ZED Audio

I found a copy ay Fred Meyers today. Here you go, enjoy.

I'm getting ready to run this on a set of midbasses, it used to push the hell out of some Orion XTR's. I love it, just wanting some info. Any you may have... Thanks.

Stephen, What do you remember about the Cadence amps you designed in the 90's? Did these amps have anything particular about them (design, technology) that you were trying at the time? Also, did you build the amps or just design them and have Cadence build them? As always, thank you for your time and knowledge.

i found a website that sold CDT amps for pretty much almost Zed prices... http://www.lightav.com/car/cdt/cdtamplifiers.html im debating on whether or not to get the SQA-1600 since there are no miniliths left... but im not sure since the amp would be a different color then my Zed Glads

Check this baby out http://i249.photobuc...xo/HPIM6337.jpg

I just recieved my copy of the june issue and by god they reviewed the Gladius. Reviewer stated it is in the top 5 amps for sound quality he has ever tested. Congrats Stephen! Heck and this is the first time I have ever visited this forum too, but it looks like it is time to install my Gladius and two Miniliths and start my second SQ vehicle! Actually Anyone wanna trade a mint Minilith hand signed by Stephen for a Duece plus cash?

hi everyone i recently picked up a crunch ca250...it looks like it is zed made but im not really sure,,anybody know the specs on it??its also still got the hi level wires with it!!!havent seen one on ebay for years!!i got a pic but cant post it on here for some reason...i must be doing something wrong!

Can anobody confirm is this board layout authentic? I looks some part nex to power suply is missing but maybe i am wrong? I realy like this amp, and if this is ok i will buy it for my sub.

Just wondering what the difference was between the two? The manual shows the specs as the same, just says something about mixed mono/xover settings as the only real difference.

Do any of the newer ZED amps match the quality of the old Rodek amps?

Does Zed still make Nakimichi amps? I saw they just came out with some new amps, and wondering if Zed made them.

Hey guys, I didn't even know this forum was here until someone posted a link elsewhere. Yo Stevo, you should inform your loyal customers of these things. I've had the Zed Audio Draconia for months now and am really happy I bought it. I'll have to take it back over to Zed so Stephen can hear it again with the new Oz Audio speakers. I replaced one of those $1,000 amps that don't tru-ly stand up to their name. The Draconia is very clean with no noise, rarely gets warm, is detailed, and has great control. I've had the bug to go active, just haven't decided between adding a Minilith for the sub, or a BB'd Gladius for the tweeters.

I got a hold of a never used Draconia. It has the black case. Will it sound any different than my ESX?

Hello! I've bought my Draconia (2 pcs) in Jan 2013 at Ebay,WoofersEtc store. It was sold as NEW. Few days ago, there was a problem, so I had to disassemble one of my amps (short circuit in two mosfets at 2nd channel btw...my fault, never mind). Here is the picture of back side of PCB. There is soldering traces, flux, some kind of resistors etc. And it all look not like factory view. Is it normal for Zed amps? If it is not normal, I want to warn you, apparently, Woofers Etc store sells repaired (maybe even badly) amplifiers under the guise of new. P. S. Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my native language)

Would love to have one, cant wait a year like Mr. Mantz said

Well, since there is a forum here now, I guess I'll be the first to post an actual question What's the efficieny like on the Miniliths? At both 2ohm and 1ohm?

I have a friend that is interested in selling this amp, and he has asked me what I think its worth. I have no idea, so i thought that someone in this forum will have some opinions. Thanks for the help

I know this is not the right place and I just registered finally (So these are not officially listed as for sale with the 25 post forsale requirement) but thought I would just give the heads up that a Q175.2 and Q120.4 are going on Ebay soon. Both were sent in to Zed about a year ago for updates and bench tested. And are 8/10 cosmetically. My Draconia and Deuce are serving me well until the next release (; Since this is the Zed forum I just wanted to mention it here and am not soliciting in any way... I am only mentioning this here as I know this is where the diehard Mantz people are....(; azmcrae.

I've seen pics like this of other brands being collected... anyone have some Zed pic's to share?

help please i just got an esx 75.2,,,the good ones made by zed,,,i have a dual 2 ohm woofer that can obviouslt make a 1 ohm load or 4 ohm load,,,ive downloaded the instructions from the esx website but this little amp is so complex along with the instructions ,,, ireally dont know where to start..all i wanna do is run the amp bridged to push my woofer help please

Does anyone know when the Draconia is expected to be back in stock? I've heard as early as October and as late as next year. Thanks.

Well, I'm a fan, so I thought we could kick this off with a little discussion as to what experiences our memebers have with the products. I myself have been a huge fan since the GOOD Hifonics. Wish I never sold them, or the ESX, or the Rodek I had. I am very picky on my equipment and of the many choices out there, I have always come back to two prominent companies, Zed and Zapco. Zap is a little out of my pricerange and frankly, I don't see a benefit over ZED. What I really like is when I shoot you guys an email, I get to talk to the man himself. That is an honor right there and holds high regards in my book. So MR. Mantz, welcome and thanks for staying true to the…

I'm interested in the Zed Audio Gladius amp but I can't tell where the fuse is from the pictures. Does it come with a fuse? Thanks.

Anyone have any idea what size of fusing for the new Draconia?

I need to know if the gladius is strong enough for your needs or not... I am planning on running one to a pair of PG Elite components . I dont want to be short on power but I also cant afford to spend $400 an amp..... I am trying to decide between the Gladius and maybe another PG amp...Xenon maybe unless I can get a good older PG... I would really like to buy one of these new Zed amps..or 2...
