Umm, yeah. a/d/s (analog/digital systems) was part of ADST, the original parent company of Orion before the DEI buyout. Before Rainbow and the other current high end speaker makers started making car specific products, a/d/s was THE brand for pure SQ. Their amps are very solid and will make rated power, but not much more. The Power Plate series were quite nice.

old school ADS is very nice. Is the pps80 the 8x50w one? ADS was pretty high end in the mid 90's, i remember looking at a +$1100 paid of comps. I still have a ps5..iirc its 2x45w. Very small, no xover & sounds great.
