how good is their stuff?

amps?

speakers?

cables, misc?

local dealer is pushing them pretty hard... was curious what the forum's consideRED / observed opinions are...

just bought a pair of their "gold level" RCA 4 way cables, and think they helped cut down my engine noise considerably.

thanks!

I have herd from people that their stuff has some quality and sounds good. But I have never listened to any of their products myself.

Thanks donkason!

Anyone else? I'm interested, cuz I may be buying one of their amps to power my sub in the near future...

Let's hear it people... good, bad, or whatever!

Their cables and amps are pretty good as well as their higher end subs. but I'm not a huge fan of their speakers.

Ditto to the two comments above. PG speakers sound kind of thin, IMO. Phoenix Gold also makes Audio Control equipment, by the way... or at least they own the company!

They have quality amps that sound good.what i like about the brand so much is that they sell neon just especially for the amps which is pretty damn cool

I'm getting a good vibe here... at least as far as buying a PG amp for my Kicker Comp 15 goes.

Of course, now that I'm getting comfortable with the idea of buying a PG amp, I stumble upon the Alpine MRP-M350... which looks real good for the money...

GRRRR! Decisions decisions!

hehehe guess that's half the fun, huh?

thanks for all the replys folks!

Ok, I'll chime in.

On the topic of amps, the Ti line of amps are great. As were the old XS line. They did have a board problem with the Ti 800.1. Octane, while looking good and having the neon option, seem a little weak on power for the PG standards.

Their speakers are weak, personally I prefer the MBs or Bostons. Subs in the Ti line sound OK, but again the just don't tickle my fancy.

Wiring and connections from PG are some of the best out. But in most cases you can find items by other manufactuers that are comparable at lower cost.

The key thing on any install is to go out and experiance the products you are thinking of purchacing before buying. It's not what others say, just what you like that matters in audio.

If there is smoke, PRAY

If it's fire, PAY!!!
