Massive Precision Power, PPI collection update !

Keith was kind enough to get out his entire PPI collection. Saying it's large is an understatement.

One heck of a gorgeous amplifier. Has more jumper pins than you would believe. I unfortunately don't have much information on this amp other than what I have read online.

An absolutely gorgeous amplifier from Orion. One of my dream amps. I forgot to mention that these came out in 1994 and had an MSRP of $1,150.

Looking for information on these old school legends. They look to be some of the nicest subs I've ever seen. Very well built subs.

Which one do you want to see? I have the old, old school ECD-413 pull-out, the middle line 5331 from '95, top of the line 5302 from '96, or the beast from the east 5303?
Rockwood WR-1908, WR-80, Detonator, Squadron I-17 series, or whatnot.

Just refoamed at pair I found at the local thrift store for $30, I just hooked one up while I’m waiting for the others glue to dry and I’m blown away how punchy these are!! I can’t wait to get both hooked up
Tengo el 5303r y el dsp 2301 ala venta
I have a couple 10s
I had three of these at one time regret selling them
I regret selling an adcom that I had. Very nice sounding amplifiers
I always loved these amps in the early nineties
I've owned lots of amps from various manufacturers and still think the PC450 from 1997 was the best sounding 4 channel amp I've owned. (until the MMATS Hifi 4250 I have currently) Bought the PowerClass 450 used in 2000 for a hundo. Sold it in 2020 for a hundo (still in nearly new condition) to a friend.
I don't know what made me search this but im still running mine in my f150 on the focals. Sounds better than my ppi art series to me. Used to have the their tube amps too but those were underpowered for me. As per one of the owners I spoke with he thought it never caught on as it was too expensive for its time. Some series such as the grenade had a pin you could pull and would render the amp unusable (anti theft). People used to get it bypassed with a resister. Psb powered subs also use their amps
Your friend interested in an old school NIB Pyle Pro 18” sub??
Best solo speaker I steal have my 12” good build I love them
What’s the snr on these
I also have two unused phase shifters . I never finished the car system i was planning due to life getting in the way . Not sure why i bought two at the time , I believe you only need one per system ? Does that sound correct ? Could you see a reason why you would put two of them in a system? Thanks
I got the 2400
I knew a guy that had 2 stroker 18s and you could barely breath when his music was playing
Please show an actual car with these old school amplifiers, that would be a fantastic Trip to Nostalgia going back in infancy of car audio days.
Thanks for this. It brings so much memories. I have unused in box USD two way horns. Anyone?
Found 2 on Facebook marketplace for 100$!
I have a pair of these, they're awesome. Now i need a amp to give them enough juice to enjoy their full potential . It's always something.
After a few other system I finally was able to have two 12s on a zr1000. I was so happy, 1000 watts back then was "alot" (for me at least). I have had some nice subs by than but the zr1000 was the big investment at the time 😂
They'll handle 800RMS. Had buddies running HCCA amps at 1/4 ohm beating the shit out of those speakers.
Wish i could come across that model mines only only handle 500
Bro has all the bass and no gas. In b4 ‘you’re commenting on a 5 year old video’.
Great video. So seems these 12s want .66-.88 cubes net sealed. What is the driver displacement? In other words how big should the box be gross? I picked up a pretty clean one for $30 and get to hear one again for the first time since new in highschool.
Great Collection!!! I have a PPI 445 that’s in very good condition, maybe you’d want to add to collection.
You still have those Rockwoods ? If so are you interested in selling them..let me know..
Would 5 cuft tuned to 34-36hz be too much for a Stroker Pro Classic 18?
Best sounding subwoofers ever made. IMO. I have (2) 15” each ran off of a Diamond Audio 400.2 bridged to 700x1 @ 4ohms and they absolutely hit hard and play deeper than anything in a tiny 1.5 enclosure. Sound quality is outstanding.
Nice collection. Kinda reminds me of the car audio room at Sensuous Sounds in Tampa, Fla. in 1992.
We should talk. I am a large collector of 90s gear as well.
Sick bto
The lead engineer who designed these amplifiers from 1995 -1998 was an engineer for Krell before PPI in the late 80's and was the lead engineer for Krell after leaving PPI in 1998/1999. These are truely high end reference amplifiers the grey/chrome Power Class series where essentially Krell automotive amps have you noticed the similarities. Krell amps of the late 90's/2000's where dark grey PPI Power class the first series where dark grey not just a coincidence but the engineers signature. In an article about his career the engineer states he was designing high end amps while at PPI.
Do these require recapping?
I'm rocking a classic set of them with a Marantz Model 1515. Nothing better to me. I had the AT15s and while they dont boom as well, to me they sound better all around. Vega for me!
what did you do to get the strobe light fixed i have a sl 1300 technics turn table
I had the same problem on the strobe light
I still have 12 w6 and 18w6 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍
I Worked at 90s As technics , at Canoga Park City for Lanzar. My memories may me feel emotional, all this things. I remain almost everything.
Nice! My old school collection is massive to. Our tailgate bus is mixture of new JL and old school JL. Still have all my Phoneix Gold, PPI, Zapco and Orion stuff. Could probably outfit 8-9 vehicles still. Can never bring myself to get rid of it.
😂
It would be nice to see ppi do some real good shit nowadays...looks like they jus got some cheap shit out now
I worked at Orion, speaker division. You're not mentioning the ferro fluid that helped with voice coil temps. They could handle 800 watts, I did ample destructive test on these and the extreme subs.
I have the same version in a 15" do you possibly have the spec sheet and box build sheet for the sub?
W6's sound great ported. I ran 3 W6 15's on a PPI 2350. hey were in a large ported box tuned to 25hz. Those things would shake the fillings out of your teeth.
They had two different tier of these flat piston subs. Are these they upper or "lower" tier?
They had the PowerClass and the ProClass. ProClass being the better of the two
@@stang892k5 Thank you. I almost bought the pro class 12's but went with Jl w6 I stead. I was into AOL at the time so I think I made the right decision. Those flat piston subs sounded really clean from what I remember.
Still have these?
Those are later version. I had the 96 version with the screen printed dust cap.
I don’t think it has to be better to sell a ton of woofers; just AVAILABLE. 😂🔊
Been a while since I've seen amps with power wires extending out of the amp assembly. I had a beautiful purple anodized unregulated linear power amp that I literally just gave away. Wish I had it back just for it's aesthetic properties alone.
Worst Motel Sex ever?! 😂
Mine was just like this. Buy mine did have dust cap line in the center
I need you to come and sell my old, beat up Hyundai. You could sell anything.
