I noticed in my owners manual the amps show a warranty of 5 years “when installed by an authorized dealer” if installed yourself, it’s 1 year… wth😮

[@ripewave]

It makes sense that AudioControl, which is positioned for the integrator market would create incentives to support that channel. However, we know that we are not so reckless in our handling to shorten the life expectancy by four years. Thanks for sharing I did not know. -Jon

I enjoy my pantages g4 amplifier. Very power. Running bridged to my front towers and the last channel goes to my center.
My only complaint is its noise floor. With my sensitive speakers l can hear the amp when it's on 10+ feet away. It's faint sounding but it's noticeable. My Outlaw Audio amplifiers are dead silent.

[@Kam87GT]

Do you still have that ?

[@matthewaugsburger536]

Yes, l still have it. I have now hooked it up with xlr cables and the amplifier is now very quiet. You have to be inches from the speaker to hear anything now. The amplifier has been rock solid and no matter how hard l push it, it only gets warm to the touch

[@matthewaugsburger536]

@michaelreilly4920 it's much more powerful and it makes a noticeable improvement in control and clarity(especially when bridged). If you can get it at a good price, it's a decent upgrade

[@michaelreilly4920]

@@matthewaugsburger536Thanks Matt. I just picked it up from my dealer yesterday. Right off the bat I heard more detail and control from my LCR. I have it as a loaner to audition he gave me a great deal so probably a keeper.
The gain adjustment is also great to have. Did you open them up or left in default position?
