KMS Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Over the last few years, I've always seen their name pop up as recommendations. I'd like to know too. They're in the same price point as Hifonics and MBQuart so... Alpine PDX-V9 Morel Tempo 6 Alpine SBR-S8-4 Alpine CDE 149BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in the same price point as Hifonics and MBQuart so... Yeah searching for my mids n highs I was recommended them for speakers and seen there amps were super cheap so it made me wonder. I'm going with Rockford for mids/highs and amps, but still would like to know how they are. Well hopefully someone knows, cause I wanna know lol Build log link, (Slow Build) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183469-dionysuss-02-eddie-bauer-explorer-slow-budget-build-sundown-4-chan-guts-pg-4/ Team AB son!

kickass audio Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I have an old PPI PC2350 and it didn't do rated on the amp dyno but for it being an older amp with all original caps, diodes, transistors, etc I don't think its too bad. It is rated for 1400w rms at a 4 ohm bridge and I was tested at 1246w rms on a 14v bank and 1316w rms on a 12v bank, it was the dynamic test but it still isn't too bad for me. It sounds very clean for the output from it and it has a ton of great features that allow you to run active on it. Idk about their newer lines but the older one like mine looks awesome and sounds awesome with near output power. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/143695-precision-power-pc2350-amp-guts-and-specs/page-2 2004 GMC Envoy1 XS power S3400 batt under the hood and 4 XS Power D3100's battery installed in the rear by the amps0 gauge power wire from front to backAlpine iva-w205 touchscreen dvd/cd/mp3/ipod/am/fm/gps headunitSundown Audio SAX-200.4 amp for my mids and highs8 gauge speaker wire from amp to woofer270 amp Mechman AltRockford Fosgate T1652-s component speakersRockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 sound processorRca's from Rockford Fosgate and Monster Cable14 gauge speaker wire for the mids and highs1 18" Ascendant Audio SMD Dual 1 ohm with custom Black & Blue carbon fiber and hand signed dustcapBox: 5.66 cubic feet net volume box tuned to 30.13Hz with 1.5" wide wooden dowels and 1.5" thick baffle1 DC Audio 5.0k amp wired to .5 ohms nominal with an imp rise of 1.35 ohms for the single AA SMD 18"Future Vision 8000k 50w bi-xenon projector HID's with 4300k 35w fog lightsLink to my build: Buildupdates/progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 The old school PPI amps were and still are awesome amps, for a time there after being sold to a few different companies they slid down in quality and are now trying to make a comeback. Stay away from PPI's speakers, there are far better options out there for much less than what they want. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still like to get a pair, but the crossovers are huge. :\ Alpine PDX-V9 Morel Tempo 6 Alpine SBR-S8-4 Alpine CDE 149BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneerchuck Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 The older amps were awesome. The newer ones not so much. But it has been said already, they are slowly making a comeback in bringing back their good name. Some of the brand new amps they have out are a lot better than previous models. So for the price, I'd say they're worth a look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothra Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 from what I know Soundstream bought them out. I am currently running the PPI Sedona 760.4 and 2000.1D. I like them, as for doing rated I haven't taken the time out to actually see what they do. might do that in the future but don't know. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
