Nice, ive been using the same one st500d for about 8 yrs now without a problem. Been trying to pick up another so i can run 2 idq12's of of them. Picked up a jbl bp1200.1 but doesnt fit in my truck the way i want to.

 

good luck on finding another, i cant part with mine, i bought it from a friend for $50, he had it 2 10's just like i have and they pounded. if your interested, i do have an old orion hcca 225 that i bought off ebay for $100. i've never hooked it up, the guy i bought it from said he tested it, ive never even tested it.

 

You stole that one. Ebay has them for 100-150.
