I search PPI every day. I am considering buying the A1200.2 and waiting for another one to auction so I can run a pair on some XXX's.

How about the Anniversary collector edition 2000 watt amp PPI came out with in like 97. There was one on Ebay about a year ago for 1900.00 bucks, they retailed at 10,000.00 dollars new. If you can find specs on that amp it is something to orgasm over. 2000 watts rms, A/B design, 7hz-100khz etc...

sorry I'm rambling //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/drool.gif.b5e863e893038027711d4402f340dad0.gif

Dynaudio speakers! Very high end and still around today! How about McIntosh amps and HU's? That stuff was always my favorite but way too expensive!

Oldschool? This puppy right here is old school for sure! ---> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5746104782&ssPageName=STRK:MEAFB:IT

And its flawless. Perfect shape. A brand new 10 year old radio. Never opened, no signs of wear,metals still shiny, and plays perfect. Even the rotary volume knob is still tight. This along with my oldschool ppi amp will make some nice sound together! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

lets see if we can get this thread goin again................

MATRIX Audio....which some of u may now know as MTX Audio, reason for the change in the name............. no one could pronounce it right

 

[hayden 10+ year member]

I may have missed it, but nobody mentioned the "old" Audiomobile amps/eqs/speakers.

Good calls on the early stuff, I love my old H/K 260 and the old, old Hifonics. I've even got some of those small Proton "cheater" amps somewhere in the shop.

JP

PS - I forgot to mention the early (made in Japan) Alpine amps, like in the Speakerworks Grand National. McCauley subs were popular for awhile in the eighties. G&S Designs, M&M, Blade amps (way before the Ghey Grenade series).

Did you see that AX606.2 on ebay now, already at $610 bucks. Thats one sexy amp that could run one kick azz system.

The Power 1000 was rated at 4x125 @ 4ohms not 4x500.......

I am a true old schooler on these forums. Have been in the scene since 1989 and still run the RF vintage old school gear.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif The gear from that era was VERY underrated in power output! Could easily put out double the 'stated' specs!

According to the RF vintage old school literature:

RF Power 1000

250 watts/channel x 4 into 2 Ohms from 20Hz to 20KHz with less than .1% THD.

150 watts/channel x 4 into 4 Ohms with less than .05% THD

500 watts/channel bridged

 

[RFCV 10+ year member]

Um, CV Stroker ?or is that not old school enough, i dont know

They came out in 1974. Started being used in car audio SPL in early 90's.

Rockford......Before FosgateCrunch 50hc

Shocker is still making subs BTW....

Don't you mean fosgate before Rockford? Fosgate PR 7000 was the first before Rockford corporation was formed and given control of the company by Jim Fosgate.
