Old Fosgate Power 650 Amplifier : Fix, Sell, or Discard
My brother in law recently gave me his Fosgate Power 650. Just 2
years ago it was pounding four 8" bazookas in his Mustang. I never thought 4 small bazookas could feel so good. Anyway, the amp changed hands a couple of times. Apparently, something happened to it during another install and one of the intermittent owners opened it up and attempted to fix it. It was given to me with the heatsink detached. I looked at the circuit board and didn't see anything broken or missing. I noticed all of the internal fuses were still intact. What should I do with this beast? I found a site called Spectronics that does repair on high end amps. They have a flat rate of $50 labor plus parts then add shipping. Would it be wise to send it out for repair? Is there a market for an Old School Fosgate amp needing repair? Is it even worth the effort to fix or sell? Thanks, Brooke |

those are stellar amps IMHO.
Heres a really nice one on ebay, might want to track it and see what it goes for. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3067261441 Hope this helps, Garrett "bsguidry" wrote in message om...
