[QUOTE="Keyboard_Rambo, post: 6220054, member: 612997"] Linear Power is the brand that pushed my cousin Chris over the edge. For two years I watched him collect those amplifiers while telling him that he should look into something else for all the money he was spending, but he didn't want to listen. He kept pulling this "They were awesome when I was in high school" routine on me every time I tried to tell him something to the contrary. Well, the day finally came where he was out a fortune for purchasing them and having many repaired, so he installed them. Man was he ever disappointed and pissed off at the same time. He had noise issues that couldn't be resolved, he had horrible efficiency issues that caused extreme dimming with the 5002 and was totally bummed that his 1502IQs cut out on him at high volume. He literally pulled them out of the vehicle and listed a huge for sale ad on another forum and on eBay. He replaced the 5002 with a Lunar L2125 and was shocked at the difference in output. He replaced a pair of 1502IQs with a pair of Lunar L60x2s and again was shocked at the clean raw output and lack of noise. In fact, he was able to buy three used Lunar amplifiers with the money that he made from selling ONE Linear Power! If all goes well this weekend, I am going to help him install his Lunar L450 and Clarion DPX1851 in his Mustang for a full active setup. If time allows, I will post a review. Otherwise, I'll be back in 6 months when I get back in the USA! [/QUOTE]
