I don't like the newer gear...lots of flash but the SQ seems to be dropping. Yes, even the Alpine F#1 Status is dropping in SQ. Darn 50 cent op amp parts. Grumble.

 

Nice. I'd love to get some PPI Art series amps, just kinda hard to find, and I feel like I need a 5.0 mustang or something on the lines to use them, hahaa.

 

yum... PPI art series. I had a few of those back in the days. I liked the black art series though. It had the looks I loved.


But I eventually sold off my old stuff. Now i'm rockin newer things that I'm satisfied with.

 

reppin new stuff, but respecting old school

 

I like the old stuff myself--

All old school MTX Thunder Series amps-- had a 2300x I hit a 153db on the dash with a single HUGE ported 15 setup for spl, and I'm now running a 1500dx class d monoblock, and I have a mint 4200x just collecting dust cuz I'm too busy to and poor to rewire my new truck and add some legit mids and hi's....

I finally gave in and replaced the SC4 with a 2001 Blazer ZR2-- Mmmmm 4wd..

I swapped the down low ride with something that sits high-- AND it wont total on a curb-

I may eventually do a 3way setup as the Blazer has a nice setup for 6.5's in the doors and 4x6's on the dash which should accommodate a good 4" with a tweet for a really nice soundstage--

 

not running anything yet in my newer car, but in my old sc i had a ppi black art series a600.2 hooked up to a stryke audio (now ae speakers) av12 subwoofer =)

 

How were those class D monoblocks? I'm looking for a sub amp right now...want to cut down on the weight for my setup.

 

The 1500dx I suppose you're speaking of has been rated by stereoreview to resemble early Soviet engineering-- -- ugly and to the point, and VERY overbuilt..

They're benched at about 1.1kw right at clipping-- and about 60% efficient if I remember correctly--

I'm running a single Kappa Perfect 12.1 on the amp half load, so around 475rms in a 1ft^3 sealed box in the back of the blazer and LOVING it-- there isn't a better sub for $99 shipped-- (Crutchfield Blowout sale on new old stock last year)

Here's the review--http://www.carsound.com/review_archive/amps/1500dx.html

Here's the Chart-- @ 2ohm--

 

That's REALLY good for a sub amp!

 

very nice

If I wasnt under sponsorship (With a great company BTW) I would run alod school setup probably just like this

good stuff
