Thanks for the reply. I live in Brampton, Ontario. I sent some emails out to a couple of upholstery shops. We'll see what happens. Would they order just a few yards of one colour for me?
My very first amp was a Cyclops VIII. I sold it for no good reason and regretted it ever since. Then when I was 18 I bought the Odin and the Pluto. I have used them in every car I've had since then. They are probably 20 years old now and have never failed me. I even ran 6, 8" subs off the Odin once. 2.6 ohm mono load and the amp just punished it. It's only rated for 4 ohm mono but it never even shut off. It got hot though. They are way over engineered. I don't think you can get amps like that anymore. I've used other amps over the years as well, but I've always gone back to the HiFonics. I just bought the Herc and can't wait to hear it. It's the sub amp I've been after for almost a quarter century!
They show up in the usual online sales areas from time to time but people still want money for the good ones. I saw a mint Colossus VIII go for $1100 last year.
Thanks again for your reply. Old school forever.
