THANKS                              Phoenix Gold MS2250!!!!!!!!              A TRUE BEAST WITH A LOT OF POWER. NEVER HAD OR SEEN ONE LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE.This auction is for one of the kind Phoenix Gold MS2250 Power Amplifier with a shroud dipped in real 24k gold and 3 big cooling fans. To be honest!! there is NO other PG amp like this in the World. This amp was custom made by guy who is very well known on e-bay and in my opinion i would say that this person is an encyclopedia of car audio electronics.!  You simply will never see one like this and especially condition it's in. Phoenix Gold design with all military grade components. There were no “cost reduction” measures taken when this amplifier was designed and produced. The amplifier had a relatively easy life for show. It has NEVER been used/abused or for SPL competitions, but is fully capable if that is your interest. The amplifier is in new condition as can be seen in the many photos I have included in this listing. It functions flawlessly on a bench test only and put in a display case unit for show purposces , as would be expected. There are so many positive things to say about this amplifier that I could write a book. I really really hate to see this one go. If I had a use for it I'd keep it.  Whoever wins this auction is a getting a real piece of car audio history. They just don’t make them like this anymore! Specifications:2 x 250W @ 4 ohms (12.5V - <0.05% THD)2 x 340W @ 4 ohms (13.8V)2 x 517W @ 2 ohms (13.8V)1 x 1060W @ 4 ohms bridged (13.8V)Manufactured in 1992-1995 Here is the info from PG on it... The Mobile Series VS MS Series were designed to provide optimal power at high impedance loads such as 4 ohm stereo or 4 ohm bridged. They also have a higher wattage rating for competitions such as IASCA or USAC. The Mobile Professional Series provide their optimal power into low impedance loads such as 1 ohm bridged or .5 stereo. The MPS series have much lower competition wattage ratings. They are often called "Cheater" amps because they allow competitors to compete in lower power brackets, when in reality they are using a lot more real world power. The MS series has no "governor" or "limiter" circuits to restrict it's power supply when you run at lower impedances. This means if your careful and no what your doing, you can get a lot of performance out of your amp. Bridging the MS series to a 2 ohm load is not a problem IF you pay attention to a few basic things: 1. If this were the only amp in the system, it would require at least 1 gauge wire from the battery to the rear of the car. Since it is very likely that you will have some amps for mids and highs, I highly suggest running 1/0 wire from front to rear. Then use 4 gauge wire from a distribution block to a minimum 1 farad capacitor. Finally, 4 gauge from the capacitor to the amp. Add more caps if you can afford them and fit them into your install. A 4 gauge ground wire to the rear frame assembly will provide a good ground. There's no need for a dedicated fuse for any MS or MPS amp. However, for competition you may want one anyway to meet the "easy and quick access" judging rules. If the amp were mounted upside down under a quick opening Plexiglas panel or something, that would take care of it. The reason for all the power wiring overkill is a matter of basic ohm's law. For example a MS2250, will TRY to double its power and make about 2,300 watts. However, the size of the amp's power supply will only allow it to make about 1800 watts. To make that much power, the power supply MUST have adequate amounts of current. How much? At max undistorted output with typical music material, about 80 amps continuous with peaks (< 50 milliseconds) of around 170 amps. Any amount of resistance in the power or ground side of the circuit restricts current flow. If we restrict current flow then the voltage at the amp's B+ and B- terminals will sag when heavy bass notes hit. And when the voltage sags so does output power. When everything is complete, you can check the voltage drop at the amp's power terminals with the engine idling and no electrical loads turned on. Then play the system at maximum and watch the voltage sag with heavy bass notes. Maximum allowable sag is about 1 volt. Ideally, it should be less than 1/2 volt. 2. You'll need cooling fans. Extra power means extra heat. The heatsink isn't large enough to naturally dissipate the heat generated from low impedance operation. This is another reason people like to put the amp upside down under Plexiglas. With an enclosed amp rack and a couple of 3 inch fans on each end (two pushing and two pulling), you can force the air through the heatsink fins. Remember: The higher the voltage input (up to 17.5 V) the greater the power output and the less the amplifier has to “work”. The IASCA vehicles there amplifiers are installed and had an Accu-Volt external voltage regulator that they set to 14.5 V. That combined with multiple capacitors made for a rock solid rail voltage and very predicable power output. The MS series amplifiers were designed for professional installation. PLEASE, if you are not aware of all the installation guidelines for this amplifier seek professional assistance...   The item is used for testing only but in very!! clean condition with no sign of usage as you can see in the pic's. A score of 9.9 our of 10 is fair. Functions perfect!. If you need it quick! there's a buy it now offer. As all ways when selling electronics it's as,is, but not DOA. Thanks for checking out the auction and my other items listed if your a P.G. fan.  SELLING POLICIES 1. Bidders have to read and agree all of the Warranty and terms.
