Thaddeus Smith Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 This speaker project has had me re-evaluating my whole stack and I'm going to go a different route with my amplification. Selling this to help fund my digital XO. $200 SOLD local DFW or carried to the SWAG event the first weekend of April. Will ship for another $35.

risingjay Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I have a QSC 3402 that has been sitting idle for a while but I do plan to use it for a upcoming sub project. I paid $700 used back in 2005 and that was a steal. If I remember correctly Deang really liked this amp, said it sounded very natural. I used mine for a long time when I didn't want to use my tube amps, not saying it sound like tubes, but a very good amp. Someone needs to jump on this. Mine hasn't let me down. Great price!

tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Oh I like these. I have a 1202 and a 2402 (I think, in storage). Any rash on this one? Is the low flow fan mod done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Haven't touched the fan. There's some faint scratches here and there on the left handle and light stuff on the top of the case, but no major chips/nicks/gouges etc to indicate that it's been thrown around or dropped. It's lived in a rack for the 3 or 4 years I've had it and the guy pulled this and it's partner out of his rack when I went to pick them up.

CECAA850 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 The PLX sounds identical to the PLX2's. These are great sounding amps. I have 5 of the PLX2's and love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 @tigerwoodKhorns, posting the pics here for everyone's benefit. I did the best with after-sundown lighting. Hopefully this gives the detail you're wanting, otherwise I'll have to wait until I have daylight in great quantities. Top, wide. That tape adhesive from the previous owner should be removable. Top, detail shots. Bottom, wide. Bottom, detail shots. Front, details shots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Got one (not same model) that I have held onto and have been using for years infrequently up until now. Great amps, quiet fan for pro gear, tons of headroom and also one of the best bargains for sq/power IMO. GLWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Which route you thinking about going for amplification after you get your digital crossover (maybe its in your build thread, I'll head over there now)? I just received a Parasound HCA-806 which will allow me to bi amp my L/C/Rs. I just got it installed in the system last night and will hopefully be finishing setup this evening.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Amp received. So, anyone know if Michael (Thaddius) knows how to pack am amp? The answer is hell yea! Check out this packaging job. Reminds me of Mark Dennan's packing on his Juicy Music gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 So, a little trick from mom. Look at the pics above. A few marks on the amp. I spent a little time with some Zippo fluid and check it out now. I also added some feet because you can scratch that bottom now can you? To me, these amps are way too noisy for home use. The fan noise would drive me crazy. But I have had one of these in my office for over ten years and use it all day long. I swapped out the noisy fan with a low flow unit. Shipping is crazy on the fans so I bought three of them, and this happens to me my third QSC so here it is waiting to be installed. If I remember correctly, install was a little difficult because getting the ducts to line up again was a little struggle. But worth it.

This is what I have in my server: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/nmb-technologies-corporation/3110SB-05W-B20-E00/2615564?lang=en&s=N4IgTCBcDaIMwEYEAYDOAjAtMgrAd03TGUwFNlkQBdAXyA&site=us&x=16&y=19 I think that they are cheaper now than 10 years ago. I bought three because of shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
