Are these Korean/ Chinese or what ever? Needs paint, but perfect numbers to drive 4 tweets. Please advise.

Built back in 94ish, made in the USA. I almost had the 5 ch Saphire, but someone else beat me to it by about 3 hours back in the day.

Those Sapphires are sturdy little bastards. Not as amazing as the MS series, but easily good for their rated power. AFAIK they are the predecessor to QX, which is the predecessor to Octane-R. I could be wrong on that though, they could just as well be more aligned with the XS and Tantrum amps.

I think, that was PG's first "entry level" amp. The guy that got me hooked on PG back in the day sold me my first M25. He replaced it with the MS series amps for himself and installed the Sapphire in his wife's geo tracker. Wow, that was a long time ago.

Sapphire's are good to go. I want the 1.5x...... :cry:
I think we've established that "Ka Ka" and "Tukki Tukki" don't work.
