[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 458202, member: 550915"] Would you be willing to part with one of those 2500's [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] I have one that I got second-hand that I'm trying to find a new board for (I'm in touch with PG in the hopes that they have a bare board that I can transfer the components to). But you can never have too many. I'm also looking for another 2100HCCA. I've had a 10W1 since they first came out. Still have it and it still works flawlessly. Not a scratch on the cone or chip in the paint. I remember the W5's and wanted one of the original 8W3s (they were part of the W5 line but the magnet wasn't as big and they were single coil IIRC so they got a smaller number). This was before the W4s were around even. I didn't have any money back at that time, and now that I do I am trying to acquire some of the amps I remeber because they just don't make them like that anymore. Sounds cliche but it is so true. Real power was expensive cause solid amps were made in the USA by real technicians rather than designed here and assembled overseas by somone who hasn't a clue what he's putting together using the cheapest components available. The build quality was better and the good amps spared no expense on quality components making them that much more reliable. There's a reason that there are a bunch of the old Rockford, Soundstream, PPI, Orion and PG amps still plugging along perfectly in a lot of cars, including mine. [/QUOTE]
