    NOS Texas Star 12 Guage DX 1200 Value (still in plastic)

    Ok so a buddy of mine used to run the DX-1200 in his tri-axel when I was driving a dump truck , It screamed but it got beaten to death and died . He then retired and I bought most of his gear and passed on the beat up 12 Gauge . I ran into him for the first time in years and he told me he forgot...

    Rocketbox info thread !!! Made in the USA with a reasonable pricetag !

    I actually found a "Cub Bear 225" that I have had for a few years with a very similar board layout ! I knew the 500 board looked familiar for some reason . I guess unless you get into high dollar amp builds its pretty much the same as most modern electronics . Clones and rebrands , Im always...

    Rocket Box 1000XL

    Hey snippits is this true ? I am talking with a dude in Vegas that claims to be "Rocketbox" I have also made a thread based on the info I have gathered . I believe he designs the boards but outsources ONLY the construction of the board itself with the traces he designed . He then receives them...
