Re: 12 kw 160-12m amp for sale.

A dual motor Tesla does 234km/h (145mph). That is illegal but we are all encouraged to buy one.

We take on a build of a big amp to prove that we can do it. That's why I've built a YC156 amp and helped to build another. At our limit of 400W PEP, it is running in Class A.
