The amps were mounted on a 45 degree angle. A x604 and a x1001. The x1001 was running two Eclipse aluminum 12's in a sealed box about a foot away. The shockwave of the subs rattled the main caps right off the circuit board. PS, Jeff, get out here dooder. Need help badly.

My friend and part timer here at the store got the rescue call for that ferry sinking. They scrambled 4 Cormorants and Buffalo's from the CFB Comox here and headed out immediately thinking it was a worst case scenario. That ferry in the summer is usually 100% packed, instead of the 95% empty that it was. The potential for disaster there was huge. By the time they arrived, all the Sartechs were geared to go in parachutes and swimming gear, turns out that they were not needed as the local Indian Band had pretty much done the job by then. Absolutely bloody amazing at how this unfolded. Being so close to this we hear way more than the rest of the population does. I guess this means that the new ferries are going to be coming sooner rather than later now, I think they need a full AV system....

I'm off today but I need to go into town to finalize the sale of my 280SL. I'll make some calls and see what I can do. Rob, I'll PM you when I find out. How many 450/4s do you need?
There is no such thing as free installation!

Very cool!  My relatives in the Pacific Northwest know about that water, having lived on it for centuries.  Do you have a link to the story as I'd like to read more about this.

Go to this site and start searching from there. This ferry terminal is about a 3 hour drive from me. Anyone going up island from me, passes my store. That local indian band was paramount in saving lives. Hats off to all of them. From waking up at 12:30 am when they heard the mayday call, every single one of them got out of bed and started to get things ready for people to arrive. Unbloody beleivable. Nothing but respect for all of them.

450/4 in chrome, looking for 3 of them. I'm calling Zapco today to see if they will polish the aluminum heatsinks on three amps right away. If they will, chances are that is where the job is headed. Time will tell I guess. We had a customer get knocked unconscious here yesterday, he saw the sub, slipped on the drool on the floor as we had not mopped it up yet, and knocked his head on the basket of the sub. When he came to he passed out again. MAN O MAN are they ever nice. I expected them to be much heavier and deeper than they are. They actually look small by comparision to the Eclipse Titanium drivers. Wierd. Brain Fart, Need Chrome Amps - Page 2 -- posted image.
