Would you please post a close-up photo of the rear panel?
How old is this amp and have you ever had any issues with it?
Do you have the original packaging/manuals etc? (I always find that the guy that keeps this stuff looks after things!)

~ 7 years old. The amp runs fine. Click on the pic that I posted and you will be able to see a larger (magnified) view.

I don't have the original box. But it will be well packed for shipping (this is something I document with camera). The amp is in mint condition.

Is there anything about the back that you have a specific question on?

Ok, i was able to blow up the pic. Thanks for that. I wanted to determine it was bridgeable. I'm looking for something to either drive a passive subwoofer, or the rears of a 7.1 system, so need the flexibility to use it either way.
Hmmm.........let me think about this.
So, do you have the packaging? OOPS - you answered that already - sorry !

No, I don't have the original packaging. I ship anywhere from 3 to 8 computers/point of sale wraps a week. I have plenty of solid, quality packaging.
