Gooserider amp


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

@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". :whistle::ROFLMAO:

Change America to Canada while you're at it.

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.
