Okay, so I haven't had an award winning system since the early 90's, but I'm trying to build one now. I have amassed a stock pile of A/D/S amps (form at least 4 Powerplate 80's to a few pq 20's and ph 15's I have always loved the sound and reliable power they put out with minumum voltage pull. The last system to win me trophies was all A/D/S components; 6 tweets, 2 4's, 4 6 1/2's 2 5 1/4's, 3 pq10's one ph15 and 1 pq20. Subs were 2 Soundstream reference ss-12's. Later replaced by four Boston acoustics 10.4 LF. I loved this system and would like to Do it again except maybe louder. Two of the four BA 10.4's are blown, so I am in the air as far as comparable subs of today go. Also is there a better amp than old school A/D/S out there, or should I just stick to tried and true. I could rebuild my 10's, but there is no way to assure they will sound the same, plus I have a Tahoe now and I'm thinking 3 or 4 12's would really punch it up. The problem that I am finding is that it seems like these days people are all about how far they can flex their windshield rather than how clean their music is. Also the efficiency on most of the popular Subs is so low you need 1.21 jiggawatts and 18 batteries to drive them. Any advise to help bring an old tymer back into the game would be appreciated.
