OK, I'll bite . . . and trust me, I spent MANY hours drooling over audio brochures in the '80s.

1. The Orion 425 HCCA - Put 'em Away with HCCA was their ad in the mags. Wayne Harris' hearse was in the background with a bunch of surly lookin' dudes throwing the other brands amps in a hole they dug in front of it. I also coveted their 2350GX and of course the gold version - the 2350GS. This was an era when different was totally cool!

2. The HiFonics Colossus vi. Although the picture is of a vii (can't find any vi pics online), I became aware of this amp in about 1988 or so. 1,200 watts RMS - that was UNHEARD OF in a car amplifier back then. Let alone 1,800 watts RMS when you ran it at 2 ohms per channel (900 per channel). At the time, this was the king of the hill, with nearly double the rated power of the RF Power 1000.

I did eventually settle on an Isis, Europa, and Pegasus from them but always lusted after the Colossus.

3. The PPI 2350DM. In about 1990 I heard a Kicker demo vehicle with (4) of their C18s, each driven by one of these amplifiers. Man, the bottom end was CLEAN.

I'm sure TomTom has one of each of them . . .

Ok so i am definitely spoiled rotten these days, i have everything car-audio wise i ever wanted. For some reason though i still think about the amp i always wanted but couldnt afford and there was NO HOPE of EVER affording it (back in the day). I remember seeing my dream amp behind the "glass case" at Paradyme in the early 90's and to this day, it still hasnt been a reality...although it would end up on the shelf i still would love to have one.

Name the amp or amps you always WISHED you had but to this day never got one.

I have at least a handful but the one that sticks out the most in my mind is this one because it was so stunningly beatiful.......and no offense but Soundstream was "still out of Folsom, CA" if you catch my drift.

Yes, this is the Continuum -

trust me, i wanted the:

Coustic Power Logic 650 (i think thats what it was, the big LONG amp)

Rockfod Fosgate Power 1000

Soundstream Class A 10.0

Soundstream MC-500 (real old...hell MC ANYTHING from soundstream)

and a few others......but the Continuum still stands out in my mind

EDIT: POST PICS!

I just sold soundstream MC 140
