you need to change your Phorum name...

I'd be interested to know what settings for active to as a base..??

Thanks

Very nice.. T. Hoover is Tom Hoover, a Chrysler engineer like Joerg stated, who is known as the father of the Hemi.

Another Mopar guy..

Excellent work.. I may need your help some day.

Mine was a M100 which I used to replace my RF Punch 200ix to run my two 15 inch RF woofers (15 years ago) ... now I have 4 PG amps in various states of disrepair, working on a project that will use a M50 and a XVR12 in my Pickup. No more RF here.

How about an authorized online retailer that doesn't offer bargain basement prices.. Crutchfield comes to mind. Not sure if they would be interested, just thought of them. Plus if they carried PG, I could go their store in Charlottesville and they would be local.

That is about what I had in the 90's.. 2 15 RF subs in the back seat of my 1978 Chrysler Cordoba powered by a M100 bridged... and 2 3 1/2 Kicker R3's in the dash off the deck... My friends called the car Chocolate Thunder.. (it was a metallic brown color). Now being old, like what Nick was saying, m...

I have an XVR12 and I am going old school (90's)... using it my little standard cab pickup truck with an M50 and a 2 ohm single 10 inch woofer.. If you shop around, I am sure you can find it more inexpensively. I think I got mine about 5 years ago for 60 bucks.

V-6, 305 HP, 31 MPG. This is the car that gives me hope the Obama administration/current senate new Cafe standards will not ruin performance cars for the common man! And, I myself am a Mopar guy. Still won't buy one, but I hope it causes GM and Chrysler to step up.

Brent

I 2nd that...

Thanks for clearing that up Morgan...

I am going with an M50 and a XVR.. we will see how things shape up...

I will be glad to list all of the Stinger wiring,sound damping,fuse holders,distro blocks and batteries in my truck but last time I check this was the Phoenix Phorum. I will post more pics of the build if you want including the SPL meter test of 2 13w7's campared to 8 R210d tens running off the sam...

Wow, lots of equipment... be sure to post the finished product... I know I will, just don't know how long it will be until I get mine done.

I have a 2000 Dakota Standard cab and I am planning a small install. I have found too that you don't realize how much you like your plain everyday ride, until you don't have it. The plan is... 1 M50 (in the process of recapping), Qforms kick panels, a PG R6 component set, PG R5.25 coaxials, a 3 inch...

Call me a conspiraracy theorist... but these days I think you need to stick with what is paid for. I don't think you want to be dependent on any bank.

I am pleased that this forum is held in such high regard by PG. Eric is not going to be swayed by magazine advertisements or endorsements, that's for sure!

Right now I have a pair of BB OPA627AU SMD chips on 2 single 8-pin adapters for the Op amps. This is for the uniqueness factor. I found a cheaper alternative to the more expensive brown dog adapters. If it doesn't work, I'll change it back to a more widely accepted op amp solution.

Brent

Eric D- you continue to be a big help to me, and everyone in this forum.. I have another question. The devices to the left of the FET's are what devices? I know one is labled "SF163", "SF163A" and look like they have a difference in polarity labeled as: ~+~ and ~-~ respectively. ...

I thought the general consensus was it's a total waste of time 'upgrading' these as you can't even hear it. In my case, I like to "indvidualize" my car, my computer, almost anything I tinker with. While you are right that you probably can't "hear" it. If it makes it more bullet ...

Can you tell me more about these "PWM" drivers? Are these the items that have the "DII 42" reference? I noticed on mine, they don't match like they seem to on some repairs that you have done. Is it important for those to match? Thanks for your patience...

Brent

I have been at my quest to rebuild the "ultimate" M50 for awhile now. I have used the excellent posts here, like Eric D's resistor flush with the heatsink method, as well as the cap replacement and some Burr Brown op amps. This leads to my next question. I saw a post some where on here tha...

It seems like in one of these posts in rebuilding a M50, someone recommended replacing the ZR44 FETS with the ZR48 model. They mentioned this is because the device can handle more current, so it would be an upgrade. Does anyone have any ideas or feedback about this?

Brent

I am hoping I can get some assistance with this. I bought a PG M50 off the bay awhile back. While I was in the process of inspecing the amp to re-cap it I noticed it had been "repaired". One of the black Toshiba output devices (2SC3281) has been replaced with a generic one. I can't see tha...

Wow the conjecture and discussion has been great.. I am glad that I had the question regarding my M50. Thanks for the well thought out responses and the assistance.
