Nicholas;
The Sunn Coliseum Bass amp puts out 320 watts RMS at 2 ohms, 220 watts RMS at 4 ohms. I find it in my 1973 price list, however it may have been manufactured earlier. Check the pot code for a rough idea of the date of your amp.

Thanks Ryan.  That helped answer some of the questions I had about the SUNN coliseum bass head I bought today.  I ran it with a SONIC 2x15 lansing-altec cab, and A-B-Y'd it with my SUNN Sonic 1-40 with its two 1x15 D140f cabs and the sound was absolutely awesome.  Great balance for hi's and lo's.

P.S.   Dummy me.  Forgot to ask another question in the last post.  My SUNN coliseum bass head has a S/N below 00300.  Any idea of manufacture date?
