Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1115 Registered: Feb-05 | I recieved it today in the mail. I will probably keep it for another project in the future or sell back for more since they are rare. Let me know if you guys have one. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 2884 Registered: Nov-04 | Congradulations. I wouldn't sell that amp for any reason. People pay $400+ for JL 500/1 amp. You know 225G4 will put out as much power as that, and it's high quality class AB. I'm now trying to test out cb/10 meter/ham radio. I got one with 250w booster. Normally those suckers are 4w and go for 3-4miles. Now you can guess how far it'll go. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1116 Registered: Feb-05 | Isaac give me some good subs i can run with this amplifier at 1ohm that whould work great. |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 2887 Registered: Nov-04 | Just about any 2ohms DVC will work great thanks to the built in bandpass and Intelli Q crossover. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1118 Registered: Feb-05 | Well give me some actual subwoofers worth pushing with this amp is what i meant. |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 2889 Registered: Nov-04 | The JL AUDIO 12W6V2 should work well. |
|
Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1119 Registered: Feb-05 | The 12w6v2 is what i have now and im getting a slot ported box built for it from www.woodlawncabinetry.com and it will be 1.5 tuned to 32hz. I know its dual 4ohm Voice Coils so how can handle the 1 ohm load from the 225g4?? I know it can be wired into 2ohm and i can also run it off my brand new CrossFire VR1000D amp i just got today also with it at 500 x 1 @ 2ohm at 12.5 volts. Which whould you suggest |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 2892 Registered: Nov-04 | Why don't you use both 225G4 amps? It should give you at least 200w rms per voice coil. What's great about G4 is, you can set them for master and slave mode. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1120 Registered: Feb-05 | Isaac i only have 1 225g4 and i got it today in the mail. It looks like mint condition and has been bench tested already from 100% seller. I know this amp can do 200 x 1 @ 2ohm and 400 x 1 @ 1ohm. THe 12w6v2 is dual 4 ohm voicecoils and can only be wired at 2ohm if im correct. |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 2893 Registered: Nov-04 | Oh, I thought you had 2! Well since you don't have 2ohms dvc sub, vr1000D will be better suited for the job. I wouldn't sell the G4 though. Great collector's item. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1129 Registered: Feb-05 | Yeah i will keep it for now.. |

AudioFreq Unregistered guest | nice amp highly overrated in its hey day.. it was only desinged for 'cheaters' (hehe) in competition when the classes were tiered by the 4 ohm power ratings. Now that the classes have changed.. its just a small yet powerful amp. You gold members should know that active loads at low impedance are alive and variable (and are not super predictable). for shame!! hehe Gl with it... it is a vintage peece. http://www.allexperts.com/displayexpert.asp?Expert=63518 |

Silver Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 776 Registered: Mar-04 | silver...gold...whats the difference |
|
Silver Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 777 Registered: Mar-04 | Post #777 only 223 posts to go... (thats kinda weird, i killed my rack buck (an 8 point) w/ a .223 cal rifle when i was 8yrs old. ) |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1141 Registered: Feb-05 | Im not sure when my 225g4 actually came out? The box is in mint condition and it says on the amp made in the USA in white. It says her on the owners manual 2000 so im assuming it is the new generation 225g4 released in the year 2000. If so is there any differance ? |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 2343 Registered: Aug-04 | As long as it's made in the US your fine. I think Directed bought them out in like 03, 04 somewhere in there. I actually have an Orion HCCA 250 G5.1, and it was still made in the US. It was the first edition G5, no difference from the G4's, just newer. Most G5's aren't made in the US though, because of stupid Directed Audio. |
