amps

Does anyone know of a place where I could get a good price on a PCX2125 amp. The price varies a lot, so any help would be appreciated.

Why don't you save money for Zapco or Arc Audio and enjoy a little more power?

well, not gonna say much, but just to give you the hint, we got the second place in IASCA competition in California (profesional class) and the 5th place in world finals. (Red Toyota Tacoma truck).

They provide true 85 watts per chanel (go up to 100 watts) which is enogh to get the CORRECT sound.

They are not cheap though. The wholesale is 450 dollars. they sell it for over 1000 dollars. And it is made in USA

Thanx for the hook up mikesburn. We might work something out.

Hey maybe you could help me out with something? I went to a local audio shop, and the guy was trying to sell me some ok amps. When I asked If he had heard of Zapco or Arc he looked at me like he had seen a ghost! Then he was like "Where did you here about those?"
So I just said never mind. Is there a reason he would react like this? Is there something I'm missing here?

Contact Pearl96Max @ Unexpected Creations(authorized Arc audio dealer) and best prices

or check here for local dealers

Your average audio shop does not sell anything but your average mainstream stuff (RF/JL audio/Kicker) etc......because most people buy for name brands- but audiophiles need look a bit to get the best-well worth it- Good luck

MannyNJ2k2max is right, these guys know what their boss tells them to sell and what their buddies got on sale. They never attended competitions and that's why these products were new for them. Don't go to those avarage shops where they are trying to hook you up with some "cool stuff", but get some really proffessional equipment. Well, am done :-)

Plus remember, ARC and Zapco are not for the majority of the crowd. The same with Macintosh and TRU Tecnology. Those amp run 2000 dollars. Isn't that unbeleivable. No **** they don't know anything about these products.
