[QUOTE="sebberry, post: 4367579, member: 590343"] Hi Guys, did a quick search for "PDX5" and got a couple of hits but nothing in the amplifier section. I figure as these become more popular there will be more people talking about them so I thought I'd start a thread here in the Amplifier forum. I currently have a PDX4.150 that I purchased a year ago but haven't gotten around to installing it yet. My original plan was to install this under the driver's seat and the PDX 1.600 under the passenger seat for the subwoofer. Upon a recent test fit is has become apparant that the 4.150 won't fit well under the driver's seat (clearance issues over top of the unit). So this pretty much leaves me with one option - sell it and get the PDX5 and put it under the passenger seat. I'm not looking for a system with high SPL, just better overall sound quality and bass (my car doesn't even have a factory sub, just the door speakers). So here are my questions: How are the Apline PDX amps working out in terms of sound quality? How is the bass output from the PDX5's 300w subwoofer amp? I don't want something that will compare to a trunk full of amps and subs, but more along the line of a factory McIntosh, H/K, or Mark Levinson system. A step up from Bose, but not over the top, competition grade SPL. I also don't have room in my trunk for amps bigger than the PDX amps as I use all the storage space people with my car typically stuff long amps into. This amp will be driving two pairs of MB Quart Premium components and 1 10" sub yet to be determined sitting inside a JL Stealthbox. Any thoughts would be appreciated! [/QUOTE]
