Pg is a huge joke
They talked about this showed watts and took money from some dealer and 2.5 plus years later still nothing
That's fucked

Surprisingly enough, I have a local PG dealer, with no product to display. I understand as no one new to the hobby where I'm from knows of PG, but he just got an update price sheet a few weeks ago. I did see on it where it stated the Zen9 was listed as for sale at $2750 MSRP and only (100) or more, limited production.
Don't know if that is of any assurance to any one? Just though I'd share.

Seems to be an ongoing trend with Car Audio manufactures. Bowland Audio is worse. Bowland is over a year past due on the pre-orders that he has already got paid for.

I didn't know that. Has PG refunded any money?

To be honest, I don't see any of them making something so revolutionary to take this long or for me to prepay for it. Sure you will get a few sentimental people to pony up but, for me there are just way to many options on the amp market for that type of marketing.

If you want me to pre-order something tell me you are coming up with a 16 channel DSP with auto tune!

well it wasn't pg that took them as much as dealers when they came out with the first shell to show at ces years ago. It almost sounded like they had all 100 preordered. I would hope if someone came back now years later that if they wanted their money they would get it. PG has just been in a constant state of re-design on it and keeps saying its just around the corner. I mean the last update made it sound like it wasn't 90 days away which is why I asked again.

I don't know how reliable this is, but this store is acting like they have stock in store.

https://www.crazystereo.com/phoenix-gold-zen9.html

The page shows that it's "available in-store only", but there is no product description that I see so I don't know whether this confirms the Zen 9 is out in the wild or not. Anyone in Cali that can confirm this?

interesting as it would be the first one out that I have heard of. Now lets just hope all those people that put money down so long ago still get what they were promised.

Was that one ever confirmed or seen? I am curious now with CES time if they will have a functional unit for the first time?

It’s CES 2018 and we still don’t have all of the Ti3 line out yet. I don’t understand why you would promote a product that wasn’t quite ready or in production. The Zen is included as well.

I just got word for sure that there was no zen again this year. I figured this year was the year. Glad I switched gears on that idea long ago.

Elite amps were discontinued. Now the ti3 line is their top, and they are badass amps. If you like the styling of the zen9 then you’ll love the ti3.

I have a feeling this will not be produced. Its been back and forth for so long that they just arent going to go for it.

Gotta have a test unit. Something to base and proof the design and cost estimates off of.

I can assure you that PG didnt waste a ton of money on designing it just to NOT produce it.

i can say though that the ti3 looks similar, if just wait on the 6 channel to come out, and run that with a large mono. much easier to install 2 amps than one large one, but thats me.
