Thanks for the replies will look into to see if there is a supplier here in uk

Hi has anyone had to replace the illumination tubes on the reactor amp and with what thanks Allan

Hi
not been here for a while but just picked up a zx200 v1. Is it possible to get a manual for this version, the link to manuals only shows the V2 which doesn't include the vx200
Thanks

Hi I have been offered the above amps, they have no external graphics but have black crossover pots and soldered fan connections which from what I have read should be V2 model. Are there any other ways to confirm this thanks

Just compared the 250 with a 450, 250 is soldered 450 bolted plus main board totally different layout. May be possible but would require major mods, better to buy good crimper. But thanks trickyricky for the replies

[quote=thanks trickyricky "trickyricky"]Contact altser, he has the terminal blocks that your looking for. I think he sells them for 20.00 each, ask him though. Like I mention you might have to dremel the side panel to fit the bigger block. Its possible.[/quote]

It's not damaged but the amp requires servicing and trying to fit the 4 awg that the car is wired with without correct crimpers is a problem, and I wanted all amps wiring to match if possible

Can the power/remote connector for the zx250 be changed to the type fitted on the other zx range thanks Allan

I have had the caps changed (just in time) but was wondering is there any other components that could be upgraded to improve the amps. They will be running 3 way active. Amps are 500/450/2x 250 all V2, sub already sorted ,thanks Allan

Either way is possible... http://download.phoenixphorum.com/TechSupport/blc.pdf

Thanks stipud

Now I am confused because another person is telling me a tbat2 is the only unit that will work with eq232. If you have original TBA cable its very easy to modify it for use with the EQ232. If you need help let me know. hope you dont mind but i would like to know to modify a tba to eq232 , can it be...

Thanks "ttocs" but it seems to be the whole cable,could the end be cleaned or should I scrap the cable thanks

had mine in the kick panels with mid in lower door firing upslightly

i was just about to use some PG 8 guage power cable but noticed that when it was stripped back the outer layer of copper has reacted to the covering is this normal it has been dry stored thanks

Set the db gain to about 4, and turn the volume at the loudness you think will be all the way up, turn the gain up slowly till the sub starts to go pop pop pop, and back it down a jiggle. :clap: done and done, no need for silly o scope nonsense, that's for ballers... :lol: sorry but i think o-scope...

thanks for the reply this is the first time to tune an amp i have been fitting them over the last 10 years mostly to my own cars i know what a clipped signal looks like but cant say i would know it if i heard it unless it is like some disco systems that are turned up to loud

ttocs wrote:by the sounds of it then you are not all that familiar with what a "clipped signal" is? Not a big deal if that is the case but I/we just need to know at what level we should start to help you reach your goal.

please explain "what level to start to help"

Oscilloscope is by far the best method. If you have access to one, it's as simple as playing a test tone and increasing the gains until you see the wave start to square off. Alternatively, using a multimeter is much safer than doing it by ear, but you won't get every drop of headroom the amp has to...

don't sweat overpowering your sub if you plan on setting it up with an o-scope. As long as you set it up to keep it out of clipping feel free to feed that thing as much power as you want too.... Do you know what it sounds like when a sub clips? Do you know what it looks like on a scope? We need to ...

ttocs wrote:are you wanting instructions on how to do it by ear, or with an o-scope?

ttocs i was going to use an o-scope but know the amp is 600watts but the sub is rated 250-300 max i wanted to set gains to limit the output to around 300 ,unless the sub needs more in a sealed box

i am running a jl 10w6 dual 6ohm in a factory sized sealed box with a zx500, how do i set the amp output to best drive the speaker but not blow it thanks

is it possible to get the mountings/insulation feet for the zx amps colour not a problem or is there a good alternative

thanks again stipud

thanks stipud
do 1&3 have any function

i am going to use the rddp output on my zx amps and have found the PG wiring chart, but what do the two unused terminals do. i saw that knightrider358 was looking into it but cannot find more information, thanks
