The RCAs are panel mount, never had a failure yet using this style. These are spendy but worth it.

Might i ask why have a on/off and auto button for the fan? if you get some stupid kid that shuts it off can't they damage the amp?I know these are not the average amps but you know some rich kid or in a couple of years will get one.

vs nice tweeter hope the mids and xover look just ask good

Elite amplifiers have 13.5g per MM of heatsink mass, this is a serious amount of thermal mass. The thermal performance WITHOUT the fan surpasses Ti, Xenon and even ZPA. Adding the fan makes it impossible to thermal, so the amplifier can run full power without any thermal fold back circuitry necessary.

Full Power, Full Time.

The fan switch is result of countless phone calls and emails I received over the years asking about making modifications controlling the fans on ZX, Ti and ZPA amps. The fan running full speed is inaudible from about a foot away, but I will still have SQ nuts ask me it they can shut off the fan during competition. So this switch makes that easy to do so.

When set to auto the fan works as follows: Fan is off until heatsink temp reaches 50C. Then from 50C to 60C it variably speeds up. 60C and over the fan is running full speed.

Great idea Morgan! I for one love my Xenon amp(s), but my biggest gripe about them is the fan is audible when the stereo is off. I don't run my stereo at loud volumes very often, so having the ability to control the fan is perfect.

Gettin' excited with these news from inside the PG factory! Most of these parts seems to be part of my next project...
Can you tell us more secrets of the new TiElite Compos, Morgan? Are they projected by PG and made by another top notch factory like the Old Morel/PG Ti Elites were, or they will be definetelly made by PG?
This TiElite Tweeter housing reminds me Hybrid Audio, but the twweter itself reminds me a Seas tweet... just a thought.
Ps.: How will be the owners manuals for the TiElites compos? I really appreciate to have all parameters of the woofers, tweeters and crosses (Like Fs, Vas, Bl, Le, etc.)

We will list the complete T/S Parameters and other tidbits in the manual for sure.

I am working on a white paper now on the engineering, sound and mechanical goals and functions. More news to follow.

If you want a driver with a huge motor comprised of mismatched off the shelf parts that looks really large (but only makes noise at one frequency band or needs a special enclosure) this is not the woofer for you.

However, if you want a properly designed woofer with a fully optimized and balanced motor structure that provides phenomenal transient response, ultra low frequencies and massive SPL levels effortlessly with a wide range of music/enclosures take a further look and listen.

Sub seems nice, would love to see the TS specs though..

I could do without the dimples and leds though, seems sort of Audiobahnish. What do the leds do? Pulse with music?

Badass :evil:

The old product docs/info/lit from PG that you just knew was written by the engineers was really charming and gave PG some character. I'm glad to hear there is a modern incarnation coming our way! Thanks, Morgan.
