OK.. Brace yourself.. this is a long one.
Here are some car audio pieces I've collected over the years. Anything I post here works. I set up a test bench in my garage and tested all the amps a week ago. Froze my ass off doing it, it was fun though. All of these amps sound amazing. The first two I list here are my favorite, and I do not feel like budging on the price of these because they are worth it if you are looking for exceptional sound quality. And I think that I would have a hard time finding them in the future. If you want to hear any of them, you could stop by and I'd hook them up for a test.
Macrom SP4.050
This is a beauty. I never got to install it in my car, but if it doesn't sell, I will
. When I was testing all of my amps, I had them hooked up to a pair of oldie but goodie Polk s4 bookshelf speakers. This amp sounded very nice. Clean and warm, easy to listen to for a while. Plus it looks nice. It is in excellent condition. $200.00

Alpine MRV 1505
This one is a beast. TONS of power. Clean power. And you will not fit this amp under a seat... It's big. I am partial to Alpine amps. The first really good system I ever did had an old V13 4-channel amp running bridged to my fronts and it sounded amazing. This one reminded me of why I like the V12's so much. It is in good shape with few blemishes. As the pictures show, the regular mounting block for the remote wire has been replaced by a wire which was soldered onto the internal block. Whoever did the solder job did it good. It's solid. When Alpine makes an amp, they test it and write down what the actual output is vs. what the specified output is for that model. They have always been known to be very conservative with the power ratings of these old amps. The 2 channel amp I'm selling is listed at 50W x 2 at 4ohms, but the test sheet shows an actual of 87W x 2 at 4ohms. I'll put up a pic when I find the sheet. Anyway, these will probably always be my favorite amps. $200.00

Alpine MRV-F401
Similar to the 400. Same specs. My first system that I mentioned earlier had one of these running bridged, powering my old Sony Mobile ES components and it sounded so nice that I bought this one a couple years ago and the same speakers so I could rebuild it. I don't really want to sell it, but I've got a 400S on my shelf, which is the same thing in a different shell, and needs a little work. This one was in my last car running a set of Diamond Audio Hex 6" comps and a 10" sub. Loved it. Sounds sweet. Has some physical blemishes. $115.00

XTANT X603
I've had this amp since it was new and have had it installed in a couple different cars. It's pretty big, but has lots of clean power and is expandable. I've got a Remote gain module that I'm including with it. There are a lot of things you can do to it, like add a bass module, parametric EQ modules, add different level of attenuation modules to adjust the passive rear speakers if you wanted to use rears. You can also change the little resistor packs in the EQs to tailor it to your system. It is in good shape. There are some blemishes on the front, but nothing terrible. $200.00

Diamond Audio Hex S600s
These are great. I had these installed in my Mazda 6i with the Alpine. I had to make some custom wood baffles to mount them, but the sound was worth the work. The first pair has everything with them, but one of the tweeter mounts has a crack, which is seen in one of the pictures, but it still works fine. The second set has no mounting hardware for the tweeters and no box or manual. Both sets are in good physical condition. I left the wires on one of the speakers because the head of one of the wiring screws is stripped a bit and I don't want to strip it any more. One screw is missing from one of the crossovers, which would only be useful if you plan on using the passive rear output of the crossover. The second pair has some rust that could be easily cleaned up on the wire mounts. Asking $265.00 for the complete set.
Asking $215.00 for the other set.

I had the 6.5' speakers installed in one of my old cars and the wires came off of one of the tweeters when I uninstalled them Someone who is good with soldering could fix it. I'm going to sell the set I bought plus the 5.25" mid / crossover set I bought for 100 bucks years ago.
I'm asking $120.00 for them.

Dash kit for Mazda 6
I had this installed in my last car. It's in great shape. Just missing one plastic clip on the back, which would probably cost a buck to get one from Metra. $125.00
... DONE ... ugh... It's a damn marathon listing. I'm glad that is done with. Well, if anybody sees anything interesting, let me know. I could test stuff too if anybody is seriously interested and wanted to see it work.
Thanks for looking,
Charlie
