Wanyed to try something new and different so I bought a MagnaForce 200 2 pill driver and the MF 600 4 pill amps. 200 watt DK swinging to 1100 watts peak......the 200 driver swings 250 watts peak by itself. SSB the 600 does about 400 pep and the driver does 200 pep which is more than enough for SSB DX and excellent audio. Arrived at my house without one cosmetic issue and the performance is excellent considering the 14.1 volts my alternator is sustaining. Love them |

Those are great amplifiers, just make sure you have the amperage in your alternator and proper size wiring to sufficiently run them. Sound like with the watts you are getting, it's probably already taken care of , so this post is made more as educational purposes for others looking to do the same than an answer to Sparkomatic. They sure got a pretty box on the outside of those MagnaForce's huh Spark? Very well made. Alsworld |

Stock 130 Amp alternator maintaining 14.1 volts at key down with 2 Optima Yellow Top batteries. The next step is having the regulator removed from the alternator and replacing it with a adjustable external regulator set to 15 volts. It will be dangerous. Nice looking amp that is designed and assembled with quality. Well worth the extra money. |

I can also say the Magna 200 is a stout little package. I have been seing 210-240 watts on AM from an Aries 460 meter that is very stingy. Very good on-air reports as well. |

On a Bird 43 my MF200 keys 10 and swings to 90 watts AVERAGE. SSB audio is nice, today I was talking all over the country on 38 LSB. The best thing about the Magnaforce amps is that the rocker switches light up. LOL |
