Phoenix Gold Xenon Birth Sheet question

[bchandler 10+ year member]

My new Xenon amp (x600.1) came with two birth sheets. One is a 8.5 x 11 printout with the amp's serial number, a graph, and some typed efficiency, current draw, etc numbers which states power is 842.35 watts. The other is a half sheet sized printout with handwritten model number, checks in the "passed" boxes, and a handwritten tested power of 617 watts. Both state power at 14.4 volts and 4 ohms. Which one is the accurate one? I would assume the one with all the specific numbers catered to my specific amp, but I wanted to make sure.

the 2nd one with 617

Aww darn lol. What is the point of the first one then? It seems much more detailed.

maybe thats just for show. Or what the average amplifier puts out. U just happened to get one that put out alot less.

I would think it would be the other way around if anything. The printed sheet has the amp's serial number, date and time it was tested, a technician's signature, test voltage, current draw, efficiency, S/N ratio, and output all down to the one hundredths decimal place, and a plotted graph... All the other sheet has is checks in "passed" boxes, a technicians sig, and a handwritten output number, nothing else. I think I'm going to e-mail PG direct and see what they say.

if you dont belive or accept the answer to your question why the **** are u asking? you end up saying your going to email them. so why didnt you do that in the first place instead of wasting our time asking a question in which you wouldnt accept the answer to?

First of all, "reed dollaz," you douchebag e-thug, I posed a question in a polite and mature manner, and received an answer with no clarification as to why it was the correct answer. No offense to phyphoestilic, who may be a PG tech for all I know, but I was just trying to seek an affirmative answer a little more detailed than "the 2nd one with 617." Stay out of the thread so the adults can talk.

Anyone else have any useful info on the PG birthsheets? I did just e-mail PG and will post the reply here as soon as it comes in case anyone else is interested, even if I don't end up replying to this thread again...

id guess the 617 as well. the x600.1 in my girlfriends car came with a 620something birthsheet.

How does it sound? i have a few agonizing weeks before I can start my install!

I'd be fine with 617, its not like I will ever see that playing music anyway. And it's only powering an IDmax. It's just odd that they would include a detailed bench test sheet only for it to be a fake...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/ponder.gif.ec2527b23f1d287b60dcbba54f95edba.gif

842.35 is Chinese Watts, 617 is American Watts. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

its the one with 800.

 

[Qbenjamin 10+ year member]

I have installed about three of the Xenon 400.1's and they all came with a birthsheet that said around 618w......

 

[Qbenjamin 10+ year member]

its the one with 800.

I highly doubt it.

 

[sqhertz 5,000+ posts]

iirc. wernt the x600.1's with the higher birthsheet, the first production series which had some problem (drawing a blank) and the ones with the lesser power , were made after they fixed whatever problem?

i may be lying to myself but i could of swown ive seen that somewhere...

 

[jacka 10+ year member]

I highly doubt it.
