I would be willing to use another PG amp but I really want to buy new and not buy a used one. I am torn because I really like the PG 600.2 & 400.2 ti's but I can't seem to find one in excellent working and running condition. I would think you would be able to find a pair of those. I mean their ...

The ZX350 or TI400 are about 115 Watts RMS. I power my seperates with about 2 x100 watts and in my daily driver 2 x 65 watts (which I have actually lowered the gain down quite a bit, because the sub doesn't keep up) I have tried higher powers on them (200 watts and 350 watts) and its just unuseable ...

A Cyclone only need 150 Watts 8 Ohms, so they recommend an amp with approx 300 watts @ 4 Ohms.

A ZX500 is overkill (600x1), I would use one side of the ZX450 bridge. I am going to use a M50.

I know someone who works as an installer in Car Audio. He installed JL's shallow mounts and thought the Rockford Fosgate flat subs sound better (His quote was something like 'it pains him to say it but...')

I have an Exile Xtec. I like it, but I haven't used it much.

How much room do you have for mounting depth? Some subs avertise 5" shallow mount while others need 3", their is a big difference in selection.

My favorite is the Outlaw. I like the graphics, and it has enough power to run whole system for me. M-Series is what got me into PG. I wouldn't mind have a SOFAS or a MS1000(ta) though either. Those amps look great mount with the internals exposed. The large PG amps are impressive when installed, bu...

Resistor would take knock down some of the power to your tweeter. I imagine 1 Ohm or 2 Ohm would ve all you need, but I have no real world experience playing with them in an audio enviorment.

The Xenon's had a manufacturing problem with the first run. Thew problem show up when you use them. I wouldn't buy a new in box Xenon, I would prefer used Xenon for that reason.

The normal TI cases have rust issues.

I was continuing my ebay search for a eclipse 8454 when I came across a pretty clean CD8445 BIN for $200. I have seen the 8454's selling for that, but not many in a while, so I figured it was a bit high, but still fair. I wrote the guy, and asked him if he would take $200 shipped, basically saving ...

The resistor themselves are an easy fix. I would guess the root cause is something else that burning out the reisitors though.

They are built in South Korea by Zenon. Very good track record of amplifiers that have come out of there. I would imagine the 'circuit design' is done in South Korea as well.
