I'm about to do a custom build, 80's stuff. Likely planning to sell what I've accumulated as not likely to be used. I have new inbox Set of USD Horn 2 ways.

No PPI SUBs...?

Nice

Holy .um..um.um.um.ummmmm

Still have that same xpl I bought in 1996. Still working today like a champ. One thing that should be known, MADE IN THE USA. Not China like kicker is now. Nothing like taking a good business and selling it to the lowest bidder. Typical America failing for this reason alone. Cheap junk that does not last. A throw away word and the idiots that are in charge for making it this way. I hope this changes to bring quality back to this once great country. Anyway they are and were a good sub.

I have a few pop tops but I cannot remember how to set the chips up. The owners manual doesn’t explain it or have the greatest pictures for dumbass like me. You have any insight that you could help me with on this?

Do you still have these? If so would you sell them?

Ppi needs to revamp these for sure.

I had a PC450 (same era as yours) and out of all the amps I've owned, it sounded the cleanest. Mostly run active on a Soundstream Reference 6.5" component set.

Got a different record

I have E-315Bs I think the E series is definitely notable and underrated, nice CVS tho

Kicker subs were my first fav subs back in the mid to late 90s. Eventually switched to Rockford and now been on JL for a while. But never forget my first few kickers. They were so good back then.

My cousin who stayed with me in high school had three of the Sherwin Vega clear top strokers in the back of his Ford ranger extended cab on 3900 w pioneer amps his shit Banger

Do they make any sub now that takes small space like this JL Audio???

Thanks for this video, can you help me ? I need to know the parameters of X15 it’s described in the nexts pages of this manual showed in this video

All pc class overheat n output card drops a mosfet onto a resistor and bam ur done ive got the plexi and the reg both pc2350. Both busted one card and power supply transistors smoked the other all power supply transistors fkn fried smh. AMPS WITH FKN FANS WILL BREAK 28 years in this n the story wont change. Personally orion xtr pro amps are king shit super clean and huge power no bs promise the 2500.1 fkn does 6krms lmao good day yall

my neighbour just gave me one of these. pretty much the same but has purple inner yellow outer lettering. no idea what the rms power rating is

Just refoamed at pair I found at the local thrift store for $30, I just hooked one up while I’m waiting for the others glue to dry and I’m blown away how punchy these are!! I can’t wait to get both hooked up

Tengo el 5303r y el dsp 2301 ala venta

I have a couple 10s

I had three of these at one time regret selling them

I regret selling an adcom that I had. Very nice sounding amplifiers

I always loved these amps in the early nineties

I've owned lots of amps from various manufacturers and still think the PC450 from 1997 was the best sounding 4 channel amp I've owned. (until the MMATS Hifi 4250 I have currently) Bought the PowerClass 450 used in 2000 for a hundo. Sold it in 2020 for a hundo (still in nearly new condition) to a friend.

I don't know what made me search this but im still running mine in my f150 on the focals. Sounds better than my ppi art series to me. Used to have the their tube amps too but those were underpowered for me. As per one of the owners I spoke with he thought it never caught on as it was too expensive for its time. Some series such as the grenade had a pin you could pull and would render the amp unusable (anti theft). People used to get it bypassed with a resister. Psb powered subs also use their amps

Your friend interested in an old school NIB Pyle Pro 18” sub??

Best solo speaker I steal have my 12” good build I love them

What’s the snr on these

I also have two unused phase shifters . I never finished the car system i was planning due to life getting in the way . Not sure why i bought two at the time , I believe you only need one per system ? Does that sound correct ? Could you see a reason why you would put two of them in a system? Thanks

I got the 2400

I knew a guy that had 2 stroker 18s and you could barely breath when his music was playing

Please show an actual car with these old school amplifiers, that would be a fantastic Trip to Nostalgia going back in infancy of car audio days.

Thanks for this. It brings so much memories. I have unused in box USD two way horns. Anyone?

Found 2 on Facebook marketplace for 100$!

I have a pair of these, they're awesome. Now i need a amp to give them enough juice to enjoy their full potential . It's always something.

After a few other system I finally was able to have two 12s on a zr1000. I was so happy, 1000 watts back then was "alot" (for me at least). I have had some nice subs by than but the zr1000 was the big investment at the time 😂

They'll handle 800RMS. Had buddies running HCCA amps at 1/4 ohm beating the shit out of those speakers.

Wish i could come across that model mines only only handle 500

Bro has all the bass and no gas. In b4 ‘you’re commenting on a 5 year old video’.

Great video. So seems these 12s want .66-.88 cubes net sealed. What is the driver displacement? In other words how big should the box be gross? I picked up a pretty clean one for $30 and get to hear one again for the first time since new in highschool.

Great Collection!!! I have a PPI 445 that’s in very good condition, maybe you’d want to add to collection.

You still have those Rockwoods ? If so are you interested in selling them..let me know..

Would 5 cuft tuned to 34-36hz be too much for a Stroker Pro Classic 18?

Best sounding subwoofers ever made. IMO. I have (2) 15” each ran off of a Diamond Audio 400.2 bridged to 700x1 @ 4ohms and they absolutely hit hard and play deeper than anything in a tiny 1.5 enclosure. Sound quality is outstanding.

Nice collection. Kinda reminds me of the car audio room at Sensuous Sounds in Tampa, Fla. in 1992.

We should talk. I am a large collector of 90s gear as well.

Sick bto

The lead engineer who designed these amplifiers from 1995 -1998 was an engineer for Krell before PPI in the late 80's and was the lead engineer for Krell after leaving PPI in 1998/1999. These are truely high end reference amplifiers the grey/chrome Power Class series where essentially Krell automotive amps have you noticed the similarities. Krell amps of the late 90's/2000's where dark grey PPI Power class the first series where dark grey not just a coincidence but the engineers signature. In an article about his career the engineer states he was designing high end amps while at PPI.

Do these require recapping?

I'm rocking a classic set of them with a Marantz Model 1515. Nothing better to me. I had the AT15s and while they dont boom as well, to me they sound better all around. Vega for me!
