They started to look really good in the mid 90's. The Art series really made them big. As for power, meeting rated power was close. Not like the other brands which blew their ratings out of the water. This is why you mainly only saw PPI amps in the unlimited class and the Orion and Fosgate were big in the limited classes. I had a couple art series amps. Mostly because they were THE amps to have in the late 90's. I only sold them because I was offered a lot more than what I paid for them. Speaking of PPI amps, I still have quite a few of those power and speaker plugs in my toolbox. I also still have a box of assorted SIPs for the Xtant X-series amplifiers.Eh....aesthetics matter. They're beautiful amps and they put out rated power. Keep in mind how much money people put into the design of their trunks.
