SD1300.1 Found one local, thoughts/concerns

Post by smgreen20 »

As I was browsing for some PG gear, I came across an SD1300.1 in overall decent shape. A few scuffs and 2 of the mounting feet are broke/cracked, but still there. They're asking $200. Not sure of it's MSRP, but does it seem like a good price for a 7.5/10 cosmetilly, 10/10 performance?

I miss having/using PG and I'd much rather run that then the Audiopipe APMI-1500 that I currently am.

I had a hard time selling my 9.5/10 SD1300.5 with box, paperwork, bass remote and receipt for $200. I'd say the 1300.1 in the condition you described above would be about $150. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of love for the SD amps even though they're solid little amps that put out above rated power.

It's at a pawn shop, but also listed on ebay. I'm sure there might be some wiggle room on the price. When I have the money in hand I'll go in and haggle the price some.

Thanks for your insight. Might I ask what the birth sheet said it did if you remember?

My amp didn't come with a birthsheet. I used an o-scope to set my gains, which allowed me to find the max voltage before clipping. I can't remember what voltage it was, but I recall it being more than listed in the manual when I calculated wattage. You should expect to see about 10% more than listed IIRC.
