Sneak Peek

Post by **ttocs** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 5:46 pm

am I the only one that thinks it looks a little too simple? As though there is still something missing? Not sure what, but it just seems a little too plain and boring. It doesn't really wow me.........

Have you also considered that it will be hard to flush mount those with the end caps shapped the way they are? From an installer point I like straight edges so that if I want to hide the wires I can do so with out too much trouble, and those looke like too much trouble.

I like the quote, good to see a little humor in it. Maybe something about size not mattering since they are soo small...

So far all we have really seen is the entry level (simple = more affordable)
& an empty chassis for a very tiny 1kw amp (small size = no room for fancyness)

I think Morgan is holding back on the real cool shit to come, which I dont blame him.

I will spill a little more beans as CES is rapidly approaching.

There are three amp lines:

R Series: "Bread and butter" line. Its kinda a blend of entry to mid line amplifiers with more complete feature set. 1000, 500 and 250 watt monoblocks. 50 x 4 and 75 x 4 four channels.

S Series: S is for small. Two amps 50 x 4 and 1000 x 1 in really small footprint for an affordable price. This is amp you see on top of the R series. Again, complete feature set for easy OEM integration or aftermarket installs.

Ti Series: Four amps. 100 x 4, 125 x 4, 1500 x 1 and 2500 x 1. Big power, excellent SQ, overbuilt, all the goodies you come to expect from higher end PG amp.

The series will just use letters, its back to basics, old school.

Website will be updated after CES...

This is what I am excited for. I would love to have the 1500 x 1 and the 125 x 4. That would be perfect.

hmmmm decisions decisions....

Sounds great, Morgan. I wish you guys the best at CES. Hopefully these amps are going to fly off the shelves.

230mm L x 175mm W x 52mm H - S1000.1
250mm L x 175mm W x 52mm H - S400.4

so this is a china ver. of the ti line very nice have we seen pics yet .. is that the long over built amp pic a couple of pages ago?
how are they going to look vs the r and s lines...

and yes what other things are coming speaker subs ect you touched base on some pics at the beginning and we never heard more on them

base cubes?line drivers?dd5/10 anything like this for the first half of the year or are they just being considered?

These are valid points I completely overlooked, but totally agree with.

The amps are square enough, should be easy enough to flush mount.
& if not then your install will get that much more recognition.

They are nothing like an RSD.

Post by **Eric D** » Fri Dec 18, 2009 7:53 am

Wow! Making a Rsd look good takes a lot of effort.

My old school amp back in high school had Fred Flintstone screened on the board I want to say it was a Fosgate amp but don't remember for sure.

My only hope is for entry level products that rewrite the definition of entry level. Too many companies have forgotten where a LOT of their money comes from. I'd like to see entry/mid level components/subs that make the smaller guys work that much harder to make products better. Necessity is the mother of all invention. If that's true, then make some products that make the other guys start inventing again.

That said, how about an LE amp that just oozes pure sex. I'm talking hand polished heatsink and case, piano black gloss board, plexi to see the guts, all top shelf components, etc. Make it look better than ANYTHING else on the market. Make it a VERY, VERY limited amp.

Name it The 10. Make it so nice that every person who sees one will say "Damn, I want one of those".

Just my 2 cents.

Thumbs up on the line up. Very interested in seeing that S 50x4

Post by **smgreen20** » Sat Dec 19, 2009 10:53 pm

Hay!!!!

I'm in the U.S.
I don't do metric!!!

Are the Ti mono blocks rated 1500 and 2500 @ 1 ohm or 2?

MW3 · Post by **MW3** » Sun Dec 20, 2009 5:30 am

Ti monoblocks are 1 ohm and I do mean 1 ohm. That is where they want to be run...

So does that mean the 50 x 4 is called an S400.4 Where the 1000 x 1 is names 1000.1?

I only ask because I am trying to figure out the naming scheme vs the power output. Like the MS275 (2 x 75) as an example - Whats the significance behind the 400.4? Max power @ 2ohms x 4 channels?

I agree with you, I really wanted the gold pcb, with white heatsinks, just like soundstream did with their new amps...plain and simple
