Wow, wow, wow, I'm indeed old school myself, and guess what, while searching around to see if this amp is even talked about, I actually have one I purchased brand new at a pawn shop back around 1998, and it has sat, and sat, and sat in the original box, styrofoam and plastic cover, not a scratch, never installed, because I had other equipment and this amp was so large //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif.

I actually have the following old school stuff: AudioControl EQX, Autotek 7006 3rd octave EQ, 1 Orion 12" DVC sub, a Kenwood DPX 5010 double din, a Rodek 250 amplifier and a Jensen amp that was under the wife's passenger seat; we never knew it existed until the car got totalled 2 wks ago LOL, like 110 x 2..... oh and the kicker, a Phoenix Gold PLD1 Pro line driver. I'm going through trying to design a good solid system with these components, but definitely not all of them, just something to make jazz swing, or some moderate but clean sound. Anyone got any ideas??? I am a "reformed" bass head so I just want clean and accurate, not gaudy and boomy.

Thanks All!!!
