Precision Power PPI-3050?

[tobey 10+ year member]

Has anyone owned or even heard of this model? I got nothing from Google, it's as if the thing never existed. I'm assuming it's an entry level amp from who knows how long ago. I'm wondering if it's a decent amp or not because I may have just bought one...

Kinda a rare old school amp. You must have won the auction on Ebay? Decent power for a 20+ year old amp. Excellent sound quality.

Thanks PPI_GUY, that makes me a feel a bit better. Yep, 'twas I who won the auction. I guess I got a little trigger happy after reading you can't really go wrong with the older PPI stuff. Then I realized there's absolutely no info on this particular model...

As long as it puts out good clean sound, I'll be happy. Just needed something with a little more power than my JVC KW-XR810 is providing.

Got the amp yesterday, it's in great condition. But I powered it up and the pots were scratchy as hell. It's unusable like this. The seller was pretty cool and is going to send me new pots for free though. Wasn't expecting a project, but that's life...

Gut shot in case any one is curious:



Does anyone know where I can find new speaker wire harnesses? The ones it came with are pretty rough. I'm thinking I'll just have to solder directly to the board.

I'm pretty sure its the staggered powered 4ch...I don't remember the power off hand I'm thinking 25x2 front 50x2 rear...but I may be off...nice front stage amp

Close! 30x2/50x2. Should be pretty sweet once I get it going. Has to be better than most of the crap out there now.

If you don't have experience soldering, I would take to an electronics repair shop. Those are simple replaceable item but you can ruin the board if it is done wrong.
