It may only be 400 watts but the high current output of those amp were insane. And that gave it the clarity that had also. I used to run the old early 90s hifonics amps. I ran a 400w Boltar on 2 12’s and had it turned close to all the way down, they reach their xmax with it all the way down.

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.

I knew you were getting amps in the mail and however else you get them but I had no clue you had that many i mean... Man that's crazy to see something like that and that was just a percentage I'm sure. I'd love to just see all the amps in person that I grew up wishing I had in the 90s pee peeping magizines.

Those PPI "graffiti" amps were unbelievable. Super delicate tho never any fuses.

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.

@@wal2 Me either, Crutchfield and Special Edition were made by PPI.

The old school amps,just have a different sound. Old school PPI,HIfonics, Fosgate,MTX,etc, produced crushing bass and very warm mids,and crisp highs. 90's amps has something going on
