I took the cover off to look for any obvious signs of damage. I didn't see any blown caps or anything. Although i'm studying electrical engineering, I'm not gonna mess with this. I'll probably just send it to PG. 3 days ago the plastic cover to the positive terminal on my battery came off and essent...

Pheonix Gold 200.4 took a crap on me

Welp, I was listening to my system today and all of a sudden I hear this loud ass screeching noise coming from my 200.4. At first I thought it was my headunit. I disconnected all the RCAs and the noise still persisted. I then thought my ground which had been good for the last 6 months was too long. ...

I'm familiar with that method of setting gains, however I did not do that procedure on this setup. I will attempt this soon enough because I'm curious what will happen. One question though, would I want to use a higher frequency for my tweeters also? Would I calculate their combine resistance in par...

I went to best buy tonight, apparently they are not good enough to sell a fuse holder that fits 1/0 gauge (I plan on using the one on my Alternator+ to Battery+ as the fuse for the 200.4 as that one doesn't quite fit 1/0 gauge and getting one that fits 1/0 w/o modification). So I ordered another one...

The ground is to the frame in my trunk, which has been sanded also. Later tonight I will head to best buy and get another ANL fuse for the other power terminal and let you guys know. Thanks again for all the suggestions and help. I don't believe its a power issue, i do have a fairly small amp altern...

I haven't tried switching the RCAs yet. I will when I get home and let you guys know. And other than the headunit there is not other signal processing equipment in use atm.

I'm fairly sure this deals with the amplifier. When I first installed everything i didn't raise the gains much and was listening at max volume on the headunit (35/35) and my fronts suddenly decreased in volume. I figured it was the headunit ground. I switched the headunit ground to a much better one...

No, I am just using one power terminal. I also have a Xenon 600.1 grounded on the same distro block. The 200.4 is powering a Dynaudio 242 GT http://www.dynaudio.com/eng/auto/esotec/242gt.php for the fronts and a set of PG 65rsds (no tweeters) for rear fill. I haven't heard the PGs give out on my yet...

Pheonix Gold Xenon 200.4 Issues

I recently got everything installed in my car. If i'm listening to music at a fairly loud volume, it sounds like my front tweeters and mids suddenly decrease in volume. I have to lower the volume and then raise it again until it happens once more. I'm not clipping the speakers, they never distort, s...

I bought a X200.4, X600.1, and the Onix grill that comes with the X600.1 from Mando. All items were shipped in separate packages and both amps were doubled boxed. I'm very pleased how this transaction turned out and would not hesitate from buying anything from Mando again. Excellent Seller. Thanks! ...
