I just got an L.A. Sound 4 Channel amplifier, model number S835, it was given to me by my uncle, I tested it with a 6x9 and a PC power supply and all the channels seem to work, it's supposedly 800 watts (max I'm assuming), has anyone ever heard of L.A. Sound or used any of their amplifiers? Were they any good?

Can't get much better than this: http://www.carsound.com/review_archive/amps/s835.html

So it's a bit overrated and is actually about a 40 watt x 4 amp. I wouldn't say it's top of the line.

Yeah I found that page, I'm thinking it's 40 x 4 RMS, but somewhere else on the page it says 60 x 4, so I'll just have to try it and see, but all I know is it's probably much better than the built in amp in my Vr3 headunit (crap, I know, but it was free).

They actually made some good gear in the late 80s/early 90s. They had some funky artwork and all had beach names; nothing like the amp you have there.

yeah the manual and what the comany wrote for the specs on the amp were 60rms x 4 @ 4 ohms but after someone bench tested it they only got 40rms x 4 @ 4 ohm as the actual output power

Oh well, I'm sure it'll do me just fine.
