Its not faily good amp from what I've read but I've never owned one myself, so I can't really give you particulars about how good or bad they are.

What are your goals with your system?

i just want to be able to listen to music more clearly. i don't listen to rap or hip hop much, mostly the electronic clubby stuff.

i was just thinking of a new head unit, components and a sub but was wondering what would be good to power all of that.


also, my exhaust in extremely loud if that matters.

Well given the fact I havent heard the particular amp I can give you good advise on that one amp, I can tell you that my Alpines work very nice and the Xtant's work nicely as well. Quite a few people here use Presicion Power amp...., there's just so many..

Have you done a lot of reading on that amp, what drew you to that one?

Ok why that said take an hour or so and compare them to a few other amps around the same retail price not the eBay price. That why you know what your getting. Go right to the manufactures website and read the specs. Oh and in car audio if a company says "this amp will put out 600watts of power and the amp is the size of a small book then there lying) if an amp is big theres a good possibility it will put out bigger more accurate power not some fantasy power number.

Allen, the titanium line of PG is considered to be one of the finest amps you can buy. If you got a good deal, get it. If you need help with installing, you know you can give me a holla!
