my RSd 1200.1 arrived today. I don't know why but the name PHOENIX GOLD sounds pretty cool to me. I'm going to run RSd 1200.1 and ZX450 4ch on my 08 honda civic coupe. I can't wait until i get it install. I'm still waiting on Stinger battery to arrive and need to upgrade alt too because I running a ...

thanks guys, I'm excited. This will be my first time own a brand new phoenix gold and a real sound system. I had audio system in my car before but I don't know anything about wire gauge and lot of stuffs until i join this forum and some other car audio forum. I had a boss amp and jensen speakers whe...

a great amp for sure.

Oh dang it, this question sound stupid but would a new alternator fry my electronic stuffs in my car since it put out higher amp/voltage? So I need to upgrade battery and alternator right?

well I've made a final decision to sell my RF R500.1. I'll get a PG RDS 1200.1

well it says they have a 30 day return policy...and it also says brand new! so buy it and if it doesn't hold up to your standards send it back...and get your money back! http://cgi.ebay.com/Phoenix-Gold-RSd-1200-1-Class-D-MonoBlock-RSd1200-1-Amp-/290449955641?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Car_Amplifiers&...

only 1 pix, that's kinda scary

I was going to install my RF R500.1 but after searching on ebay I found a Phoenix Gold RSd1200.1 Class D Mono Car Amplifier/Amp for $244. I think this is a good deal for a big amp but I need to get some info from you guys first before purchase it. I remember PG amp used to be very expensive when I w...

lpl is nothing more then remote volume adjustment for your sub. I am about to make one for myself and have the parts to make a 2nd of you want one. The rddp output has a couple of options. There is a r-link that plugs into it and then give a couple of options or if you just get a car5 cable and the...

since the R500.1 came with bass control I guess I dont need the LPL control for it. I'll use the zx450 for mid only.

where can I get these 2 controllers for my zx450 and what is it for, sorry I'm dumb. Oooh and this is what I have..... pix.

I guess I've found a forum that I've been looking for, believe it for not I've learned some good things about wire, battery and amps. I will post my pix when I get my car done. I truly regretted for buying a RF R500.1. Now I have a mix match. I should've get a ZX500 because the guy at the car audio ...

The rockford kit is probably pure copper, most rockford kits are pure copper so feel secure with that. Optima batteries use a 30 year old technology in their "spiral cell" system. They do have the quick discharge rate that AGM car audio batteries need to provide power on demand. You can c...

Upgrade the factory battery to an AGM so you can at least make the most of the 70amps the factory alt puts out. Stinger makes an exact size honda replacement battery (spv35). I would try that, make sure you are using pure copper wire, not cheap CCA that is true spec and you should be ok. If you hav...

it will go on a 2006 honda civic ex. I don't know what size the alternator is.

I will have 2 amps install into my car soon. 1 PG zx450 4. chan and RF R500.1 amps. Will this two amps required good alternator and cap? I really don't want to get my battery kill and then it will lead to my alternator. Any input will be appreciated. 4 6.5 speakers 100 watts rated XZ 450 RF R500.1 2...

thanks all for the welcome :mrgreen: , I'm glad to hear that I have a good amp. I will have everything install in about 3 weeks and I will post pix of it. I know it is a 10 + years old amp but it has a lot of good review when I google it. I love to have one of the Phoenix Gold RSD600.1 but kinda tig...

awesome, thanks. I read the spec and I saw the pg zx450 put out 75 watts per channel so I thought it would be underpower to run my 6.5 speakers. Each of these speaker is 100 watts rated. I bought a RF 500.1 amp from a friend, I'm going to use it to push 2 12" RF P2.

I bought a used Phoenix Gold ZX450 4.ch amp. I want to use this to run 4 of my 6.5 speakers that rated 100 watts. Can this amp make it happen? Is this a good amp?
