Phoenix Gold Phorum

I just bought a Tantrum from a local near my house and I didnt know if this is normal or a common issue but my PG amp takes like 2 minutes to warm up before it starts sending my subwoofer a signal. After it has warmed up the amp is like gold but I was wondering if there was something I could do to stop the amp from doing that.

Thanks

WELCOME!!!!!!

It almost sounds to me as though PG may have repaired that amp at some point....... I've had 3 of those and none of them did that......

Do you mean repaired the amp with the upgraded chip?

That does not sound normal to me at all.

I will try it next week when im done the homeshow crap

figured you,d be running that by now? must be as busy as me, though if this snow would let up I could get a lot more done should have seen me trying to keep the snow out of the Octane while installing it in the driveway snow whipping all around LOL

we have no snow here but the last 10 days have been stupid. I only have myself and one full time staff we work 6 days a week
this week we have a home show that run from thurday 12-9 till sunday.
He left a message on the work phone as his girl friend is having there kis (3weeks early) no with no staff and having to be in 2 places at one time
I'm burning out. the manager of the other store came down and helped the last 2 days but I have asked a install to fill the both for 4 hour till i can get down there. I really really want to try that amp in the car shit my 10 sounds great with my jl slash 500/1 (wifes amp took it for the week)
i have worked monday7am-6,tuesday 7-8 wed 7-8 thursaday 7=-9:30 friday the same and day is the same bs
The next day i might get off is thursday as thats when is to be back but I book time with my other store in Edmonton and might drive up there and back in the day 5:30am till 8pm
so everyday when i get home the post office is closed for the people I owe gear

now thats busy, guess I,ll stick with the snow, at least I can still drink beer

shit its been 4 days without drinking and sleep

okay... well I read the manual and it recommends a 80amp fuse...

I currently have a 150 amp fuse within 12 ft
all 0 gauge wiring and I have two grounds hooked up to it that are 0gauge and less than 2 ft long

the amp sends a signal to the amp when I turn the music up half way(which is kind of loud in the morning) but I noticed that the amp have a quick start on warm days...

warranty seal is solid

thanks guys

almost sounds like a bad solder joint? once it warms up it works would make sense any of the gurus care to chime in

use mine every other day and there is zero delay
mine will be for sale soon if you need it
