Hi all;
I've never heard of the above! I have 2x Ti 500.4, and an 800.1
I've never seen a 1000.2 before. Whats the point of it exactly?
Best regards

It's a big damn 2 channel amp. I used mine for subs when I had it.
Specs here....

I saw that doc already, cheers though
Just wonder why you'd bother with a 1000.2 rather than a 1200.1 and wire parallel for 2 subs

I ran mine as a sub amp. I didnt really need the 1200.1, as mine was benched at 1200 watts anyway. I mainly got it because the price was right (paid around $550 total from car domain when they stopped carrying them.) Also, that would be a perfect amp for some ti elite components.

The Ti1200.1 is a true AB amp.

yup, they both pull ridiculous amount of current (mine benched at 155 amps)

I'm going to be running my Ti500.4's bridged-stereo in order to get the type of stereo power you can get out of the 1000.2. If I wasn't going to be using some of the crossover features on the 4 channels I'd upgrade to the big stereo amp in a heartbeat. If they were also aluminum that is.

i use my TI1000.2 on the 8 16.5cm woofers (at 1 ohm) and it works really good

pg didnt make a class d until the octane series. the 1200.1 is still a a/b amp
the 1000.2 is really meant to be a monster 2 channel amp, and shouldn't be run lower then 4ohms bridged. wheras the 1200.1 can be run safely down to 1ohm

1 ohm bridged or stereo?
1 ohm bridged = 0.5 ohm stereo, which is way too low for that amp. It's optimized for 2 ohms, stable at 1 ohm, but 0.5 is way too low, and could easily cause damage.

No. Octane came out about around the time as the Titanium line. Or at least they were in production near the same time line as their high end/low(er) end lines. Xenon replaced the Titanium line.

Thats fucking crazy. How could they go from some of the best amps made to the octane series? I thought it was more gradual.

Octane's weren't bad at all. I have rarely if EVER heard of a flaw or complaint or problem from an Octane amp on this forum or the "two predecessors". And to top it off, it's an entry level amp. It's no M or MS line, but that's what the Ti line was for.

the octane series came out just after the limited edition octane amp came out which was the ZXti series amps. They were still solid amps made from the remains of the ti series which were solid.

So those white, blinged out swap meet looking amps are close to the ti line?
