CEF491 uses a 4800dxl (same as the 158) with a dx500 and has had a major 'presence' here on the east coast at times. even when he has been S9+ on AM 13, no bleed on 12 or 14. magnaforce claims to be class 'B', but still a noisemaker on many channels once you put some drive to it. texas star is about the best built CB amp in AB1. unfortunately, the 500 is all they have that will handle dual final-type radios.
