Well I had a Phoenix Gold R15.0 running one Alpine Type R at 4 ohms and after say approx. 4 hours it went boom...lol... I the power source seemed to have shorted out and fried it. Thankfully its covered under warrenty but, im now concerned about the reliablilty. But i guess ill see how it runs when it comes back. Figured I give everyone a heads up whos shopping for an amp...

Damn.. i got a phoneix gold octane R mono.. hope i dont run into that problem

No offense to PG consumers.. But you could have purchased a Ultimate, or Planet Audio amp for next to half the equivelent cost, and gotten a 2 year over the counter exchange warrenty with it. Having to send it in for repair is a pain in the ass. BUT PG still makes some decent equipement, so really you can't be completely in the wrong with them.



My Cav
I give up...
i'm buying a VW those people love trees, so they should love eachother too... "Andy"

yeah i agree





just riding around in the 4 door cav

no no haha phoenix golds are good amps, are you sure that amp runs a 4 ohm stable load ?? thats what might have killed it

4 ohms not stable on a car audio amp?? .. ok...seriously, ive never seen that lol 4 ohms seems to be the most common impedance of a speaker/voice coil ive seen...

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good.
