[QUOTE="quackhead, post: 7852137, member: 573547"] I have bought from Sonic, Woofers etc, Parts Express, Onlinecarstereo, AQ, and few others. I have never received anything that was not as described from these companies. They only problems I have ever had was buying used equipment off sites like Ebay, which is why I rarely suggest anything used. I have bought "last years models", or "outdated models" with extremely satisfactory results, considering the savings. I did not say you were shady, you are the one who stated the "Boston sub will blow on the PPI amp", which is utter BS and then actually stated the comps will "take too much power and overrun the sub", which lends to the fact you may not be too familiar with system tuning. You left me no choice but to try and defend my suggestion....and you claim to have been doing this since before I was born??....lol. I am not going to dispute that, but I was running Zapco and M&M in 1987. The only thing you have done is try to sell OP far less quality at an inflated price. The only thing OP has to judge by is actual stated specs such as power output, THD, S/N, Frequecy Response, etc. I did allow for the possibility that the PPI S760.4 might be overrated, but I seriously doubt it. I was figuring about 100 watts to the comps and 300 to the sub after proper gain adjustments. $85 invested in the actual sub stage is not bad, given the overall system capability and flexibility. If op ever intends to expand his system, he will be sitting on a very capable mid/high amp and decent comps and a decent HU as a good foundation for a much better sub stage. I have installed the Sedona S580.2 and PPI Power Class PC360.2 amps and had great results. Same with the Boston 12" pre fab subs. I helped a friend of mine install a Hifonics BRZ 1200 and the Boston G112PD cab they had on sale awhile back. That thing sounds good on about 700 watts and no, they did not blow..nor the fuses. I have not heard the PPI Art series comps, but for $79, I bet they are pretty dang good. I have not seen the particular Clarion I suggested, but the Clarions I have seen are decent for the $. OP would probably get more than a year out of that model. It has more pre-outs and higher pre-out voltages than the lower priced model you suggested, along with a few other features. Is there better equipment out there? Of course. For the $$? prolly not much. [/QUOTE]
