In my senior year of highschool(2000) I had a PPI art series amp pushing 2 15’ Orion HCCA’s. Them jokers made my 72 Chevelle quake like no other. I did a lot of overtime and trading to get that system but today kids got it made. The watt per dollar value today makes it so much more obtainable for a bangin system. That’s my option anyway. 🔊 💥

I absolutely love the old PPI amps. I'm still running a PowerClass PC4400.2 in my van, driving a set of Rainbow 6.5" components up front in active mode. I also have a PPI DCX124 12 inch sub in the back that is rated for 1000W RMS, running off an old MB Quart Q1.1500D mono amp & that does punch pretty well. These PPI equipment take a beating everyday & I have yet to experience any issues. No overheating, no coil burning smells, nothing.

Home audio nuts have known this for years. High quality amps for two channel home use can cost 10K or more and weigh in at over 60 pounds easy. My favorite is a nice Luxman L-509AX integrated, which puts out "only" 120 WPC at 8 ohms and 220 WPC at 4, with very good dynamic power. It would be interesting to see what the Luxman would do on the dyno - LMAO. Honestly while it may not be that impressive from a pure power standpoint, the sound from an amp like the 509 AX is otherworldly through correspondingly high quality speakers. Class D is great for providing the raw power required by subs to reproduce very low frequencies, and powered subs for home theatre use are awesome, but nothing is better than high quality Class A and Class A/B for accurate 40 HZ and up bass, as well as clean mid and high range sound in a critical listening environment. This old 90's era PPI Class AB amp has some of those good traits I suspect. I like power as much as the next guy, but I like finesse too. Class D has come a long way though, one can spend big bucks and get truly high end performance out of a well deisgned system for home use. Some go with Crown Amps, which are surprisingly smooth and good sounding now, inexpensive to buy for the built in EQ and stupid power they provide.

Still one of the very best combos I had run, but I wish I had played with Image Dynamics subs back then. I have a IDQ 10 d2 v4 now and holy crap does that little 10 kill the JL stuff I had been loyal to for so long. Makes me wanna hunt down the old gear and build a new system.

Nice amp! I remember those well. The dynamic power doesn't have much to do with capacitance. The power supplies on these old PPI amps were so stiffly regulated that the rails just don't sag under load, which also means they have little to no dynamic headroom. This is evidenced by their full power operation at low voltages. Also the bridged power into 2 Ohms is only .3 dB or so below rated so you'd never hear that.

True and true. Regulated amps don’t allow big dynamic bursts

It actually looks nearly identical to a boss amp that I have and have had for 25 years... So much so while watching this video I've been kind of thinking wondering if there's some connection between them and why don't I go dig that old boss amp out and see what she'll do these days I just had her on a couple of JL audio 10"s back in the day, and I did truly love that sound you couldn't tear those JL audio 10s up for nothing!!!! AND THEY WOULD HIT SO HARD I MEAN EVERYTHING COULD BE WRONG ABOUT THE WHOLE SETUP AND THOSE JAILS WILL JUST COME THROUGH LIKE LIKE HEROES!!! I JUST DIDN'T SEEM TO BE VERY PICKY WHATEVER YOU GAVE THEM, THEY MADE THE BEST OF IT!! Anyway sorry for the tangent thanks for the video guy

Edit: I was using a very similar amp for well over 20 yrs. Still works great! Maybe the same but different vintage? Mine says 2050AM 2x50 Mosfet Power Series. Similar graphic with slightly different colors. I'd estimate this is from 1995 or so. Just recently replaced this with a CT 80x4. Keeping the amp just to have it :)

That woofer at one point was moving like a..... FAMILY FRIENDLY CHANNEL! Nelson Pass and others have been saying for years that certain output devices often have characteristics that are unmatched by other kinds of parts used in the signal chain or in the output stage. or maybe it's just the way that it's made. Big Power, and a lot of it just sounds better being a high current design I would gather. And if your heater is ever broken in your car, just install a few of these amplifiers.
