ZED Audio

What happened, they just forget to renew the domain?

Ok im in the market for a new amp... i was running a Zapco 360.4 but that was recently stolen so ive decided to try something new... i wanted the Draconia but from what i hear its going to be a LONG time before they are available again... my question is will 2 gladius work the same as 1 draconia in an active setup? if so: WTB x2 Gladius w/ BB chipset, but preferably 1 Draconia w/ BB (i know its a long shot but some1 maybe willing to part with one lol) i posted WTB here since i cant in sell/wanted

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.

This may seem like a really dumb question but can these amps be mounted sideways without heat buildup issues? With the Draconia sold out, as well as other brands of amps slowly fading out of my mind, I am leaning on a 2x Minilith, Gladius BB, Duece BB combination that would just about take all the space on the back wall of my regular cab Silverado, forcing me to take the middle jump seat out and put my 10" Fi Q there. Or build some amp rack where they would be semi stacked (not one on top of the other, but close) or maybe some slanted shelf on to one side and sub box on the other. Either way they would be mounted sideways.

Hi Stephen, Are you still manufacturing these series of amps for Nakamichi? Namely, PA 2004, 2002 and 8004? How are these amps as compared to their recent batch of MIC amps?

Hey guys.....how do you think (((2)Mini's Strapped to W7 or (1)Deuce))) would play out...being that the W7 is single 3 ohm sub? Wich way is going to sound better....and be most efficient....I already have the mini's and was thinking about changing those for the deuce.....OR may be some sub recommendations for the 2 MINIs....I wanted to run one moster...sub....thanks

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...

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?

I was all set to buy a couple of Zeds and then had a change of plans...well ....after lots of money and not even using half of the amps I did buy, I am on the verge of getting the Zeds after all.....if I do it will be a Zed Duece and a monolith or Gladius... I currently have a ARC 4150xxk & ARC 1500xxk and quite frankly like them but I am still haunted by not getting the Duece... I must first sell a Son of Frankampenstien which is a limited edition 4 channel PG amp and a rare amp(500 made) . I am getting this one a trade as nobody had cash for my new PG ZPA 0.5 monster 2 channel.. I am wanting to know what you had before you got the ZEd amps and what your impression …

I know that double power will give something like 3db gain in volume...is that about right? could be way off...I read it before long time ago.. I want to have plenty of power not necessarily use it but I beleive in headroom for when I need it ..like horespower..

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.

Who said they are big? The fit right under the seat. One of the amp is bridged currently powering a single ID8, wired in 8 ohm. It's pretty loud but goes into protection rather quickly if bass boost is used. I am going to add another ID8 to run them 4ohm mono to get the best out of it. Here's the rest of my install. http://picasaweb.google.com/awaysooner/MyForesterAudio

Found this link, and I am trying to find out if this is the guy that used to work for Mr Mantz. http://stores.ebay.com/Audio-Clinic

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

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

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

well im stoked cause im bout to purchase a Gladius and Minilith. furthermore, yall did a great job, once again. i know im gonna love em so thx for producing such a great product at such a great price

I ordered 1 burr brown, 1 without....hope I made right choice...cant wait to see them in person.

Found these old made in usa Rodek amps 235i and 280i. Are they Zed made? Thank you in advance.

I have trouble opening some of the files on Zed's website. It's mainly the TECH files where Zed explains Components, Amp Classes, Cables, etc... I can open the first few files up to "Components", then I'm not able to click and view the PDF or word file. Anyone know what I can do?

Are the USX series of amp built by ZED? If so, Any thoughts on them. I've seen some around and thought I might buy one some time for the heck of it.

I've heard on another forum that ZED makes the CDT SQ amplifiers. Is this true? If it is true what kind of performance can I expect from these? Should I consider using these amps for my front stage over Rockford T line or Zapco reference line? and why?

Is it possible to hook up the minilith using only the sub out RCA's. I tried this once real quick, but did not get any signal. Should I try just splitting the left and right out puts on the RCA to get 4 inputs to the amp. HELP!

As was stated in another thread, Zed is running low on his 12V line of amps. Can we expect another run for his current line (Deuce, Minilith, etc..) in the near future. I'm a great fan of what Steve does and would wait a few months or so. Do we know if the company os going another direction, or will the car audio amps still be part of Zed Audio. I'm not trying to start and rumors or stir up anything, I would just like to know if I need to wait patiently or find another amp to run my 12V needs. Long live ZED!!!!!

How underrated are they usually? just curious because I have a zed audio made US acoustics USA series II (IIRC) 4050 that does 50 watts per channel, Im assuming at 12 volts. So has anyone every benched this amp or a similar one to see what it actually does at normal operating conditions? Im thinking that maybe i should just keep it to run active with and sell my other amps (need the cash). Im guessing maybe around 75 per channel... Thanks guys
