  2. Hello- I'm repairing an old Cadence A6000+ (zed audio amp) that has a few zed audio labeled components on it. The output transistors are toast on one channel, but i'm afraid the fet driver is also hosed- which appears to be a zed audio part. The are labled 'MOSAMP3 Zed Audio 9645' and 'MOSAMP4 Zed Audio 9645' See pics attatched. I came here searching to find Steve Mantz' contact info to ask him, but haven't had luck with searchingj for contact info or for a user-- must be using wrong terms. Any help appreciated.

    Hey everyone. I was running 2 12" JBL subs with a junkey 1200 watt amp, and a 600.1 cobolt orion amp going to 4 6.5" component speakers, all hooked up to a junkey deck. A few weeks ago my truck was broken into and my whole system was taken. Im planning on starting from scratch but would like suggestions for a new head unit, and amps for the FI BTL subs I plan on buying this week. I would like to put an individual amp to each of the 2 BTL's, and I already ordered a replacement Orion amp. I want to make a nice custom SPL system, so any other suggestions would be great. I will be putting this all into my 98 Chevy Blazer (4 door) and i already have a 200 amp altinator. Price …

    Finally singing in, after watching the forums for a while! Not a total audio whiz, so I hope to learn some and maybe even share some during my stay! As far as where I'm at with audio, I'm between subwoofers at the moment, I fried my RE SXX d2 15" a couple of months ago (I knew it would happen eventually) because A: it was on a RF T1500BDCP, and B: I wanted to push it way lower than box-tuning (damn you Decaf!!!). Having a prefab box (3.5 cubes at "36hz"), even if it was a nicer one, didn't really help either... So, you could maybe even say that it was my NEED for MORE BASS ( as in wanting an even more badass driver) that drove me to keep pushing my lil RE friend till …

  19. Hello Everyone, I have some questions concerning a high output alternator and figured there's no better place on the internet to find a good answer to my problem. I own a 2002 Tahoe, and am in the process of trying to set up dual alternators. The alternator I ended up with is manufactured by Mean Green Industries. I know nothing about this alternator. The website tells me very little useful information about it. When I attempt to contact them I get voicemail every time, and the box is full so I cant even leave a message. I would have went with some other company, but every transaction with a certain stereo/rim/custom shop in Baltimore, MD (i know some of you know who…

    I was into high end audio all my life. Home system is a Nikko Alpha power amp, 480 watts if my memory is right. Nikko betta pre-amp. Can't remember the eq.. Ohm c3 speakers, never heard anything better. For play, a teachnics (can't spell that) cassette player with dbx, a teac 8 head reel to reel (had the large reels, can't remember the size) and a turn table I can't remember. In the care, 78 z28, a Kenwood head unit, 2 linear amps, 8" subs mounted in the rear with some ohm component (6” and 2”) and nothing in front L Moved that to several cars over the years then when I turned 40, 2002, I moved to Hawaii and left all this with a friend. Now, I’m 51, back in the mainland, …
