ZED Audio

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.

is the opti series by lanzar made by zed?looking at the 6k opti and just wanted some reassurance.thanks

We would like to thank all of our customers for their support in the past and hope that Zed shall be able to serve you and others in the future. Due to the changing economic climate we at Zed have had a serious re-think about mobile amplification…

I spoke with Steve about what kind of amps he will be making in the future. I am frankly amazed that the #1 complaint from customers about the Old Zeds was price. I mean come on ! I have 2 Gladius, a Deuce, and a Minilith running a 4 way Dynaudio setup fed from the alpine F1 head and processor. It sounds absolutely incredible. My $1200 worth of amps clearly blow away amps from other manufacturers whose product costs 2-5 times a much. I will not mention names but I compared other amps with his with the same head and speakers and the Zeds outperformed or hung with all the high dollar brands. I sent one of his Gladius amps into Car Audio Magazine to be reviewed and the teste…

Hello, ist the Planet Audio amplifier P500 (5 Channel) making by ZED Audio or a later bad amplifier. Have anyone a list with all planet audio amps. Thanks!

Hi guys! I just won usx1000f from ebay, my 2nd one! I got it for 102 usd minty like new condition. I can't wait for it, I really like the quality of os zed amps.

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

The ESX Q 604 was in pristine condition inside and out to say the least. There were no marks on the fins. It was never worked on or repaired based on my assessment of the circuit board and interiors. The screws weren't stripped. I would compare the condition of the amp to a car that was traded in with 5000 miles on it. The amp literally seems to be barely used if at all. I would give it a 9/10 easily. Thank you, I look forward to enjoying the amp for years to come. I am even more impressed with my Optidrive 1000.1D. For a amp rated at 1000 watts it outperformed every bass amp that I had which includes an Atomic AT 1600.1D, Sundown SAZ 1500D, RF T1500-1D, MTX TA …

I am very excited to have purchased a mint condition ESX Q 60.4 off of EBAY from Audio Clinic. The amp is in mint condition and is a classic and will be replacing my Atomic Trinity. How good is this amp? When was it built? Damn I am so happy to finally have a ZED amp.

Like the title says, I bought the last ever brand new Zed Deuce. I'm happy, and sad at the same time. Happy I got the last one ever. Sad that there will be no more. Until the new series that is! I asked Mr. Mantz to sign the bottom of the amp, and ordered it with the burr brown upgrade (seemed only fitting that the last one be the best it could be). This will go with my current Zed Deuce, and the two Gladius' I have. Also, along with the stack of ESX's, and stack of USA series US acoustics, and the one cadence Zed amp i've found. Hopefully I'll have some pics of my Zed powered Suby Outback soon. I'm going to be running an ESX Q475.1 to my subs, an ESX Q175.2 to my mi…

Two things, we have been doing a lot of old school amplifier upgrading lately and it seems that so many guys do not want the overseas junk but would rather upgrade their older amps. $49 no fault found, $89 to repair and phone estimate on those badly blown amplifiers. We do the whole deal, BB upgrade where possible and if requested, capacitor upgrades, Mosfet and output transistor upgrades and even change the power transformer for better regulation and bottom end "slam". We currently do about 4-6 repairs a day but would like to increase this as so many guys send their amplifiers to shops who mess them up even further. Finally Zed will introduce new amplifiers BUT not…

I bought one...its a little rough but is supposed to do 200x2 @ @ohms...400x1 ....pretty small....anyone use them? I am also looking at a NAK PA502 50x2 .....are these ZED NAK's better than or same as all the rest of the ZED made stuff? I know damn near for a fact that the Planet Audio amp by Zed was better than the US Acoustics I once had...... anyhow... I got some Zeds again...

I have never owned any of the white mean machines..there is a small one I am looking at now..or else I will buy a USA series gray amp off one of the forums......basically I want the most Zed power I can get for the money....

i currently have a us acoustics USA4050 (50x4 @ 4 ohms) running my mids and tweets active, and it just isnt enough power for them. my mids are 8 ohm coils. unless i find a good deal on a big power, small footprint amp, i'll be picking up either a USA4080 (80x4 @ 4, 240x2 4 ohm bridged) or a USA2150 (2x150 @ 4 ohm) to run the mids, and bridge the 4050 to my tweets. how would those 2 options compare efficiency wise? the 4080 bridged would run the 8 ohm mids with a lot more headroom than the 2150 right? how does running 2 amps for my mids/tweets compare in efficiency to running one big amplifier with dual power supplies, along the lines of a DD S4 or a zuki eleets? any zed …

Hi! Everyone! I'm a new member here in Cali., I'm so glad I've found this site! A lot of guys here are very knowledgeable.Not only brand specific but any brand in particular. Yesterday, I drop by Zed Audio, to have my Us acoustics 4065 fix, & spent some time with Mr. Mantz.Happy to say He's doing really well. Right now he's concentrating on home pro audio set-ups. anyways, I bought a Deuce amp to feed my Solo's.All I can say is this amp is wow! "SIMPLY AWESOME!", I'll be adding it to my Zed amps collection, namely, lanzar optidrive 1000.1d,Lanzar opyidrive 100.4, Lanzar opti sl50, US Acoustics usf 1000f and 4065, All in mint like brand new condition.Thank you!

I know there were still a few duces left to sell of the old product but I am looking for a pair of 4 channel amps or a 6 channel and a mono block. Any chance the new product will be out before Christmas? Are there production models yet?

I'm planning a basic active setup for the time being and currently have a USX-2150 (old style, no blue LED) to run my mids with. Looking for something similar to run tweeters (Seas 27TFFNC) and since i love matching i was thinking of something from the same series anything from 75-150 rms/channel. I'm looking into a set of AA mids. Any advice regarding this, should i aim for a little less power on the tweeter or go about the same? i've done it both ways but i'm not familiar with these tweeters so i figured i would look for some input. they are rated at 90w continuous i believe, but i know that means very little. Also it's highly dependent on what happens to be available a…

Well, there hasn't been very many threads on the Zed, so I just wanted to put one out. Seriously though, has anyone heard of any updates on any new lines. I know Steve was planning on something in the near future, and wanted to know if anyone has heard anything.

Giving the Orion's a much needed rest and gaining a ton of space back in my car. p706 for mids and highs USA 2075 for sub.

Just to let everyone know I sent in two amps to Zed to be repaired. It took over 2 months to get them back. They moved to a new location during that time. I did finally get them back this last week. They work like new now. I guess it was worth the wait. I still love the sound quality of their amplifiers. Just with the length of time with no contact with them I thought everyone else should know about it.

Well I finished my brothers car stereo. I installed 2 ESX amps a 175.2 for his front end and a 275.2 for his subs. All I can say is WOW!!!! We have the setup right now running at flat yet we will be tuning it soon. These amps are just wonderful. I have had some ESX amps in my cars before yet never an install like this. Simple yet very effective.! We have 6.5's in the doors with tweeters as well as 4 incher's in the dash. There are 2 JBL's P1220II at 2 ohms in a sealed box in the rear. The car is a 1997 (i think) VW Golf hatchback. The sound that these amps produce is just crystal clear with enough power to make me and my brother happy. I wonder how it will sound when…

Did Zed audio move locations???

I have a old school Planet audio 2250d zed board anyone want to buy it It's to big for what im doing now

the title says it all. the funny thing is its used and priced more than it cost new. Z

Are there any updates on Steve's new line of amplifiers? It's March!
