zx500 schematic needed

Post by Hoser »

I've been using a zx500 on my boat to run 2 pairs of Polk Audio 6.75" speakers. The sound quality is amazing and they are super loud. I also have an M50 powering a pair of 12" soundstream SPL's. Problem is that I didn't have the zx500 mounted good enough and it came loose. I didn't notice until it was too late. The speakers stoped working and when I checked the amp it was hanging by the wires. I took it to a good friend of mine who is a professional tech and when He took it appart he found that there was a small nut floating around in the housing. He figures it shorted out something but he can't go any further without a schematic of the amp. Is it possible to aquire one?

In the mean time, I have a M100 sitting on the shelf and I'm thinking of using it to replace the Zx500 until it's fixed. I wonder how it would compare to the zx500?

I read in a different message that PG doesn't release their schematics. That sucks. It's probably not even worth sending it in to them (PG). Or is it?

Or you could switch the M50 to your highs/mids and use the M100 for your sub.

I thought about that but I'm not sure the M50 would be enough for the 4 speakers outdoors. I know it would be great quality but I need it very loud as well. I have to be able to hear the tunes over the motor while wakeboarding 80' behind the boat. The ZX500 rocked loud and clear and I don't want to step down at all if possible.

Kick ass service

Just got the amp back today. It wasn't even 2 weeks ago that I sent it to PG. Now that's service. I was expecting a C.O.D. to cover the return shipping but PG picked up the tab. I can't imagine any company having better support then PG does.
