Small 2ch amp with 12v trigger

Toxis

I'm changing a couple things up and need a small 2ch amp to run a DVC outdoor speaker. Want a 12v trigger so my receiver can turn it on when needed. Not looking to build a power outlet/strip with a trigger wire. Doubt I need more than 30-50w/ch. whatcha got? Email me details at Toxis2k at gmail. Thanks!

Hi. I have a Sherbourn amp that would work for you. Its been for sale in the flea market for a while. Here's the link: http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?149631-Sherbourn-LDS2-75-Amp-100wpc-x-2-8-ohms.-Bridgable!!

Bought this a couple months ago to drive my front height speakers (RT35's). I've replaced it with another Sherbourn amp that has xlr inputs (a TST-4). Works great, I bought it as new for $125. It has a small scratch on top, that was there when I opened the box. Didn't affect use or performance so I didn't gripe. A black Sharpie would fix it, but full disclosure. This amp is half-width by 1U and can be bridged to 150wpc @ 8 ohms.

This thing has lots of guts. Can drive two pairs of 8 ohm speakers. Lots of pro-installer features, like 12v trigger, music sense trigger, line and RCA inputs, RCA outputs to daisy-chain additional amps, output level control, and and Sherbourn's LDS (Load Detection System) that senses speaker shorts or impedance that is too low. It has a microprocessor that performs this function.

This thing is a lot heavier than it looks. Has a huge toroidal transformer in it. (Look at the pix to see the size of this thing!) I do have the manual.

You may also know that Sherbourn is owned by the parent company of Emotiva. They have re-focused their marketing to go direct-to-consumer via the net, so expect to see more Sherbourn gear around soon.

I paid $125 shipped to my door. It's yours for that shipped in CONUS. If you live near ATL, we can do a local pick up with a discount for shipping cost.

PM me with your email if you need more pix. My eBay ID is 'rtinatl', with lots of 100% positive feedback over twelve plus years. I've also bought and sold a lot of gear here and on the Emo forum under the same user ID, 'rtart'.

Any under $100 and a little less power? Otherwise, I'll snag this one.

Try this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sherbourn-2-100A-Audio-Video-Amplifier-/130945825708?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preamps&hash=item1e7cfabbac

$64 shipped in CONUS. This is the same place I bought mine.

That's crazy cheap but I don't see any specs online about it. Only place referencing a manual is a 404 error and someone says the manual doesn't list power. But for what I'm doing, not sure I need much.

Toxis

Also just heard back that he does not have the speaker plugs. Are they proprietary to Sherbourn or can I find others that will work?

Toxis

Anyone have something they can recommend then? Sub $100 ideally...

I think I'm gonna go with an onkyo or Niles 2ch amp off eBay.
