INTRODUCTION
The One is a truly unique amplier that follows in the legendary footsteps of Limited Edition ampliers from Phoenix
Gold. While the external function of this monoblock amplier is fairly simple its very important to respect the immense
amount of power it can produce. Be sure the proper subwoofers are selected as this amplier will easily damage low to
mid powered subwoofers. Phoenix Gold is not responsible for speaker failures or damage.
Phoenix Gold has taken special care to make sure each amplier is of the highest quality possible. After the electrical
components are pre-tested and inserted into the circuit boards then each amplier is carefully hand assembled one
by one. Once assembled the ampliers are rigorously tested. The rst testing stage is performed by a state of art Audio
Precision computerized program. Specically designed by the Phoenix Gold engineering team, this testing program
is powerful and complex. It immediately and accurately measures distortion levels, power output, crossover functions
and numerous other specications.
Once the amplier has passed the Audio Precision testing, its then ‘burned in’for a minimum of two hours to verify all
part temperatures are within specication and all systems are working properly. After the unit passes burn in, it is then
retested with the Audio Precision again to verify it still meets the original testing criteria. Once it passes this test for a
second time it then undergoes a nal visible inspection and human listening test. Rest assured this amplier has been
fully tested before its laid to rest in its custom made wood crate.
As mentioned throughout this manual, the proper electrical system is REQUIRED not optional. The amplier can be
damaged and will not reach its full potential without the proper electrical system. Stinger accessories and power wiring
are heavily recommended due to their high quality. For example, Stinger power wire is 100% OFC copper and adheres
to a Tru-Spec wire gauge standard. Many low quality power wires may look like 1/0 gauge from the outer jacket, but the
internal copper is actually closer to 4 gauge to save costs. Also do not use CCAW or Copper Clad Aluminum Wire as it
does not conduct current as well as copper.
Congratulations on purchasing the most powerful and one of the rarest ampliers ever built by Phoenix Gold. Be sure
to keep all of the documentation, certicate of authenticity and shipping crate as this amplier is truly a collector’s
dream.

Specifications
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!
The One is an extremely high performance amplier. In order for it to reach its full potential,
the correct installation and wiring requirements MUST be followed. Please note the following:
• Do not touch the speaker wires or terminals while the amplier is on. This amplier has the
ability to cause serious injury due to electrocution.
• A high output alternator, at least three high capacity batteries and three separate runs of 1/0
power/ground wire are required for the electrical system.
• 1/0 Gauge wiring (or greater) is required for all power and ground connections.
• 8 Gauge wiring (or greater) is required for all speaker connections.
• All three of the power terminals must be wired to the electrical system. Using only one or
two of the terminals can damage the amplier.

INPUT
Connect preamp signal cables from the head unit to these terminals.
OUTPUT
Provides a full range signal for an additional amplier. There is no signal
loss if using this output.
LP FREQ
Controls the lowpass crossover point for the speaker outputs.
BASS BOOST
Variable bass boost from 0 to +6dB @ 45 Hz.
LOW PASS LEVEL CONTROL (LPL)
This port is for connecting the optional remote level control (LPL44).
This allows up to 20dB of volume adjustment. This is not a bass boost, it
controls the level of the low pass signal.
LEVEL
Used to reach maximum amplier power with a wide variety of headunits.
SPEAKER OUTPUTS
Used to connect the amplier to speakers. Minimum impedance is 1 ohm. 8 gauge
wire is required.
SUBSONIC
Controls the subsonic (highpass) crossover point for the speaker outputs to eliminate
extreme low frequencies.
PROTECT LED
Lights red if there is a problem with the audio system. For example, speaker wire is
pinched/shorted together or the amplier is running too low of an impedance.
INPUT SLAVE/OUTPUT MASTER SWITCH
For normal use, the switch MUST be set to “OUTPUT MASTER”. If linking or strapping
two ampliers together please see page 7 for more details. IMPORTANT: In normal or
single amplier use there will be no output if this switch is set to“INPUT SLAVE”. Be
sure it is set to“OUTPUT MASTER”.
+12V
This must be connected to the fused positive terminal (+12V) of the car’s battery. See
page 4 for an electrical system example. 1/0 gauge wire is required.
REMOTE
This must be connected to switched +12V, usually a trigger wire coming from the head
unit or ignition.
GND
This must be connected to the negative terminal of the car’s battery or bolted to a
clean, unpainted part of the chassis of the vehicle. 1/0 gauge wire is required.
COntrols
REMOTE MONITORING DISPLAY (RMD)
Connect optional RMD Voltage Display to this port.
IMPORTANT: ALL THREE POWER TERMINALS MUST
BE USED. DO NOT USE ONLY ONE OR TWO OF THE
TERMINALS, IT CAN DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.

How to strap two monoblocks
Strapping or linking two ampliers allows you to deliver a ton of power into a single voice coil commonly used in SPL
competitions. The example below shows two of “The Ones” delivering a total of 24,000 watts RMS into a single 2 ohm
voice coil.
• DO NOT STRAP AMPLIFIERS INTO A 1 OHM LOAD. Minimum load strapped is 2 ohm.
• The “Master” amplier’s preamp section controls both ampliers. “Slave”amplier’s pre-amp controls are disabled.
• The negative or (-) speaker output terminals are connected together using 8 gauge wire.
• CAUTION: This is an insane amount of power into a single voice coil. PG is not responsible for speaker failures or
damage.
