    IMO I would just spend the extra and get a new one, have them put the toshiba 2879's in it. It will cost more, but you have an amp that you know hasn't been used improperly by someone else. Unless you find a great deal on one that you can test before purchase that is. JMO. God bless.

    And as far as brand, xforce, TNT, or Dave made. Dave made amps are great amps as well, pretty much where all the others took the idea from anyway. But the others I listed are good amps as well. Just not a fan of the DEI transistors, although if tuned correctly and not overdriven should perform fine, I just know the toshiba's are more forgiving and IMO a much better transistor.

    Make sure you tell them you want Toshibas otherwise it will come with DEIs.

    DEI's are not bad really unless your volting up on amp or using for competition. Soon you be no longer able to get Toshiba's, so if really like better buy a few extra at RF Parts because DEI's are going to be the new wave of future with transistors.

    10-4. I run DEI. Went with them because of the reasons you stated. I will say that the data sheet says 100wpep and they mean 100wpep.

    I would look for one with toshiba transistors and also I would get a straight 4 pill, no driver, this way you will not overdrive the amp with most radios. If you are set on a 1x4, have it setup as 1 2290, driving 4 2879's. Like 856 stated let them know you want toshiba transistors, that is unless you are good with the DEI transistors. JMO. God bless
