Phoenix Gold Roadster 66: Bringin' Back that Old School Feeling

Over the years ago, Phoenix Gold has introduced several cutting-edge, high-power, high-dollar amps into the industry. Many have been very limited issue, but mention one to any old school car audio guy (ZPA0.5, ZPA03, MS2250, Octane, etc), and you'll instantly get a distant-but-concentrating gaze and a "those were the days" smirk.
Well, it looks like those days are back. This year Phoenix unveiled the new Roadster 66 amplifier, a surfboard of an amp with loads of power, gobs of style, and a really cool aluminum carrying case. This 5-channel behemoth is the epitome of amplifiers, designed for the power-hungry SQ enthusiasts with a 4-channel Class A/B full range section and a separate Class-D mono section for subs. Check out the specs and features after the jump and a host of pics as well.
