To be honest you will need a dedicated 15 amp circuit to run that kind of gear in your home. You would be much, much better off by running a couple of crown of crest power amps designed for 120vac

I ran a 20 amp breaker!

Thats good that you have a dedicated circuit for the power supply but I imagine you will need 80 - 100 amps of power supply. The cost of power supplies will run you just as much as it would cost to buy pro audio amplifiers.

Nope, wouldn't be a PG amp rack, I'm running a Kinetik 80amp power supply/charger along with a Kinetik HC1800 Battery. I could have dumped as much money into a matching Rotel 7 ch amp instead...

I spend more time in front of my computer then I do in my car, so why not bring the second best part of the car inside? Half the enjoyment of car audio is the fact that you have to build something to display the amps not just stack them.

AAMP217 I think you are missing the whole point of this site! I could have left my Kenwood 5.1 receiver up and running cuz it was good too, instead of building a kick ass Phoenix Gold setup and saved a whole lot of money.
Hey just maybe someone at the new PG might hook me up with some deals and I will replace my wall setup with some brand new junk! (wink wink)

PS. The green monster will always crush the little bee... LMAO!!

I think this will work nicely for a power supply for using your car audio gear in the house and not too pricy for what it is.

80 amps with a battery should be fine for listening levels. There's no road noise to overcome in the house, so you don't need to run these amps to their max. Even if he does the battery will be there to take the beating in that case. I'd say his power setup is more than adequate, and this looks like a ton of fun

what are the chances of getting a power source hum in the signal?

yeddy · Post by **yeddy** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 5:40 am

hey ttocs good question, the answer is none! sounds great. No interferance from anything. I'm not crankin it up like I would in the car either. I put 20amp fuses in just to see what kind power it's pullin. I haven't blown one yet... thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions, this project has been in the works for several months now and finaly is on the wall cuz I have all the parts. I'm not looking for any more comments on what I COULD use because it's allready up and running!

^you have achieved your goal. i admire your ability to stay on track and utilize some TiTi's on your wall

I didn't miss the point I was just offering an more efficent alternative to car audio amplifiers in the home. Rock the PG bro, its just a matter of money to be honest.

The setup does look badass tho

Trust me I make hella more $$ on selling PG than on pro audio stuff

I have the 900.7 in my hands!!!! not only that, but I bought it off the guy that does warranty work for Phoenix Gold in Canada!! I just may be able to get hold of some "treats" in the near future!!

TEASE ...

did some changes... I still am in search of a Ti1000.2 and a few TiEQ215x's if anyone would like to sell, LMK...

think its a big mistake- swapping what you have for a 900.7- I have never seen one that didn't have lots of crossover board issues- its your dream so do as you wish- but you will definitely have less problems with what you currently are set up for- the 900.7 idea is very cool- just a lot of shit on one chassis, with an amplifier that is tough enough to work on their own, now you got the kitchen sink in there as well, and 7 channels as well-

yeddy · Post by **yeddy** » Tue Jun 22, 2010 4:51 pm

ya davewaibel you are kinda right, I did like the other way better power wise. but my 400.2 makes a real by high pitch sound I can't seem to get rid of. The 900.7 came from a PG warranty guy so it's been all serviced. so it's all good there. I'm not running any xovers in the amp my preamp takes care of all that. but either way all the pots were replaced too. But the final goal is to get the 3rd of the huge Ti amps...

NEW NEW NEW!!!!! Just got these in today!!! The saga continues!

The Elite12 is real bad ass! Looks better then a JL W7. I wonder how she'd go with 2 ZPA0.5's - one to each coil?

Curious how your powering the amps and how you wired them.

High pitched whines can come from a couple of places but are normally fixable.

wow I didn't realize it was so long ago I first built this. It's time to update the rack soon, I got a whole load of more Ti to add!

Looks awesome. Now I really want to get out and build mine.
