Re: Phoenix Gold R3 sub reviews

If you take the rubber boot off the magnet of the Ti 10" it will come in around 5 3/4". I had a Ti 10" firing up under the seat of a Silverado Crew Cab.

I really don't think the R3 would be an upgrade for you. The SX subs are better than the R3's, but they are deeper than the Ti's.

Re: Is this elite subwoofer trash?

pg doesn't make recone kits This. The RX1100.1 isn't an expensive amp to begin with, and that one is beat to piss. The sub is $399 new, and it is damaged. I wouldn't want to be into that collection of gear for more than about $250, assuming the sub functions as it should, and assuming I would run g...

Re: can anyone help with the rane 12v conversion?

Wouldn´t it be easier to just buy a converter from 12V DC to 110V AC and implement the parts into the supply circuit of the crossover? Along the same lines, but I would just get an AC to DC inverter, run it externally, and just incorporate it into the install like a distro block or whatever. Someth...

Re: Should I upgrade my alternator or add a battery?

If they can't do a big 3 for you then I wouldn't let them install anything else either. It's pretty basic stuff. It should cost $50-75, certainly no more than $100.

Re: Phoenix Gold Elite.5 5 Channel

That's bizarre as hell to me. Damn near every time I have installed an amp or two without doing anything to the electrical my alternator blew at some point. It was just a matter of when. Putting the added current draw of an amp into an electrical system is far more taxing than a big 3 or second batt...

Re: The New ti21600.5

SQ wise, I doubt you'd hear a difference, so unless you need more space, and your Xenons are still working, I wouldn't mess with it. It's a good solid amp that is awesome for a class d. You could play it beside some mid level A/B amps (which is what the Xenons are imo), and it will perform comparabl...

I'm going to guess that it has something to do with the LED's. When mine are pounding, with the lights off, the lights will occasionally light up a little like they are getting some power from an outside source. If they are getting some sort of power transfer from the coils, then the lights are defi...

Re: Pg warrenty

Truth be told, I was leery about buying the Elites because I was afraid of the durability. I also suspected that they had no means to repair their subs. I was looking hard at Fi BL and Fi Q subs. My Phoenix Gold dealer also pushes Memphis, so I was looking at Memphis Mojo X subs. At the end of the d...

They are kind of holding you hostage on that if you can't even pay for repair/parts service. This is absolute bullshit.

Re: Tri-Mode ti500.4

Even if you could do it, which you may or may not be able, it would sound horrible. Your best option is to get another amp for sub duty. Even bridged, 4 channel amps really aren't suited for sub duty. They can do it, but there are more effective options available, like just about any 2 channel.

Re: Ti2 15" Sub coil is black in color?

I will say that brand new Ti2 subs have some sort of glue, epoxy, or something that literally burns off after a couple weeks. Not sure if it's on the coil or not though. It does smell like burning coil when it is burning off though. Probably unrelated though......
