Sherwood SCP-1002 (circa 1988)
Not much is documented about the Sherwood SCP-1002 beyond a burst of advertising in mid-1988. It was a tri-mode car stereo amplifier. Sherwood pitched it that summer with the boast that its output could be "hazardous to your hinges." The ads leaned hard on flexibility - one amp that could be configured for two, three, or four speakers, with the claim that you could pick one setup today and another tomorrow without buying a second amplifier.
Sherwood's advertising in Audio (July 1988, p.69) described the SCP-1002 as "busting out with power," and a similar campaign ran in HiFI-Stereo (June 1988, p.141). The same ads placed it alongside the smaller SCP-802, rated at 90 watts per channel, which suggests the SCP-1002 sat above it in the line. No service manual, full specification sheet, or independent review has surfaced. The exact continuous power rating, dimensions, and detailed feature set remain unconfirmed.
