I had a guy offer me a straight 8 pill amp for 400 bucks today. I havent ever really heard of or used a tnt amp before. Anybody used one before? He also was selling a texas star 667 for 225. Good or bad prices, any opinions?

I have a 4pill TNT in my Pickup. Nice clean sounding unit and have seen very few others. Did a search here on copper when I first got it and from what I remember people liked it.
Of course as with a lot of other quality products...it has been discontinued YEARS ago.
I've seen them command pretty good prices on the auction site as well.
A friend who has since moved to SC also has a TNT although a 1 pill modulator. They seem like stout, well built CLEAN AB-1 linears.

Best of luck~

see what's in the tnt 8 pill, if it's 2879's....as long as it works, not a bad price-they were not bad in their day. a custom 4 or 5 pill will SMOKE a 667, new price not much more then a new 667-IF any more.

TNT amps are nicely built stock amps but they most certainly don't do big watts.

My 400 has 4xMRF492's...either the Galaxy Pluto DK4.5 /swing30 OR Magnum Delta doing 40PEP gets me 100DK/250+RMS/400PEP...yep not big numbers but works great and runs cool. Never popped the 30a fuse yet :-)

I have heard of TNT amps, never heard nothing bad about them, so if it works, and you like and have the bucks buy it. I would do what Pat said though and see what pills are it it. 492's are what my old C-T 150 uses, two of them, I need a trimmer cap for it though so it will un-key on high. Back in the early eighties I was talking all over the world with it. The new cycle will be starting soon, no not my motorcycle, the sunspot cycle.
