Bought some carver amazing speakers
xavionics replied to Carverrocks's topic in The Welcome Shop (Please read first)
Welcome aboard @Carverrocks! I don’t know what amp might be preferred, but I have a pair of ALSIII’s I have run with a stock m1.0t, TFM-25, Pioneer Spec 2 and Spec 4, and my Bob Carver RAM 285. Currently, they are in my basement system being driven by a PT-2400. Each of these amps have driven them well. But the PT-2400 has SO MUCH power that it really makes them sing! Enjoy those speakers, they really are something special. -

Bi-Amp two M-1.0t Amplifiers

Thats a good enough reason to me! I'm glad you got it sorted out and working. Thanks for sharing your journey. -
Bi-Amp two M-1.0t Amplifiers
xavionics replied to aholloway17's topic in The Welcome Shop (Please read first)
It seems to me, the m1.0t (both) should be non-inverting (has the stereo/mono switch). In the non inverting model, the two negative (-) speaker leads are electrically tied together. The reason for this, in my mind, is that the negative (-) posts on the speakers are likely tied together. Personally, I see little advantage in doing it this way. Again, in my opinion, if you are going to use multiple amps, go with an active crossover and bypass the internal passive crossover completely. ***This, of course, creates a whole new world of trying different active crossovers…*** Ask me how I know. 🤔 P.S. All of my experience in this has been with two way speakers. -
Welcome to the site @wicked1340! Damn, laundry AND grocery lists - nothing like a good hearty intro! 👍👍 Nice to have another car stereo aficionado on board. I have a pretty fair collection of a/d/s stuff, currently packed away for an upcoming move. My first Carver car amp awaits repair.

Power transformer of Carver PRO XI 2600
xavionics replied to rolandofurioso's topic in The Welcome Shop (Please read first)
Good morning Roland, and welcome to the Carver site! I'm sorry to read about your circumstance. Odd that someone would take the transformer and not the whole amp! Anyways, I searched our database and a few online resources and could only come up with an Owners manual for your amp. This amp was made while Phoenix Gold owned the company. According to the back page of the owners manual, they refer to a phone number and a website - carver pro.com - which appears to be a dead site. Phoenix Gold appears to be in business. It looks like they are only into car audio but it may be worth reaching out to them. Maybe they still have literature on the Carver Pro stuff: https://archive.phoenixgold.com/pages/contact-us Good luck with your endeavor! -

Seems to be the case with the pro amps. Poor things take a beating! -
You get to demo the speakers of your dreams with ONE track…
xavionics replied to Daddyjt's topic in Favorite songs to X by
Currently, my 'go to' track is Stalin Malone off the Elvis Costello Album Spike. From the snap of the snare to the textures of the brass to the pprrraatt of the tuba.... After the performance, they may remain (or may no longer be) my dream speakers. -
Welcome aboard tankdcrank! This site is about Carver stuff, but all gear is appreciated. Pull up a chair, pour a cold beverage of your choice, and consider what your goals might be in a Carver system. You’ve found the mother-load of info here, glad you found us! You’ll be able to post pics after a small bit of activity. Please feel free to describe what you have and/or what you seek.

Hi from Europe and Interest in Car Audio
xavionics replied to Tuesfurioza's topic in The Welcome Shop (Please read first)
Patience and scouring eBay will eventually yield the Carver Autosound system dreams are made of. It took over two years to create the a/d/s system I used to have in my Odyssey…
