[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 132951, member: 126"] Re: Crest Pro-Lite Questions - Two 3.0 bridged or one 7.5 for a pair of Danley TH118 I'll show you heavy amps... My dad used to work for WE and I found an old circa 1930s WE amp in the basement years ago. It was something like a few watts, but filled up 5-6' of 19" eia rack space. In the '70s I decided to make my own "heavy" 4x250W amp. So I gutted just the PS section of that WE amp about 2' tall and used that for my modern (cough) solid state amp. I bolted a 65# power transformer inside the already heavy steel chassis with several pounds of aluminum heat sink for good measure. My judgement is that if a thief decides to steal my amp I will have to hold the door for him because he will surely need both hands to lift it. :-) JR PS Not a great picture but amp is still in my living room and worked the last time I turned it on.
