Ok guys I need help finding pictures and info on this amp.. Here is what I remember.

It was advertised in a Car Audio magazine

It was 2000 watts+

The add stated that It could run a small city on the power it needed or put out.

It was like 6" thick

Had a clear top plate so you could see the internals

Of course it was very rare

It was made right around when the Powerclass PPI amps came out 1997-1999

Let me know what ya come up with

Its not a powerclass as far as I know it just came out around the same time... Actually it may of never been mass produced.. Maybe limited to only a handful

Never heard of that one, I wish they had a better picture.

I did a search on google and they say it weighs 60 pounds, 2088 watts output at 4 ohms bridged.

..and what do you know... there's one on ebay:

They retailed for $10k and I saw someone sell one for 3k

Here's another amazing picture of it during the anniversary

i'd buy one for 3g's

 

[RAM_Designs 5,000+ posts]

PPI made 2 channels that did 1400 and 1600 bridged at 4ohms. I figured they'd go for something around 3-4k bridged with this amp...otherwise, doesn't seem very special minus being rare.
