What can I say Pat, your dedication to all-out customer support isn't
easily replaced :-)

The buy direct thing can somewhat be addressed by working with our
Warranty Dept. who is able to sell parts like that in a limited way. We
know it's not always possible to find a good local a/d/s/ dealer in
every part of the country.

Well glad to hear that you have all of the ACXXX parts in stock John. It
still doesn't make sense though why when a consumer calls up asking for a
56005 or 56025 they are told that they can not buy direct but are then
directed to a dealer and when they visit that dealer they don't want to
order it for the customer. Seems as though service does not want to bother
placing the order and pleasing the customer but hey I am not there any
longer and don't know what is going on in the inside.. If an old time
a/d/s/ user emails me with ?'s I respond to them but it just bothers me when
I see that they are sending emails to Tech Support and they are just
ignored. Maybe I am just a little over protective or maybe it has something
to do for the love of the product whether I was an employee or not...

Actually, last time I looked we had a lifetime supply of ALL of the
ACxxx cables/adapters in stock. I'd like to point out that in our
defense, the condition "in stock" in terms of a/d/s/ parts and products
has reached a consistency level never seen in recent years under
previous management :-)

Thanks for the assist Pat, and we do miss you for sheer hands-on
experience with these products although there are a number of folks in
Tech that have been working hard to cover these types of older support
questions, including cataloging and posting to the tech web site evrey
out of production owner's guide they can get their hands on.

Thanks Pat,
I was afraid of just such a situation... I can't even get my hands on an


AC202


(DIN to RCA adapter), much less an AC206 and two AC201's...


Unfortunately, I


passed on tony's (tbird1950) offer on a couple of AC201's and now they're


long


gone.
I'm afraid I'll have to go another route, using the three way standard


set-up,


overpowering my tweeters, and under powering my mids...
I tried calling the woman you put me in contact with last time we spoke,


but got


no resopnse. Perhaps she's gone now too...
I'll try the standard config, and let you know how it turns out.
Thanks again Pat, a/d/s/ is surely missing your expertise and


helpfulness.

Yes it can be done but you will need to get your hands on an AC206 which


is


a router for the din pins. You will need one of those and then 2


AC201's I


believe are the part #'s. They are the 1' male din to din connectors.


This


will allow you to run the din pins to the respective locations. If you


use


the diagram in the manual and just plug the modules in the wrong


locations


it will only cause problems. It is not that simple. This will then


allow


you to run channel 1 input to bridge channels 1/2, then channel 3 input


to


bridge channels 3/4 and then channels 5/6 in a stereo operation.

As for not getting service, parts, responses to emails or anything else


from


a/d/s/ you need to keep in mind that the individuals that were there 6
months ago are no longer there. Directed is now doing everything out of
their own facility in Vista and the individuals that worked out of the
Phoenix and Boston facility well are no longer around. I guess they
thought it would be better but it seems like their are some good things
about it and definitely bad but when it comes to old school stuff you


are


pretty much well tossed on the side.

If you have any questions just let me know.

Hi,
I'd think that this should be pretty simple, but the manual for the
642ix doesn't list it as an option... This set-up is going in a Toyota
king cab, with stealth being a priority (I'd REALLY like to keep it


down


to the one amp)...

I want to run ch's 1&2, and 3&4 of the PH15 bridged to a set of Morel
components (I really do need all of those 100 watts for each side), and
then I want to use ch's 5&6 to run a pair of old school JBL 8" free air
subs (very efficient) from ~200hz down. The closest configuration
listed is exactly the opposite... 100WRMS x2 for the subs, and 50WRMSx2
for the components.
Am I gonna have to build my own modules here? I haven't had any luck
with getting service, parts, answers or even basic email responses from
a/d/s/... As much as I love Directed, a/d/s/ just isn't even colse to
the same company after the buy-out - sorry, different rant...
TIA,
Keith
