Where do you guys find the cyclones? I got 1 with a fried VC... Who should I ask about fixing it? I also want another! I'd LOVE to have 2 in my jeep.

If PG modeled their site like JL and put in a store it would make most of us happy. JL doesn't whore gear out but they do offer support and keep prices in check..... And in turn keep B&M's under control.... Maybe AMMP should be the ONLY online retailer and leave it at that..... All MSRP pricing...

@BH - That seems as if it's more like a EET in digital, but touche. I planned to double major too, but full time school & work plus kids & everything else; I was glad it was finally over and I had kept a high GPA. About the LEDs: After some reading and some posts here, I gathered most of wha...

I don't work for PG so I have no detailed product profiles of failure. And I am sure that it is a state secret at PG. It would be if PG was my company. So I seriously doubt if those sort of files and info are available to anyone except certain PG engineers and management.. Sorry I figured there wou...

I apologize too. I should have stepped back and waited before making that post. It seemed I was being talked down to; had I taken a moment longer to think, it was obvious that wasn't what you intended at all. :oops: Sorry to you and everyone else reading. I guess everyone has learned I'm also a bit ...

Re: Can i come into this thread

Anyone on this forum hear the 4 in the PG van in the states in 96. Man that was serious low bass. Wish I had... But I was only a sophomore in HS at that time... I got my cyclone in 2001 I think. Picked it up practically new for only $300. It lasted about a year. The replacement when I fried the VC ...

Ha! That one X200.2 is Ok. The guy sent me one that worked! LOL. I went through the other 8 amps, and they def. don't work. Ok on to the next X200.2. This one's blue LED does blink. It also makes a high pitch AM radio sort of squeal (from the electronics - no input connected and no speaker attached)...

so that leaves me to believe your a local? Nope, bought them off some guy who was a local. I'm nowhere near PG. And here lies the issue, since these were not worked on then they represent a bag full of surprises, and possibly may not be repairable by normal reasonable means. Your background is in d...

Obviously I'm missing something... What's up guys? I'm not a newbie when it comes to electronics - just to amp repair. My forte is designing electronics systems such as digital controls with microcontrollers, not repairing stuff others design and build, though I've been learning. Note: those amps ca...

No, I haven't contacted them. I once heard it was way to expensive to bother with, so I have kept it for showing off every once in a while.

Fixing Xenon amps

Is there anyone here who's willing to assist in fixing PG Xenon amps? I've begun repairing amps (successfully repaired all 4 I've attempted thus far, but none are a PG). After looking at these Xenon amps, I realized they are a bit more complicated than the ones I've been working on (Orion, Earthquak...

I still have mine. I blew it and haven't been able to throw it away. The paddles are (were?) fine, but I melted the VC. It didn't completely blow, but is scratchy sounding from the VC rubbing... I had the cyclone and four 8" subs in a Pontiac Grand Am GT coupe. Nothing has hit like it since. I ...
