PG Tantrum, 1200.1 amp

Post by leooooon »

I just bought a Tantrum from a local near my house and I didnt know if this is normal or a common issue but my PG amp takes like 2 minutes to warm up before it starts sending my subwoofer a signal. After it has warmed up the amp is like gold but I was wondering if there was something I could do to stop the amp from doing that.

Thanks

WELCOME!!!!!!

It almost sounds to me as though PG may have repaired that amp at some point....... I've had 3 of those and none of them did that......

Do you mean repaired the amp with the upgraded chip?

okay... well I read the manual and it recommends a 80amp fuse...

I currently have a 150 amp fuse within 12 ft
all 0 gauge wiring and I have two grounds hooked up to it that are 0gauge and less than 2 ft long

the amp sends a signal to the amp when I turn the music up half way(which is kind of loud in the morning) but I noticed that the amp have a quick start on warm days...

warranty seal is solid

thanks guys
