    PPI amps?

    well i dont have the new DCX series but i have the last series PCX. I love em. have them 1.5 years now and PPI is all ive owned for 12+ years or so. never a days problem and always underrated wattagewise. I do think the new ones are fugly though. i guess no biggie if they perform.

    i can understand it seems overwhelming the 1st time. the satisfaction you get from doing it yourself is irreplacable the 1st time you power it up and everything kicks ***. if you follow what i said you cant blow anything up if all your +s are to +s and -s to -s. hopefully you can find someone to...
