Hey everybody. I finally completed my small collection of PG gear and thought I'd share it on the phorum.
I had been out of the car audio scene for 10 years or so; I was just maintaining a small system in my 99' Si. Then in summer of 2009, the crummy, two-year-old RF P4004 I was using unceremoniously died. So, I decided to take a chance on a used but functional M44 on eBay. I became absolutely hooked on the M-series amps once a swapped out the deadbeat P4004 with the M44! Holy bleep!
A little background: I always admired PG gear from the early to mid 90s while I was in college, but being a poor college student does not allow such luxuries. However, once a got my first job, I went through a PPI/Quart/JL phase before a couple of break-ins left me burned out over the craze (cowardly bastards...I'm not bitter though, I swear!).
So, after a year's worth of collecting, here is my stash. It will soon be installed false-floor style in my Si. I will post pictures of my progress. Not pictured are my Alpine CDA 9884, Alpine CHA S604, 1999 MB Quart Reference comps, LPL44 and RF Punch 12 all of which are currently installed. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Phorum! Beautiful gear! Keep in mind those M series amps can have leaking power supply input capacitors, which will need to be replaced if you want them to last another 15 years!
Thanks to kg1961 (Mike), I have now acquired my NIB Clarion ADCS-1. This HU has been at the top of my collection list for over 15+ yrs and thanks to him, it is now a reality. I have found a mounting cage for it and an owners manual, which it did not come with, online.
I will have some more pics later with it powered up and running, it'll just be later into the summer. I will also have some pics of my newly acquired Auto PC 310 and the 920EQ w/the 7770.
