Phoenix Gold Phorum

Any opinions or insight on sapphire amps? There's a 3.0X for sale I'm interested in. It could be ok for sub duty but my sub is 3 ohm so what do you think?

I think a white sapphire looks a bit like a mini MS amp. The insides are nice too because the board is gold plated. I assume these aren't triple darlington?

i had one running two 15 xl cerwin vegas back in my day prob not recomended as got hot but had window open with air straight on it went very well for a small amp then again all old school phoenix gold does

saphires were pg's entry level amp in the ms era. They were nice little amps but didn't put put a whole lotta power was my only concern. Sounded smooth but more often then not they seemed to lack some power.

Let's put it this way: which would be a better sub amp, Sapphire 3.0X or M50. I don't need crossovers in amps. By the numbers Sapphire puts out more power, but something tells me M50 would control a sub better @3ohm bridged.

You know, I don't need more amps, but if I ever see old school PG amps on sale cheap I start developing reasons to buy 'em..

yeah that seems to be a problem for some of us. have got a m50 in my car at the moment and find it much better for sub than the sa.03 i had a while back.

m50

mmmmmmmmmm

I would take the M50 as well.
