ZX was a pricey line for PG in the late 90's. My ZX950 cost like 1700 back then. I liked mine alot.

But i would rather spend 300 to buy a PPI A600.2.

I'd probably offer him a little less, but I'd rather own that amp than a lot of new crap that gets recommended on here...

lol.

I dunno about 300.

The black ones like that are even harder to find...

the 300 includes 3 infinity 10's in a box

the amp is 200 by itself

I'd offer him $150, see where it winds up.

But $200 for something in that condition, with that quality...I could live with that.

 

[sdmtnbiker420 10+ year member]

offered 150, waiting for response

Think this amp is capable of powering 2 JL 10w3v2's?

That's a wicked amp, the old PG's were highly underrated

Why?

I ran PPI when i was in IASCA in the late 90's. The Art series was some of the best amps i have ever owned.

My favorite of all time were my LP amps though.

I think that it's worth $200 easily. Those were solid amplifiers.

The PPIs were (and still are) nice amps, but I think the PGs were a bit beefier built. I've yet to see any amps built as beefy as the MS series PG amps were. I had an MS-275 and MS-2125 and those things were built like M-1 tanks!

The ZX500 is def a good buy at 200 or less, jump on it.
