Default Old school amps

I installed Facal components upfront and Focal 2way in the rear. I need an amp so I've looked at some pawn shops. I found a PPI a600.2 art series, Phoenix Gold lx450, and Alpine v12 mrvf307. I think the PPI is a 2 channel. When I was into car audio years ago these brands were king. Should I get one of these or go new?

They are good but why trust stuff from a pawn shop?

Gotta love those art series. Is it the white with multi colored graphics or the black with red diagram?

Very nice, back in my competition days I ran a black and red a 404 in 3 channel mode. I also had my audio control crossover and eq painted black and re screened in red to match. Won many of shows with that set up

Decided to go with the Phoenix Gold lx450. It's the black model which is worth more but anyway it only has a few scuffs. I may decide to get the PPI for my sub as well.

the tI series was nice as well. They have made some nice stuff recently too. The Xenon series is well regarded and the newer elites are fantastic
