Silver Member Username: JronPost Number: 133 Registered: Jul-05 | i know the jl audio 300/2 is good, and I talked to a rep from somewhere and he was harping about rockford p-series. i have heard they are not what they used to be. can anyone recommend me a class a/b amp that is in the same range in quality and wattage as the jl? i hear diamond and eclipse are good, but I want to be certain.(specific models would be appreciated). planning to power some d661.s's with it, OR is is pretty much if you go two channel you are getting class ab amps?? thanks. |

Silver Member Username: JronPost Number: 137 Registered: Jul-05 | well pretty sold on that amp man, just was reading on it. think i have decided on diamond d661.s for the front stage with that amp pushing them. i think it will do well. Would you recommend any other particular components?? |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 3089 Registered: Feb-05 | I kind of like how the ppi art's are plain and consistant and clean and powerfull. Most HU's today have built in crossovers like my Premier 860 / You only use one set of crossover anyways. Amp or HU. The ppi art dont confuse people since they only have a gain and you control everything else from the HU or a seperate crossover. |
