I 2nd what Caledonia says! 20 watts tops!
For the loudest cleanest bestest sounding station adjust the radio so that the amp swings 4 times what it deadkeys! |

so i guess a saturn swinging 25 would be a little too much.thanks for the info i've allways been a pill man myself so these tubes are new to me.i just got a good deal on 1 that looks like new with new tubes and just been tuned so i thought id give it a shot and do away with the whole pwr supply,moble ,and crows nest of wires running moble in the house!im very pleased with the klv so far lets just see how long it lasts! |

Try turning the RF power on your Saturn to get under 20 watts!
The 350 makes a great little amp, but you have to be nice to it--don't drive the snot out of it and do run it on low--nobody will notice the difference on your signal strength, and the amp will stay cool and last a good long time! |
