I've seen one picture of a Phoenix Gold TI1 Head Unit. When was this made? How many were made? And why did they stop making them?
Would be awesome if I could find one but have been unable to find any information at all except for one picture.
Any information would be helpful.

and i think they only made 1 or 2 of the pg headunits.i also think a board member has on of the PG units too.
but also rockford fosgate has a variance of that same hu and i also beleive gentlejax has a RF unit for sale.

Yip ,
Black with Gold lettering.
Was the best piece of kit I ever bought , I simply love that EQ, I even bought a Dell Laptop cause it i sthe only one with a Native Serial port on it.
which I understand the Deq does not like the adaptors.

What I was asking is when you procured the TiDEQ from Ben, he also had a black Din mount controller for it, which of course did not work but he had it anyway...........I don't know how he got it.

Hi ,
no I did not , maybe I should drop him a mail to find out if he still has it , I only got the remote to switch between the modes.
If he has the Remote unit , I will see if I can procure it ,

yes i am the proud owner of that headunit, the rockford 8250 was based on a lesser unit though, still nice though but not in the same league as the Ti1 imo

So the only difference is the silkscreening on the faceplate?
Is the backlighting ti blue? or is it factory amber/green.
That a freakin sweet radio BTW regardless if its PG or Denon

red/green, there are 2 blue leds behind the 2 little holes in the top left hand corner where the denon badge usually sits, nice touch and keep in with the titanium theme

Blast from the past, have not seen that one for awhile.
That is best sounding head unit I ever heard.
Basically its Denon Z1, not cheap.
