[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8379952, member: 661255"] Yes I read your comment, no I don;t think the best amps were made back then. If they were so great, why don't they still make them? Don't say the price, because people will pay for good quality. I'm saying a few old school amps can't power a wall of 4" coil subs. Yea they may be efficient, but they were made for subs that were efficient. Modern subs are more focused on power handling, so we can throw lots of power at them and get loud. Power is cheap now. Back then, subs had to be more efficeint, because power was limited/expensive. YES, that does make me stray from OS amps. Do people still use OS subs and amps to compete? Not too often. Newer stuff is louder. Yes, that is why I chose not to run OS amps. [/QUOTE]
