Arc audio 5150xxk

I have the chance to pick this up for 305 usd. Its used. But the owner says it's in excellent shape and it works like new. Should I buy this? I was thinking of getting this amp to run a set of either CDT 3ways or DLS Iridiums 3 Ways. I'd run it by-wire, one channel to the midrange and tweets and one channel to the midbass. Or one channel to the tweets, one channel to the midrange and then use the sub channel to run the midbass. Would this be a good setup?

Arc audio makes great amps but that one doesnt have enough power for my tastes (even though Arcs are underrated). I would never buy something used without a picture of it. Nor would I buy a 5 channel amp. Any set up can be good if you tune it properly, out of the box though, I'm not sure but it'd probably be fine.

I figure 75 underated watts to each driver should be enough. It'd be the same as running it 150rms to the tweet/mid combo right, but instead by-wiring it w/75 watts each. I wouldn't buy it without pictures either, I'll ask for them if I consider buying it.

Plenty of power, all my amps are used, and they work fine, just check his references, if your interested in a brand new 4150 XXK, I have one.
