Re: Black MQ430?

Back then if you wanted it pink with purple stripes they would do it. I have often wondered how much they charged for custom options now as I wish they would do it again now that I can afford to have it done. Pg charged me exactly 100 bucks to have an eq230 done in the franked theme to match my fas...

Re: because I'm never happy Audison bit one and ten daisy ch

There's actually a bunch of bi-ampable passive out there. I just got a set MB Quart MUSIcomps, I think many others exist too. Lots of higher end components are capable. Utopias are of course the cream of the crop. Focal has new line thats supposedly better, but I can only imagine the cost. Id reall...

Re: because I'm never happy Audison bit one and ten daisy ch

It will work if you can tell the Bit one that the output going to the input on the bit 10 is a straight through or fullpas signal... Ive done it with 2 AX406s before, I ran the rear channel on the first one with no chip, or as a full range passthrough signal to the input of the second 406 and used i...

My first PG AMP I got was in 92 or 93 , I was dating a girl after high school and her mom( which is my mother in law now ) bought me the MS250 I had been looking at but couldn't afford. I was so grateful for that. After that I bought the M series and also played around with some Orion's , but PG wa...

Re: The m100 that started an addiction

great story! Mine was sorta the same, EXCEPT my dad made bank in the 90s, and dropped about 12k on his Porsche in 1992 for the Alpine DigiMax system which was an early 90s version of F1. His car sounded un-damn-real, and well he wanted me to have some tunes too. The place that did it was in Fremont,...

Re: 2 devices with 1 lpl?

Bryan, I think this will work, BUT LPLs are so cheap, why not use 2, one for the sub and one for the mid bass? that way you cana dial it in how you want it? i assume you dont want to just use the gain on the amp to dial it in, since you said you wanted to adjust it up front? do you not have an eq i...

Re: 2 devices with 1 lpl?

Correct me if am wrong but the LPL44 is only a boost at a certain fhz (40hz?) not for the mid range fhz. Now if your trying to control the low fhz on the mids then yes the LPL will work but its really a BOOST instead of an attenuator. Also if you have a 4ch amplifier and you have a set of ch set on...

Re: new install, confused why amp flickers

Eric, I thought so at first, but the problem is the voltage. Today when I started the car the voltage was almost a volt higher (13.9 today vs 13.0 last night), and it got to 32 before shutting off on the volume setting vs last night it was struggling to hit 28... The lights on the headunit and the a...

Re: zero point zx600ti

ZX600ti and Ti600.2 are essentially the exact same amplifier. I think PG was a bit confused how they wanted to approach the naming. They were the early Ti amps which came just after the popular ZX. Later it seemed they just dropped the ZX for the simpler Titanium naming strategy. he's talking about...

What are the differences between the zero point zx600ti and others that are not zero point?? Purely speculation, but my best friend who used to be an installer told me that the ZP boards were left over from the ZPAs... and that it had similar architecture to the ZPAs...
