Re: How do you know if you need new caps?
temperature will definitely play a major role in the life of a capacitor. There is a good chance that amp WON'T ever need new caps. I am not going to say this is for certain, but I have yet to find a Ti amp with bad caps in it, which was not abused (typically overheated badly). When the Ti line came...

not sure i follow your question.oldschoolfan wrote:How much distance are we talking here? Wire to exhaust, that is.
the section that is bad is very close to the firewall.
the overall length for me to replace would be a full 17' or 18', whatever comes in the AKIT1.

Re: Want loud?
nobody travels to their nearest state run Aquarium to see minnows. tourists typically wanna see the whale sharks and the big stuff. most of us here on the phorum are more like marine biologists than tourists (if you will allow that analogy) that's why we all wanna see something we understand. someth...

Re: keep blowing fuses - HELP
If you have a meter, measure for continuity to ground on the amp side of the fuse holder "before" replacing the fuse. This way you can diagnose without blowing any more fuses. i have an analog meter but do not know how to use it. go ahead and make fun of me, it's ok :roll: on my way to yo...

i looked at this briefly a while back and it seems there were serious limitations as to what the buyer actually would get - or NOT get.

Re: First owned PG product?
The first piece of PG gear i ever had in my vehicle was a zx450 v2.
i was brought up on fosgate, orion, and hifonics. mainly fosgate.
after the zx450, i started collecting Ti gear.
I'm in to the vintage, US made audio gear. period!
If it were not for this phorum i might not be so dedicated to PG?

Re: clearing Ti's before they rust
very nice, indeed.
with a couple more pics i think it would be appropriate to move this to the how-to section.

Dude,
those look really nice in the pics. Something to consider for a Ti nut like me.
