Weird amp found under seat... Targa?

Says "Targa Q-30" on it. Normally I'd just chuck it, but I got curious. I cracked it open and found the insides to be PACKED! It is also very heavy. And it works!

It looks like it's really good quality, but I can't find any info on it. Anyone ever hear of this brand?

Last time I found a pair of amps that I had never heard of, they turned out to be worth a ton! (found a pair of old skool Audisons )

Well for real I remember those amps to be the stuff back in the '80s and early '90s when I was in high school...But it is old skool...I have an old alpine 30x30 amp that I fixed in my electronics class in high school still working today in my truck pushing my JL componets....

It would appear that Targa amps are made by Sherwood. I can't find any info about this amp on their website though.

I have one of those ( or a different model #) sitting in a box in the basement. It worked ok as a high pass for smaller speakers, but when used for the sub with the low pass it would go in to protect mode with any sort of volume at all. Sound quality was not that great.
