from what I found about that memphis amp, its essentially the same as the PG one you traded it for, power wise..

I know nothing about either amp except what the web says their ratings are, roughly 1000w x 1

so what was the point of trading one amp for something that is essentially the same?? Does it fit your setup better?

I just dont see the reason as to why you would trade away the memphis, especially when you are trading apples for more apples....you dig?

I agree, there does not seem to be much of a difference between those two amps. Both Memphis and PG are quality brands, and both put out equal amounts of power (at diferent resistances).

If there is any way to back out of that deal, you may want to consider it..

yeah....that bit about "and 700"....makes me believe you are about to take a ride up the good old sh*t's creek..

the reason being you're essentially paying for new amp with the 700 beans, and then basically handing over your Memphis as some sort of dowry to the dealer...


You'd be better gettin it back and sellin it here, you'll get a few hundred in your pocket that way at least...
