Rockwood amp..?

I bought this amp for a few bucks. It looks like its from the 80's or something. Instead of having screws to put wires in..it has a wire harness. I've never seen an amp like this. Do I just run 6x9s off of it, or could I run a sub somehow?
Its a 50x4 channel amp. Like I said..its ghetto.

You might find it useful for running a clock radio speaker.

I'd say you could use it as a paper weight, but it doesn't even weigh enough to be useful for that.

Ah, Rockwood. They made my first pair of 3-way 6x9's. Too bad the midrange and tweeter weren't real components, but pieces of plastic with magnets glued to the back so they "looked like" 3-way speakers.

If you use it, use cheap speakers with it. I'd hate to see you destroy a $50 set of 6x9's with that amp- the distortion will tear right thru 'em.
