	I don't own one, but JBLman owns several MINT condition ones and swears by them. I have the 450 and it sounds very sweet on any duty. Should imagine bridged would be very noisy ;) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280472481163&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT these look good.

	Of course the other option you have shaney is to buy a ppx1600,that will give 2x830w into 4 ohms (or 2x1100 into 2) to run subs,you should easily get one for £200 if you dont mind a few scratches.
	Be seeing you.

	i did consider that but would prefer a bit more for each of my gsubs... hence why i suggested the 900's bridged. the proline i have at the min is slightly 'unreliable' lets say... and i have a thing for old skool amps :]

	When bridging these amps can you just plug the XLR's into the back and switch to Bridge, or do you have to wire tails across the terminals? I do not have a manual, so was just checking. I take it pin 2 is hot aswell? Anyone remember when pin 3 was hot?

	You have to use both the Red terminals binding posts,and Channel A becomes the positive.
	Be seeing you.
