I LOVE My Rockford Fosgate Power 1000 25 to Life 5ch amp...... my Polk Audio mid + high components.... my Dayton 8" mid-bass drivers, and my 12" eD 13Kv.2 subs.... oh, and my Kenwood Excelon X792 HU.....

Come to think about it, theirs no equipment in my setup that I regret buying. It all works / sounds, just the way I intended it too.

Sure, theirs more stuff I want to do with my system (sound deadening, digital sound processor, relocation of my mid-bass drivers, etc) but for what I have now, my system sounds really clean and balanced, and gets pretty loud too. I couldn't be happier :-)

Personally speaking, I think the build (for most of your system) and the enclosure (for your sub(s) has more to do with the final product, than the exact brand of the equipment.

Peace,

Fish

AudioControl has been Mid line at best. They had the virtue of early innovation and marketing. More than a few have failed due to power supplies. The noise floor is horrible. If you buy the stuff knowing it's Mid level, fine. The Best? Not by a long shot...

Well, since this link was re-posted I decided to vote. Maybe there are a ton of new members like me that have not seen this poll and would like to give their .02 also.

For years I have wished to own a complete Zapco system. Heck, at the time they didn't even make speakers yet (none that I remember). I have always been impressed with how clean and powerful Zapco systems sound. Now, I can almost afford one. Poll: Favorite Car Audio Brand, Updated - Page 15 -- posted image.

Im all about oldschool power. PPI Power Class, PPI Art Series, Orion HCCA, and US Amps. I would goto the audio shops and drool over this gear when it was new, couldnt afford it at the time.

I have a PPI PC2350 and PPI PC450 in my closet. Still trying to decide if I will put a system together.

Is oldschool gear an option? LOL
