are they still in business? I just read on SD that they went out...? if so thats a shame

long live the M16

http://www.alumapro.com/

i have a local dealer and he's still getting new stuff all the time. I dont think they went under. the m16 was not even that great really, the Alchemy is what kicked ass for the money. I bought a used 10 for like 40 shipped off ebay and went wround and sold it for 200. awsome sub, even at 200.

i ran a alumapro this year. i had it laying around after i sould my AQ 10 and dropped in the the Aq's old box and it sounded great. then i sold it to my cuzin. had like 700 watts on it too

5 Memphis 12's on a hifonics 1000w amp brought my love of bass and music in general to life. All i know for now, my brothers car, not mine (i wish).

pioneer radios always had theme and they are awsome... thats why i sell at least 4 a day at work

only had kicker and mtx amps and they were pretty great. The MTX was a TA4501 500@ 2ohm ran it and 1 ohm never shut off or got hot

kicker subs is all i had but i have a buddy with a 7500 series MTX that has been pushed to about four inches of excursion, and another guy i know put 6K on older 15 BTL

and diamond M6 mids and hi gets pretty loud and sound damn good

Pioneer head units are the best I've ever had. I just love my second pr88rs !

As a french, I must say Focal is wonderful, from low to high end speakers (I don't like their subs, though).

I have just ordered a new sub here : 15" SSA Icon. Nobody seems to like this brand, wth ??!!!

We are on SSA forum, and I don't see a lot of people talking about Sundown amps or sub, SSA,...

I hope I won't be disappointed with my 15Icon!!!!!!!!!!*

I'll go by items for this one.

HU: From day 1 I've always loved Clarion (back in '92), my 1st HU was a Clarion 6770, my 2nd HU was a Clarion DRX9175L= stolen so I got my 3rd HU a Clarion DRX9375r. I sense aquirred a PG ZPA0.5 amp and needed a hotter signal and sense a friend of mine has always been an Eclipse fan (back in '92 as well, his 1st HU was the Eclipse ECD-415) my wife got me the Eclipse CD8455 for my birthday. So those are my top two choices for HUs.

Speakers: The Dynaudio System 242 MKII were the best I've ever had. I've been through a lot of components and favs are, Dynaudio, Morel, PG, Focal, Clarion top line, and the older MB Quarts.

Subs: First and formost, TREO. Hands down love em. PGs XMAX, XS, Ti Elite, and Cyclone, and Kickers round Solo-barics.

Amps: Where to start??? My first amp was a Clarion APA4160. Loved it, ran it hard and it never faultered. Kickers ZR/ZX/XS amps. Very under rated and built to last. The winner has to go to Phoenix Gold though with their ZX/ZPA series amps. Even back to the M series. PG built them for pure raw SQ power. Love them so much today that I still run them.

Processors: Audio Control for their top quality and features and PGs older stuff, ie the 215ix, EQ230/232, Basscube.......

For HU's gotta go with Pioneer...especialy the Premier line. Great head units....fantastic service. Have owed Pioneer for 15 years. Only HU I will buy

Amps - OLS SKOOL SOUNDSTREAM REFERENCE........PERIOD. Reference 500 is a freakin tank!!!!! Regret selling it. Arc KS, DLS and Sundown are up there as well.

Sub - Image Dynamics Q12v2. Amazing SQ and loud enough for my old ears.

Comps......HAT......I liked them so much I'll buy them!!!

Processing...Audio Control.....EQT's are the best. Miss my ESP-2.
