I would pass simply because it is ungodly ugly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/sick.gif.b1847c8dabbfeeddbcf1a78052249e10.gif

But, I guess it depends on what price you would be getting it at. I've heard great things about all the PPI lines up through the PC....not so good things about the PCX and later series.

personally, i love PPI and DEI. i dont know why. i just do.

prolly the fact that their older stuff kicks some major arse. im not too sure about this new crap that they have been releasing. if you are seriously contemplating spending $400 on an amp tho - id find somthing else. it cant be a bad amp- but i just dont see that matching up with usamps, diamond, kicker, or some other choice amps.

i dunno. ive never used\seen a DCX, but my PC1400 (400x1@2) works like a champ.

maybe go with a viper2500.1 if you can find one instead?

//edit

or this!

The pcx line is great I have 2 amps a ppi pcx480 and a ppi pcx2200 and they are great and also about 40 watts underrated.

great amp... i have a DCX 1000.1 works beautifully... only downside is the stupid DEI connector plugs and the fact that it pulls a hella lot of current if ur voltage begins to sag... but other then that a wonderful amp, hasn't let me down yet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/banghead.gif.8606515f668c74f6de0281deb475b6fd.gif knock on wood
