So I found an old amp I had in one of my cars years ago today, it was blown. The outer casing is 8 pounds of aluminum, and inside I pulled a good pound and half of copper out!! Just thought id share another idea for all you scrappers out there!

Ahh,I was thinking Rockford was the only company that would use high grade metal.i've done the same scraped the aluminum and the board was a low grade so scraped with the low grade stuff.You still run any car audio?

I am currently running 3 audio pipe amps. Each 1500 watts rms. 3 12 inch polk audio dxl subs. A clarion head unit. Alpine door speakers and alpine rears with a 4 channel alpine amp 800 watts rms to push them. All sounds great with ole hank sr. playin loud lol. On the subject at hand I have scrapped many amps. If you find the ones made for use in china. They usually have a much better board atleast mid grade. They are programed to be more high demand units. I am looking for some photos of the one I had a few years back. Sorry I forget the brand name on it.
