FS: Precision Power ART series A600.2
i have one up for sale, in good working and cosmetic condition. i will have pictures of the amp soon, but for now, text will have to do. it is white and i would rate it 8.5/10. price is $250 shipped.
this amp does 150x2 @ 4 ohms, 300x2 @ 2 ohms, 600x1 @ 4 ohms bridged. all ratings have been tested @ 12 volts.
heres something rcurley55 had to say about them.

If you need the owner's manuals, I have them.
Let me give you and others looking at this a brief history of these amps.
The art series is really what gave PPI it's reputation and built the brand to what it was a few years ago as being one of the premier Car Audio manufacturers around. These amps were produced from around 1994-1997. Take a look at any car audio magazine from this era, and you will find the following combo in many of the winning cars - MBQuart comps, Audio Control processors, Alpine head's, JL subs......and you guessed it Art Series amps.
The Art lineup is about the third lineup of amps produced by PPI that I know of. It started with the A line, then the AM line-up IIRC.
The Art lineup followed next, and are almost legendary. These amps have a very unique heat sink design, and each amplifer model had custom art work applied to them. They came in two colors, White and Black. The white amplifiers had colorful, custom silk screened graphics on them - each were hand drawn by an artist - and each model has artwork unique to itself. The black amplifiers had a matte finish with the circuit/component layout silkscreened on the amplifier in gloss black.
These amps also featured a nicely regulated power supply that would keep output constant between 11 and 15V. The nomeclature on the amps is consistant with RMS output - not the overrated - only if it's hit by lightning it makes this power naming style that is so popular now. Therefore, an A600 is 600w x 1 @ 4 ohm mono, or 150x2 @ 4 ohm stereo - and so forth. Power, as FoxSi alluded to is underrated.
PPI only included crossovers on two amplifiers from this era - the Ax606 and the Ax400. The Ax606 was 50 x 6 at 4 ohm mono, but the last two channels were optimized for 1 ohm stereo operation. It also included a FRX-456 in the chassis for a fully electronic crossover that you could bandpass - if you want a system amp that will run it all - this is the ticket. The Ax400 is a 50 x 4 amp and the crossover is controlled by some switches on the bottom of the amp.
These amps were built like tanks! A testament to that fact is that out of the 10 that I purchased from different sources on the internet - all 10 work flawlessly!!! Despite the fact that some have seen better days, they still work like new and sound beautiful!
These amps were built back when craftsmanship meant something to manufactureres. You will find some A series that included custom colored silkscreening from the factory (call up most MFG's and ask for that now...) and there was even a water cooling option!!
This amps simply won't disappoint, and are really a part of car audio history!</TD></TR></TABLE>
