Just thought I’d give you guys a heads up on the JBL amps on liquidation... the prices are incredible (and include shipping) and would make great sub amps as they are bridgeable... but there are catches:
The amplifiers in question are JBL MPC200 (200Wx2 @8ohms 143$ shipping included) and MPC300 (300Wx2 @8ohms 193$ shipping included), which were originally manufactured by QSC and are the same as the QSC-CX4 and QSC-CX6. They are unfortunately 220V units for the export market but can easily be rewired for 120V as they are internally equipped to handle both 120V and 220V. I posted the question on the QSC tech forum at
http://www.qscaudio.com/cgi-bin/ulti...c;f=2;t=000006
JBL is liquidating these amps directly at their Tent Sale as Harmon now sells (owns) Crown amps. They have about 90units left... as well as two slightly higher end (but still 220V) MPA275 and MPA750. I don't know if the MPA series can be as easily rewired though.
The link is:

The other catch is that the sale is for US mailing addresses only, which could be a pain in the butt for us Canadians. I hope this can be of some use to someone...
I've ordered a MPC200 but haven't received it and tried the voltage mod yet. If it all works out, these are a steal.
Later...
