1997 Precision Power PC2150 Amp Dyno Test

I get lots of requests to test amplifiers, but probably more Precision Power than any other brand. Here we put the 1997 "Power Class" PC2150 on the Amp Dyno. Amp is rated to deliver:

150x2 at 4 ohms (300x1 at 8 ohms)
300x2 at 2 ohms (600x1 at 4 ohms)

Let's see how it performs...

Thx for this testing this one, big D. I currently have around nine of these Power class amps (almost all different model numbers) and I love 'em. Clean power and USA-built quality. Interesting to see how well the 2150 performs👍😬

What was the big mono block Precision power amp? My buddy had that shit pushing 3 JL W6 10s in a ford exploerer, that shit was banging!  He then bough tlike a 180amp altenator for that truck and it picked up a ton of power, so loud for what it was!  Miss the 90s man those really were the days!

I have had the '99 50x4 version of this amp in my daily driver for the past eighteen years.

Big D. I have a lot of experience with PPI growing up in Tempe Arizona and surrounding myself around car audio in Alma Gates back in the day. Something to note with the power class amplifiers. They will take a huge amount of input voltage and in doing so you will see some dramatic power gains. They say they are rated to accept up to 12 volts input but realistically they start to clip around 8.5 to 9 volts.

I had one of those back in the day. Ran at 1 ohm. When I bought it the shop would not set it up at one ohm and they said PPI stood for Pretty Poor Investment. I beat their house car after figuring out how to set everything up properly. It was a pretty good amp and ran for many years with no issues. Now im in my 40s and deaf as a doornail. Yea for me!

The first PC amps sounded beautiful and were well made. Only thing I didn't like was the fan cooling, which obviously helped a lot, but if you mount them in the cabin you can hear the fan which speeds up as the amp gets warmer.

I used to have this amp back in the day, never knew the wattage so Thx bigdwizz, I had it hooked to a 12" kicker L7 dvc 4ohm

I have the ppi pc 250, 450. ( have had both since the 90s in my civic that is almost done getting rebuilt.) I now have a pc2100, 2150 and a 650. I will be putting the 650 in for the 3 way fronts, and the 450 for the rears with the 2150 for my subs. Putting all my old gear back in my car. qm series 6.5 mb quarts in the back. 5.0lf boston pros in the front with matching tweets. Now i need a pair of old school 8 midbass. Any advice?

Hope you get a chance to dump a PC21400.2 or PC2350 I've got several and I'm curious

[Emptyrockpoolfishing]

I had one bridged driving two of the last round solobarics that had chrome baskets, old car use to flex the back windscreen and bounce the wipers off the front screen.Great combo

[phillipbainbridge]

Love these amps. Had one & loved it, stolen along with about 15 other amps.

[memfan]

The name Precision Power just sounds great!

[BINNASTY]

this was my first amp.
it was awesome however I had to send it off for repair all the time.
the white one with triangles was the good one imo.

[pppito]

Great video like always. I also have ppi pc2150 I would like to get a single speaker for it, what would you recommend.

[whywhy]

I have a couple questions I have a ppi 2350 and want to see a test done
