Don't know if it's a factory re-furb. Looked brand new to me. But no, I haven't tried that yet. I'll try that on my lunch.

Well, I tried it with the speaker un-hooked, and it toasted the fuse. So... anyone have any suggestions for a good SQ amp?? I like Zapco's stuff, I also like PPI's art series. Lookin gor about 400 watts RMS, <$500, good quality, and NOT Phoenix Gold.

PG makes great amps. Just don't buy questionable stuff off eBay. Get your gear from a reputable, lisenced dealer.

Just as a note, most of the other installers I know, agree that with a DVC sub, the amp should be wired in mono. I just read an article from CA&E from last year that also states never wiring a separpate VC of a DVC to a single channel of an amp. If one channel pushes slighty more power than the other, you greatly increase the chance of ruining a DVC. Thought you should know....

You would be correct. If you wire a DVC in stereo, you run a risk of damaging it. But that was not a concern for me as I have/had a mono-block amp.
