The old ecd series of units that Eclipse made were awesome. They had a vacuum tube display, low output impedance and high voltage. They were one of the originators of high voltage and low impedance. No bells and whistles to complicate the sound or extra heat to make things run cooler.

alot of older eclipses eventually developed problems reading discs, though. I loved my old ecd, but it eventually got to the point where it would read a disc 1/100 times or so..
I'm afraid of widths.

Very true but I was skeptical about it since I have never heard of that model but I can sure tell you i think I stole this one

I thought it had power outputs but its has to have an amp its just like my alpine but alot cleaner and crisper sounding

Be forewarned. The guy turned out to be less than honest. HighVoltage and ssims were the same person. Check the buyer and seller rating section, there is a thread with the info in it.

Thanks you sir very much for looking out. I did found the topic a little after I posted this. :oops: . The things that looks like my 415 I sold on ebay a while back. I have a few of these units (a 416, 415, 3-414 and a 412 and a couple of 414 and 415 for parts) I was looking to pict these to up.
