That would be sweet if it works out. Would let me I use the 4 channel amp I have for pods/lids and use one of those for front stage.

Using it on the AWs. Think the Micros work too hard for those big dawg 880s, but not opposed to trying it out after I run it ragged on the AWs.

With those being rated at 350 I'm thinking maybe 250 is their sweet spot. Can't wait to hear.

Worked like an effing champ!!!! I have 2 of my forum brothas that are gonna test these out later this week.
The only thing I'm finding with all these Micros is that they run warm. All the big amps I have run don't ever break a sweat. More than likely the internal fans in the big dawgs but on the flip side I think the warmth is just the heat sink doing its job.

The amp is the Ground Zero GZRA Micro Four. It's very tuff to find in the states but there is a US distributor and the best way to get in touch with them is a Message on FB. Not sure the cost for individual amp as I bought a short stack when I ordered. Just tell them Tailwind sent u.

Fits like it is required equipment on the clutch side of the Rushmores where the JL 280 has been mounted.

Don't have more than about 50 miles on the amp thus far but so far so good. Damn good sound and great power.
