Would you believe I was the last person to buy a PQ20 from Ebay!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220176931566

I was very lucky with this one.
The amp is preteen….looks like it just came out of the box!


Are the amp boards the same? = NO.
Are the PQ10s much easier to find? =YES
Would a (2X)-PQ 10s run 2 channels to each side of a component set be awesome? = YES (you would need to be able to configure the XO to run the tweeter from a single channel….would not be too hard…plus you could have a separate gain control for the tweeter/ woofer……)


If you have your heart set on a 20….good luck, it took me a while to find one.

The only better sounding amps have the word McIntosh on them.

I had no idea that those were worth so much. Some one gave me one a few years ago along with a Nakamichi amp and Nak subs. He wanted to make his BMW lighter and just had a pile of this stuff in the corner of his garage that he had ripped out.

I'll definitely have to give it a go in my next build and see what the fuss is about.

Jamie, it is rare as you know to find a PQ20 that clean!

I have 2 PQ20s and love'em.

Even if you paid the buy it now @ 350$ the amp is wayyyy worth it!

I paid 225 and 250 for my PQs but they do have a few little dings and maybe a scratch (still very nice).

FUnny how the PQ20 is selling for 250-400 and the PH15 is selling for upwards to 900! IMO the PQ is a better choice for most apps. So what if you have 6 channels with a PH, for that money you could buy 2 PQ20 and have 8!!!
(that is sort of what I did less I have mine bridged on a set of Dynas!).

Are those amps really that good? I mean...They are huge and bulky and you don't get much power at all from the specs I have read on them..??? 😕 I have a Alpine in my car that is a lot smaller than these and it puts out 600w of power into a 2 ohm load (Which is plenty for me) for half or triple less the cost that they are asking on some of these. I would rather have a amp like that than a a/d/s...What draws everybody to these brands of amps?? 😕

Yes, they are really that good. You really can't compare those power ratings to a new alpine. the clarity you get with A/D/S is insane if you know how to set it up right. the power is plenty and conservatively rated.

70Wx4 is actually a LOT of power if it's real and usable!

As an experiment, you could go to a music store and have them crank up a Marshall 100W head on a 4x12 cabinet and rip off a couple of power chords for you. Imagine it in your car with the windows up. Now add two more to make it 300W. 😱

ADS amps

I'll vouch for the ADS amps also they are incrediably clean . I just dug one out of the closet I had back in highschool back in 78 put it in my car while trying to fix my other amp. Now I'm gonna keep this in here and find another use for the other amp. Mark L
