Heavent heard of Big Rig and have heard of CustomCB Radios. Wouldn't do business with GI Joes(past experience). Probably looking to buy at tax time, so have some time yet. Still searching. Opinions welcome. Thank you.

I seriously think TS is slowly winding down the 1600 amp.
You may not be able to get later.
My opinion. But availability is up and down like yo-yo..

At this point amplifier production is limited by the availability of finals for most builders unless they have a supply built up. It's kinda looking like HG is going to be the only choice here sooner then later.
I hope TS does not wind down the sweet 16. The HG transistors are working for all of the builders now and are cheap and easy to get. It is the most classic all time of CB amps. The name alone is unforgettable Here are some more options:

Call first these links look really old.

There are people buying amps on e bay just to salvage the Toshiba transistors.
I have seen a few sweet sixteens with DEI transistors as well as the HG branded ones.
Now days I would want the seller to snap a picture of the inside before laying down the cash.

Yes I have seen both the new ones. I am not against it. Im no tech but after years of not being manufactured and selling for what i see as a ridiculous amount of money for something now really old like red dots. To me good stuff is worth it, to a point.
I think the HGs will be accepted and work well. I don't see the advantage to salvage an old amp for the Toshibas. Old unknown Toshibas are hardly risk free. It's time to move on. I sure wish the LDMOS amps would be accepted by the comp guys.
I was searching for amps and came across LDMOS amp boards but its for 50 volts from what it looks like but it was fairly cheap for the amount of power 1,2,3 KW and he did say something about dropping the volts. I did ask if he would make it into a mobile and he wouldn't lol. This is way off my expertise though.
I see copper has listed a “DX350THDV”....other words, a DX350 with Toshibas. $350.

Thankfully, I blew my discretionary budget this month. Don’t “need” it, but . . . .
