You're being sarcastic, right?

It's made for amateur home audio. RCA inputs don't match up with any bass preamps that I know of, and banana speaker jacks haven't been used on bass speakers for decades. Better off putting the $90 towards real bass equipment.
Oh, and the OP insists on having a cooling fan...
And "Made In USA"!
Thank you for replying in a factual and respectful manner. I feel less of an idiot now!
made in Canada close enough?...Traynor 200w or this 500 W version...powerful and built like a tank..cooled by fan
I'll just comment that I think the Aguilar TH350 is a killer amp.
I've previously owned the TH350 and the GK MB200. I'd pick the Aguilar every time.
As far as a fan - there's more than one way to skin a cat, and more than one way to cool an amp.
As far as made in the USA - I think Aguilar is a great company, and they have folks in NYC putting the amps together, testing, and doing QC... I believe they have a set up in Ohio where they are doing their cabs.
To me, the important parts are the testing and QC. The Aguilar CS is pretty great too - at least IME.

Get a Traynor SB200. It’s made in Canada, sounds amazing, is inexpensive, and is built like a brick shithouse. Which should be close enough.
An ankle biter is a small dog that nips at your heels and barks. Yet they are adorable and good companions. Usually. Use your imagination to draw a parallel line to a bass amp.
Loving my Trace Elliot ELF, although I am direct into the system 99% of the time with in ear monitors, so I rarely bring an amp. My DUG pedal and G&L L-2000 go direct to the faces for melting.
