my first piece was my octale LE. We all remember that first time we opened the new PG box, heard the "WAAAAAAAAAAH"(holy sound) and saw our item sparking in the shadows of the plastic......

Pair of Ti10's. I sold them on craigslist but was handed counterfeit money. When I deposited it in the bank they gave me nothing. Cops never called back despite that I got their license plate. Frig.

Son of Frank Amp´Stein 96
Got it because my Orion Xtreme 900.2 died 4 times in a row for unknown reason and got tired of it. Paid some extra cash and received the crate a few days later.
Don´t have it anymore but know it is in very good hands now.

I started with Fosgate and PPI, but "tried" a used ZX450v2 in 2003, and never went back to Fosgate.

The single ZX450v2 rated at 75W x 4, sounded better and had more output than my pair of Punch Power 250.2 amps rated at 125W x 2 each! The PG took up half the space as well.

My first PG items were the 1.2 farad cap and a set of the 6 1/2" Sapphire comps.

Still looking for another set of those comps too, just now IS NOT the time.

actually now that I think about it the first true pg stuff I got was a bunch of wiring accesories. When I did my very first system I used the cheapest wire/cables I could find. Later on when I had some cashI upgraded to pg power and rca cables and reran everything. The next morning when I picked up my buddy he asked me if I got a new amp, I was sold.......
