Phoenix Gold Phorum

I just aquired *for free so I think i got a great deal!* a Phoenix Gold OUTLAW limited edition 1697 amp,


And I cannot find any specs or anything on it it is about.. 3+ feet long? and has to be old school, no visible fuses and heavy as hell the silver colord plate on it is faded, all i can read is "phoenix gold outlaw"




any help would be appreciated.

Nice score. BUt I caution you to not POWER IT UP, it needs to have the capicitors on the inside replaced first due to it's age.
Contact Valeks1 on this phorum to do the necessary work. if it's in good condition it's worth around 400-600USD depending on condition.

post some pics up

here are the images. It apparently was stored for a while needs a slight cleaning




mmmm I don;t know if I want to spend a load of money to replace the caps especially if I cannot make my money back.

wanna sell it or trade it then? As he said hooking it up with bad caps can lead to a big failure in that the caps can actually explode and take part of teh board with it.

if you dont change them it could catch fire at any time. i know this first hand a had a zpa catch fire in the trunk because of bad caps and it was not even running. i came out from walmart to find smoke in the car amp destroyed and carpet burned.

here's some proof of what happens when caps go poof.

also, one of the more saught after pieces of that amp, is the special wooden crate that it came inside of. Ask your buddy if he knows where it is as that makes a HUGE difference in price if you want to sell it. If you do hit me up and we can work something out.

I am 1000% sure he does not have the crate, he is an old man, I don;t even know what he had this for, he must've had it from when it first came out when he was young...

I am always so confused as to how someone could loose the crate with as original as it was. He might just suprise you and know where it is, its worth asking.

being that you say that he is an old man maybe he used the crate as a storage crate for books and what not's, that's what some old people do.

Old men used to be younger back in the day, or so they tell me....

it was just such a unique piece that I just can't imagine someone throwing it away or simply forgetting where it went. I know EXACTLY where my roadsters case is, it ain't goin nowhere.
