[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8214801, member: 659121"] I'm settling in on the PPI amps. But I ran across the PPI.5 -- Which is similar in price to the PPI.4. PPI.5 (5channel, 70watts RMS x 4 (4ohms) + 5th channel 440watts RMS for sub) [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_38339_Precision-Power-PPI-P900.5.html"]Precision Power PPI P900.5 (p9005) 5-Channel Phantom Car Amplifier[/URL] The power is lower, but it's 5 channel,.. which gives me an option to use my MB Quart 6.5" Coaxials that are 70watt RMS in the rear factory 6.5" slots -- to make this a front 6.5" component with 1" tweeters with the JBL MS-62C 80watt RMS speakers [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_45048_JBL-MS-62C.html"]JBL MS-62C (MS62C) 6-1/2" 2-Way MS Component Car Speakers System[/URL] AND have my (already owned) stored MB Quart (German made) QM-160 KX 6.5" Coaxial 6.5" (with 1" coaxial tweeters) that run 70watts RMS in the rears... My 90's German Made MB Quarts: [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/111739693@N04/11445848745/"][IMG]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7345/11445848745_5fefbd4b55.jpg[/IMG][/URL] For a total of 4 , 6.5" mids, and two component 1" tweeters up front, and 1" tweeters on the MB Quarts across the mid cone in the rears,.. Plus the single sub in the custom box. It's just an idea,.. and the PPI 900.5 has a bass knob I'd mount up in an empty switch spot by the shiftknob/parking brake to be able to adjust Sub output on the fly? So,.. it's the same brand, similar amp,.. Class D,.. similar price -- Less wattage for components but VERY close to RMS ratings of fronts, and the exact RMS rating of the rear MB Quarts. Would I be foolish not to go ahead and grab the PPI 900.5 and run these MB Quarts I already have in my closet in the rears? Or would it still be better to get the PPI 900.4 and have more headroom on the amp for the just front components + single sub? Just a last minute idea as I didn't know of this amp till it popped up a minute ago. Thanks [/QUOTE]
