Never heard of this Amp

its a MEI DA8275
Amp - 2 Channel Bridgeable design ultra stable PWM power supply variable subwoofer crossover high current output devices
Multi-Mode Power amplifier with MOSFET power supply
150W + 150W MONO Bridgeable
you can see a picture here

it does a great job of beating this speaker
in a day cab..

i'm just wondering, is it a good amp, ok or bad?
and what does 150W + 150W MONO Bridgeable?$
$75 a good deal?
good and bad comments please

not for 75.00. That amp is about 15 years old, is of average to low end quality as MEI was a mid/low end manufacturer back in the day. Hell, I haven't seen an MEI product in at least 10-15 years. To their defense, I did have a few of their products ( an eq/booster) 22 years ago that did a good job and never gave any problems, but for 75.00 you can probably get a high quality brand in the for sale section that delivers 75x2 (that's what the rms power is of that amp). I remember selling an MTX 2x75 amp a few years ago for about that much in mint condition. If it works and you're happy with it, then that's all that matters. Have fun!

With all the respect in the world to veeman, my opinion of MEI is much lower...

My very first amp 13 years ago was an MEI... 2 x 50 watts if I remember... picked it up at a pawn shop for $20... worked for a while... got my $20 worth out of it.

looks like a lot of you guys are older than I thought! Mei is in the same category as Legacy, Realistic (radio shack), etc...but better than Pyramid!

Yeah. I had my first car in 1992. Along with those MEI tweets, which I ran off the deck, I had two 10" Earthquakes with Alphasonic amp. I really had no idea what I had then, but it made some racket, and thats all that mattered In 1992-93 I remember going through stuff by Profile, Audivoxx, Pro Blue, Pyle, Crunch and other real winners. My first HU was a Kenwood tape deck. After that, I went through several Alpines in a row.

What da hell am I going on about... Way off topic... Anywho... Lets move on...
