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.
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: 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...

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?
