Just found a local 8 fin 400 II for a pretty good price for a working amp. I was thinking of grabbing it. If the custom faceplates were available with the holes for the power/sensitivity (looks like the 700 II) switch like the one I got from Glen, I would.

That way I would have a pair of matching WOPL 400 II's and they look great with the upgraded face. $200 and a FedEx shipping tag seems reasonable.

Here is what my 400 II WOPL with Glen's face plate looks like. Looks just like my 700 II WOPL. Anybody got one? I pay a finders fee for one.

Put a 700S2 faceplate on the 400 you find Perry...

Managed to snag a cheap 400 on ebay. Exploring ideas on what to do with it. Full comp WOPL is mandatory.
Bridging it for a mono sub driver is my first thought.
Is this doable?
Open to other ideas. This will be my fourth 400 and my third full WOPL when complete.
