Also, the old pg amps were amazing. The ti (?) lineup was ***.

What about the old school linear amps? If you can find them, they were pretty decent. Like KHS said I believe these need external crossovers too.

All the old LP amps I'm seeing are beat to hell

For a old school 15 how big for a sealed box? I got room for anything

i suppose we can discuss the original question.
xtant - i've ran 1999-era xtant amps in several builds and owned them since 1999. awesome amps for flexibility but difficult to find mounting locations due to cover design and fragility. active capable. great sound and power supply design. 3300c have thermal power supply issues. 403a 603x 604x 1001dx are all great choices. avoid x603, x604, x1001 as they are MTX amps and it shows.

phoenix gold - i've owned several PG amps, but if i did an OS build i'd probably stick with the silver ZX series. MS series is overpriced due to rarity, ZPA series require rebuilds.

rockford - i've owned several era's of RF amps and currently have a matching set of 200a2, 400a4, 800a2 waiting for a purpose. lots of power and a different sound than the xtant or PG (more distortion but in a good way). best to have external crossovers for more flexibility. i like RF amps in most series, very reliable.

PPI - the older PC series was a favorite of mine if you can pick up some PC2150's or similar. I've had the ART series as well and they are neat but prone to noise, IIRC. limited crossover sections.

Soundstream - the older Reference series is a nice choice for an OS build. solid features. i've owned a few but didn't use them. I like matching sets and never had a set.

Alpine - the 1996 MRV series is an excellent amp choice. A MRV-F405, MRV-F505, and MRV-1505 are all Japan made with awesome internals, close to F#1. I ran these for a bit with the Hertz Mille's and they did awesome. I still have the F405. Active capable amps with flexible crossovers.

Orion - i had a few but didn't use them for long. the NT series always fascinated me. Huge amps with plenty of power but require external crossovers and control. Expensive and sought after - a solid investment.

with OS amps you're looking for a 4 ohm SVC sub or one that can be wired to 4 ohm mono.

Is this the alpine line you are talking about?

no.

this: MRV-1005, MRV-F405,& MRF-F505 (left to right, top pic). the MRV-1505 is not pictured but is a 2 channel the size of the F505.

Ok so the ones that say expect under V12. Thanks

If you where going to do a OG build, 4 channel and sub what would you use?Phoenix gold

Xtant

Rockford

Soundstream

PPI

Lanzar... Name some others, stuff you can still find NOS

Something like 50x4 on stock front speakers and 500 or so on a sealed sub, maybe a OG 15

I would hunt for 2 lanzar 2500 optidrives... bad *** amps.
