Do the caps fail with use or time? I have a chance to buy a zx amp with 20hrs on it. Do I need to recap it?

yah, love my little truck. it's an 08 f350 kings ranch. I've gone all led lights to include fog and a light bar in the bumper. air system that feeds the air bags, horns and an outlet for tools. then the audio system that is on going. the latest is putting 8" mid bass in the kicks. on the driver...

load leveling. it's a 1 ton that i haul a trailer with.

thanks guys, knew someone here would have the answer.

I have a controller for the airbags on my truck. They are simple airlift bags for hailing heavy loads, not air suspension. the remote is huge and i would like to integrate in the dash or console. the problem it it runs off three 1.5v aaa batteries, i would want to eliminate these and power directly ...

gain setting and sound Q crap.....

where did he find the perfect size trash can? bet he went to dozens of Wal-marts before he was successful.

that would be some cool wall art...... for sure!

any announcements by PG at SEMA

did you use top lit, or side lit led's?

what are you putting them in?

That is so cool. you totally changed the look of them. did you sand them? or was it a chemical process?

that looks great

MY thought was not to mover them. if i can get a heat sink 3" or 4" longer then needed, then put the power/speaker wire sides of each together, I could hook up as normal sending the wires down through the amp rack. this also leaves all the controls easily accessible. I did get a response f...

This is the exact email I got from PG. We know a speaker changes impedance depending on frequency produced, but by using the same load, speaker or resister, and same test frequencies you will get the most accurate reading. Remember, I'm only trying to figure this out because I'm trying to power my s...

I disagree and so does PG. Without a load there is no way you would get an accurate reading. I will most look for power resistors the proper impedance to set gains.

If I can get the name of the company that supplies the heat sinks that would be a start. They should still have the die's used.

just to be clear, there is no mention of a load in the literature.

They said all elite amplifiers were made, no heat sinks yet to cut. I asked for the name of their heat sink manufacturer, no response.

would love to make two into one. a heat sink big enough for two elite .5 boards.

I would normally agree to set gain by ear. in this case I'm using 2 Elite .5's each sub channel will power 2 subs so it's important there at the same level....

Update. I did get a response. kudos PG. That said, it wasn't the response I hoped for.... oh well, never hurts to ask.

PG tech support is not blowing me away. I'm asking pretty basic questions, but they aren't understanding...

Reading the instructions on how to set gain on elite amplifiers i was a little perplexed. they have different voltage levels to set each channel depending on the impedance of the speakers you are using, this makes sense until you read your doing the calibration without speakers connected. If the spe...
