This amp is one of the older ones by Cadence around 1999. It pushes real clean power and if you are using it to play your mid-highs it should be a good choice. It won't do much justice to subs but is good looking since it is chrome.

I had a cadence z100 "overdrive" amp pushing a Dr. Crankenstein 10". That was eons ago, but man did it sound good. I can't find any dealers up here in canuckville that sell em though. :(

I am not looking to push my subs with it. But, pushing a set of MTX thunder 6000 components and MA 6.5 two ways. I will let you know how it sounds once I get it hooked up.
