I have a Crown K2 amplifier for sale. This is a high-power amplifier, with a switching output stage, providing excellent bass control (ideal for subwoofers, doesn't sound TOO great full-range, IMHO).

Specs are: (from http://www.crownaudio.com/pdf/legacy/136713.pdf)

continuous RMS power in watts

stereo:
@ 8 ohms: 500
@ 4 ohms: 800
@ 2 ohms: 1,250 (stable!)

mono:
@ 8 ohms: 1,600
@ 4 ohms: 2,500
Specifications from Crown: http://www.crownaudio.com/pdf/legacy/136713.pdf
Some reviews:

Amplifier was on tour with a band that didn't take good care of it, and so does NOT look brand new. Looks pretty beat up, but works great. I defeated the sleep circuit as it would switch the amp to standby when the signal was too low. As I was using it in my home stereo, the signal was ALWAYS too low and so it would constantly switch off. I got the instructions on defeating the sleep circuit from a Crown tech.

Asking $350 firm. Would much prefer to sell to someone in the vicinity of Los Angeles, but can ship for around $50 if necessary. The amp is currently in my stereo and so can definitely be tested by the buyer.

Anybody looking for a great sub amp should snatch this up - provided you have a place to hide it from the sounds of things.  The K series will drive 1 ohm and change.  It's a great bass amp.  The K series was THE default choice for a high end sub amp in the home theater world until it was discontinued.
