New member Username: Sports_fanPost Number: 10 Registered: Nov-05 | i can get the alpine for $159 brand new, how much is the PG? i am not familiar with that brand, the jl is 300w, wont the 400 be too much?i have a ppi pc2100(the big one) but the audio store told me that was too much power for the jl. |

Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 789 Registered: Feb-06 | what you mean, turn the amp down? i have been running that setup for the past 2 months now with no problems at all. the jl site even says you can give a w3 up to 500wrms before you're in their "danger zone". |

Bronze Member Username: Sports_fanPost Number: 12 Registered: Nov-05 | oh, ok. i am not that good with this stuff, the place where i bought my stalthbox told me that i could not go more than 300w w/o worring about blowing. the stealthbox is $500+ so i just did not want to ruin it and be out that much $. they told me my ppi would have to be turned down so i just wanted to make sure i didn't blow it. do you recomend buyuing a pg on ebay, they have one for like $120. |

Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 791 Registered: Feb-06 | not for a long time, i've had a bad experience with them and now i only buy brand, but i know people that do and like it. just look for a high rating (like 98% or higher), and don't buy from indoaudio, people on this forum have posted he's like a ebay scam artist, always ripping people off and stuff. |

Bronze Member Username: Sports_fanPost Number: 14 Registered: Nov-05 | i would like to buy at a dealer but closest one is over 100 mile away in dayton ohio. thanks for all your help, i will find a way to get the pg. i just didn't know their quality was this good. |
