Manual says 800rms... and the only internal pic I found suggest the PSU is a little on the weedy side. I have a 400w amp with the same size PSU and I doubled up on caps for my own peace of mind.

If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down.

Been offered a few at a very good price and they kind of remind me of TOA power amps that are bomb proof!

1 per bin might be ok... if they are cheap as chips have a punt

I have some Ramsa amps and I must say that they are some of the best built amps I have. Whatch the caps. They may need replacing. Otherwise built like a brick sh#t house. Panasonic is the parent company or was. I heard they don't make them anymore. Old ones Sanken fets newer NEC I think. ELNA caps. Should be fine if you sevice them. Not power monsters.
My WP 9150 's have 27 screws holding the top cover on. Bit OTT.

No, mine are all 200w into 4r so bit pointless. I use them to run comps. They do sound ok. As I said I don't think that they are ment for 4r bridge. I think that they are really designed for installs. They will last eaons at low volume in a fitness gym or meeting hall. Wouldn't think that they will rinse the bass out fabric style for very long. Still a very well built amp though.
