
I had a walk man with more guts.
The weights / Dynamic Ballasts are missing
when i was 16 (47now) i use to think a 100 watt pyramid was louder than a punch45....that lasted about a month.
👌😬👍
In the day I bought and owned a pyramid pb 300 . It was legit and actually had the hardware to do the 150 rms. It was actually rated 75x2. Hooked to a set of Jensen dvc 10's. Lol for the time it didn't sound bad....
It's impressive how they could consume 270 watts of power to feed out 70! Guess you got a bonus, a 200 watt space heater to go with your tunes!
But, when you payed 20 dollars for a 300 watt amp at London Drugs (Not this amp specifically, but a Pyramid) you couldn't seriously expect 300 watts. It was peak ratings which for them meant the moment the casing melted off the internal wiring XD
Still, if you realized this and were cleaver in your application, you could get some reasonable results. Never needed to worry about anyone stealing your junk and still had clean music you could hear on the highway with the windows down. I never locked the doors on my car, so I never had a broken window!
+atsernov this is why I have a Boss sticker on my car window...no chance anyone would waste their time stealing a Boss amp 😝
Lol back in the day I'd probably buy it solely on the size of the amp thinking it's big and loud
A friend had a amp back when we were kids that fried on him. When he opened it up it was the same thing a little amp board with a huge heatsink.
Its doing the rated power.
Back in the day I was told rule of thumb was PMPO rating is four times that of RMS and 'Max Input' was twice that of RMS. 300w PMPO (75wrms) is exactly as advertised.
+Andrew HIGGINBOTTOM that's one way to look at this as "glass half full" marketing
Oh it was total bullshit marketing. Every time I saw PMPO ratings it basically told me that it was a cheapo product aimed at unsuspecting consumers. I was just pointing out that the amp is actually outputting what it says on the box.
Big D !!! Great video but sadly thats NOT PYRAMID. first line was Phase 111 , then Gold Series, Competition, Super Blue & Super Pro.
Used to love the Super Blue subs.👍👍 Stay away from Pyramid amplifiers.
🤣
jr1001jr heck we had a set up 8 12’s on a PYRAMID PB600 ,2ohm stereo drive , hit a 152 . Set up was in a 92 S10 Blazer .
Id get a mini amp that can do some decent power and use the body of the pyramid.
😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣 Oh wow! Never thought of seeing an amplifier with guts like that! That's freaking crazy! 😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣
Yeah, pretty weak
This one answers first starting out and everybody has six by nines everybody help to the speakers back then you put that sucker on some 6x9s boy you with the man
Some people still live the by-nine lyfe
Man if u can find Sherwood amps to test them was like low budget amp but not on the low end like pyramid and some others
Ah Pyramid, a byword for quality in the car audio world! That they only give the PMPO rating says it all really
I use to work at a Stereo shop in Hawaii 1990-1993 called Electronic Entertainment. There was a customer that came in our shop for an Car stereo install but with his own equipment. He had 2 of these Pyramid P.O.S.(Piece Of Shit) amps and 4x 10in GS "Redline" subwoofers...each Sub at lease 500w for decent running power required and an Alpine deck I forgot the model no#.anyways, this customer was from the east coast Mainland we hooked it all up and OF COURSE it sounded like an Am radio from the 50s..lmao. We were all baffled..So we tried different polarity dropping the impedance and it got WORSE!. So one of our Techs took the Amp out of the car to check its guts.....and Walla....The same circuit board shown in this video but with a twist....the Car Stereo dealer that sold him the Amps put weights..yes, "Weights"!!! In the Amp to give it a nice heaviness to it. So it must be good because its freaking heavy right..lol. $Cost$ per Amp $300.00ea. $1 per watt....Man that customer was PISSED..He spend $600.00 on the Amps and $150.00 on our install charge. He literally had a Gun in his glove box and took it out and told us he was going to drive to the other Stereo dealership and Shoot the salesman that sold him the Amps....Sorry, I had to share my story to you...fun memories back in the days..I like your channel keep it up Brother. 🖒🖒...oh P.S. Customers car was a Maserati. I forgot the model. Lol.
+Ioane Luteru this is classic!! 🤣🤣🤣
Mark Becker.... I worked for him for a spell there.... JOHN EMINGER..... remember him?..... he was the best on the island back in the EE days.... building entire constructs into trunks.... BAFFLES... PORTS.... Sadly the peruvian marching powder ended that place..... LOL..... Hi Mark.... great times..... the 80's & 90's..... This is DAVE... from ONE CALL INSTALL...... HOWZIT!!!!
I had a bigger one by pyramid back in 1991 , all heatsink and no guts , same thing, took up 2 feet space
Pioneer also had an amp like that back in the day. It was a silver amp with a red led strip in the middle. I remember because my cousin wanted to sell me that amp and his friend told me the board was like half the size so I opened it up and whata u know lol. Just like this one.
I have the same amp just got it like 2 weeks ago and it was brand new in a box I already open it and yes have the same problem with the RCA
It’s a joke of an amp
I had a Pyramid 600 big ol' amp was stuffed under my driver seat, barely fit. Was given to me, had it repaired, and the guy that repaired it hacked at it (put in better components maybe?) and it was a great amp, distorted if you turned it up too much but probably due to the "Hotwiring" to make it *better*!
I had a Rockwood so big that it had a handle to carry. Same old shit bro . I have seen everything lol
That's Pyramid for you! :D
I remember cheap JDL amps did the same thing except a weight was added to the lite side.
+MrLaserpowered balancing act 😜
Yep, exactly like the "Rockwood" amps from flea markets. "Rock"ford and Sher"wood" made baby amps.
even when I knew NOTHING about car audio at 15 I clearly realized that Pyramid was the cheapest made and would never buy. Although my first setup was putting (wedging) a box with 4 15" subs and 4 horn tweets in the back seat of my 84 t-bird. The amp was fried after a couple months and the sound had no bass even with the super generic 15's.
Reminds me when rockwood first came out
As well as Kenford!
Targa amps
I remember PMPO (Peak Music Power Output)!! We used to call it ILS (if lightning strikes). at least you know the amp won't get hot! Plenty of cooling! lol...
+jsawhite you said it
😄😄😄 I opened another brand amp back in the day and it was the same way. It was blue or red, I think. Just some random cheapo brand. We all had a good laugh in the install bay!
The best amp they put out was the PRO series. Which was made by PPI, of course. 😉
Danny Caballero super pro, all white and i heard the 2×300slamming 2 jbl's at a local shop in the early 90's
Beastly!! Must've sounded amazing too. Also, the early JBL GTi's were some of the best sounding subs, and my personal favorite. 👍
Pyramid, never disappoints 😃
Or always disappoints?
maybe u can scrap all the guts and install new guts from a newer amp would look cool
and you wonder why it was still brand new in the box lol? still cool to see some old amps in great condition, no matter what the dyno results are
+Todd Olshock my thoughts too. Plus this one makes for a great conversation piece 👍
That deserves to be blown up Big D!!!
Kind of shocked. Pyramid makes insane home amps.
+Robby Wallace really?
weird. the shadow line of subs pyramid put out were beefy.
We got it now but back then we were really scrapping a big amp was 400. Add expense of let me tell you for around $500 you get a 400 watt amp.
The old school no-name amps were silly bad compared to today. If you think Power Acoustik is bad now, you should have seen what they were putting out in the 90's.
Depends on what you bought and what you expected. I had a '200w" Power Acoustik (PA2-200? 50x2@4, 100x1@4, 200x1@2) amp on a set of 6.5s and it did the job more than fine. Even the crossover functions on it worked well. I sold it and a Blaupunkt 10" (just a cheap Best Buy sub) to a friend and he was happy with it too. For $79 new, back in 1996, it was a completely decent amp. I also had a buddy that was running whatever the "big" Power Acoustic was (which was like $250-300... and that was back when a PPI A600 was $600 and a Punch 200 was $450) on a pair of Kicker 10s and it seemed to have plenty of power to spare. If he would have told me it was a Punch, PPI, MTX, etc amp I would have believed him. He was super happy with it.
Since then I've been all over the map on gear and have some fairly expensive stuff from premium brands and I would still say my Power Acoustik was probably the best value I ever got out of an amp that I bought new.
Our shop sold Power Acoustik. Believe me, their amps were very far under their rated power. Even if you took price into consideration. Boss amps at the time were nearly 2x the power output for the same price. That said, I've always appreciated their speakers.
LMAO Man I got an old amp like that laying around still. I'll have to dig it out cuz I can't remember the brand name but it has a full size chassis like that one, a full size PCB, and then has a tiny IC like you'd see in a head unit! It is a two channel amp and there are spots on the PCB where a second IC would go for the four channel model. Labeled as 600 watts I bet it wouldn't even do a tenth of that! GREAT VID AS USUAL
had plenty of room to make the rcas work right but still crammed them between the power and speaker terminals. joker was right when you started to open it
+Kuntry72 yeah, bad design, but most amps in 1989 used Molex plugs, so at least they went the terminal strip route, even if the RCA measurements were a "whoops"
Proof that Pyramid has ALWAYS been trash!!!!!
THATS NOT Pyramid.. their first amps were the GOLD SERIES , and PRO PlUS . SUPER BLUE, SUPER PRO, & COMPETITION .
@@txknightrider82you know your old school amps...i had a pyramid super blue 670g on two annihilator 12s one svc...one dvc... in a coffin size 3/4 plywood box in an 78 regal 20 years ago that beat 2 trucks with four 12 orion setups that had two 225hcca's ....made by a local audio shop in my neighborhood. i was invited to their party just to challenge me to a bass off....they were pissed when i beat them...and were estatic when they found out about my setup. they went back to complain to the shop owner. they didnt know that o had modified that amp to never shut down and to handle1.5 ohm. it was a copy of the earthquake pa 2150 and the hifonics boltar. korean i think....they looked the same inside but the 670g had cheesy fuses and wiring that i ripped out. i also eemoved the thermal limit switch so it never shut off in 2yeara i ran it...$200 at the flea market. got a earthquake pa2150 so i sold it..
looked identical throughout
the bag and the box😅😅 was worth more
Jaime awesome, I ran SUPER BLUE PB670 at 2 ohm bridge & it took it & wouldn’t get hot. them amps were the bomb !! Pushed two 15’ & two 12’s . Super Pros also.
@@txknightrider82 And they were all junk. Including the ones PPI made for them.
thats my car stereo in a giant box. looks like it has a lot of channels. Probably pretty good for door speakers.
The nerve of those designers to compound the insult by calling it the "shadow" edition. Lol, hilarious.
+90blacknight lots of room for shadows in there 👎
pyramid is for sure low grade...but in their defence I did buy the model pb 800 to temporarily replace my hifonics atlas. mono amp. it had just as much power and sounded crisper. This was 1993
see if you can find a Sherwood 240 bp to test thst was my first amp in 1992
that
Robert Carroll yes I'm waiting for the same thing those amps were indestructible I ran several those throughout my years and never once that I had one fail at least the black ones
Robert Carroll 240 was my 2nd amp. 180 was my first it powered two mtx 12's and two phase linear 8's and I have no idea what impedance I was running it at. I'm pretty sure that it was hooked up wrong but it still did the job.
My first amp was a Targa Hexfet with 150 watts/channel (I think). Be interested to see it dyno'd. Seemed to be underpowered.
The Sherwood 70 x 70 was a great amp too.
This was funny....sure glad I never bought a Pyramid back in my youth. Along the lines of these highly exaggerated power output claims, would you consider putting a modern headunit on the ol' dyno? I'm sure I am not the only one interested to see what they can actually deliver these days. Thanks for all the great info and entertaining videos!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Great suggestion too 🤙
love watching your gig...learned so much.
+john mcginley the more you watch, the more you will learn what a big dummy I am 😜
I would love to see the old school boss Ripper 99.5. I had that thing hooked up to 2 Orion XTR 12 Series 2 DVC and I'm telling you it surprised me all the time that amp just kept given power no matter what
I have memories of Boss making some decent gear in the old days. As far as I know, the Blade series was the last "good" equipment they made.. At least in terms of subwoofers. Those bastards could handle good power, they were well made (used good quality coils and non-pressed paper cones), and had a ton of Xmax.
Was a really nice looking heatsink though!
I had a PB800 that was pretty strong, it was red and 4ch but would bridge to 2ch.
Do you have any pictures of it, manuals etc? thanks
Remember that old tv show...only the shadow knows....
I was laughing hard when you took that bottom off
the laws of mathematics says there shouldn't be no difference but I would still like to see it on the ad1
Pyramid was always a cheap brand. I used to have a Pyramid eq/booster with a Pyramid radio with a tape deck and speakers. Back in the late 80's when I didn't know any better.
+Dj Kamikaze we all learn, at least you put in an aftermarket stereo and didn't stay w/ the factory junk
No guts no glory. I remember many years ago finding a steel plate in one.
Yeah those scammers!
Pyramid was big in Urban areas in the Nyc tri state area back in the day. People who were really up on their knowledge knew they were overated. Also cheap in price. I've owned a couple in the past to get me thru till I was able to buy higher quality.
Dat is amazing cuz. How much did it go for back in the day?
The amps is decreasing, but your videos edition is increasing a lot!!!
that's pyramid for ya. I remember this amp.
I remember an ad where Pyramid was making fun of "other" amp manufacturers for putting small circuit boards into bigger heatsinks, but I could not find the ad. I was going to put it in the video
Old purple mobile authority amps did the same with their amps, long heat sinks with only a small board.
Yeah, these were the real “cheater” amps of the day
i love it i like to have it on my wall ill try n find one some were lol i may mod it with a new board
We had to run external crossover back then most systems had eq crossover
hahahahahahahaha that was awesome, that amp is a comedian!!!
The old school subs where good but the amps lacked power , I kinda like the way this amp looks
cubanman2009 yeah stuff the guts from a punch 150 in it and you have something.
It's 300 w pmpo so around 30 rms . So technically this amp does rated and more
+J Audio Car audio 🤔
I'm pleased someone else finally noticed that.
Those were flea market specials. No wiring needed. Just plug into cigarette lighter! :P
Fun fact: Much of Radio Trash I meah Shack's auto sound line was rebadged Pyramid products.
Pyramid did make some decent amps that exceeded stated power claims, but the vast majority of their amps were total crap that could barely make 10% of the claim, like we see with this one.
Remember the guy that brings you this amp expecting the trunk to rattle ? How do you handle that ? Lol
HIGHER LEVEL CHANNEL loosen up some bolts.
PYRAMID.... of all the companies that took a dive it was surely TENNA....... TENNA/PYRAMID. The ORIGINAL MINDBLOWER SYSTEM was created by TENNA for the public in 1976?.... MINDBLOWERS.... Amplified 6x9 speaker set with remote operation... even had an optional EQ you could add to the system. Some of the earliest memories in the late 70's was my 70 Challenger with them MINDBLOWERS in back. When I bought that car them speakers were already in there BUT there was WIRES hanging from them so I decided to hook it all up and WOW what a DIFFERENCE.... MINDBLOWERS were quite possibly the best sounding 6x9 speaker system out there at the time.... Of course there was AUDIOMOBILE and ZAPCO.... BUT BANG for the BUCK surely went to the TENNA MINDBLOWERS. TENNA.... eventually became PYRAMID. TENNA was a ANTENNA company that primarily made HAM RADIO gear..... Gotta hand it to them for seeing the NEW WAVE of car audio possibilities and running with it., SADLY It seems PYRAMID became a MARGIN based operation and that "AMP" there tells THAT story LOUD and CLEAR. THUS..... Pyramid will go down in history as "being there"..... and then forgetting why..... I wonder if they are still in business.... MEMORIES....
the "classic" Pyramid amplifier........ CLASS P..... yuck....
bigDiwiz sei un mito questo ampli è la vergogna del caraudio
LMAO ouch that must of hurt! Pyramid!! Thanx for the great work bro.
No wonder no one opened it for 27 yrs
+bassmansoundking99 LMAO I know right
I should have sent you my Mitsubishi amp that was bnib for some testing. I have opened both that I purchased.
BTW, that gut shot is hilarious lol
