ZED Audio

http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/Cadence_A7000+/ I picked up a couple of these. Are these true Zed amplifiers?......there is several stories about there being some sort of middle man that produced to many and cadence did not want them or something....just looking for some facts the ones I have do not have the plexi bottom but do have the a7000+ stickers on them.

I'm in the market for a new amp to go in the house, and I got to thinking... Anyone know if Steve ever had his hand in making any home audio amplifiers? I know he does A LOT of contracting and designing for other companies and I figured he must have made some over the years. I'll probably give him a shout during the week and ask him personally, but thought someone on here might know as well. I'd love to have a Zed amp in the house.

i am new to zed audio's products and was wondering how they rated, specifically the deuce and minilith. are the ratings pretty much spot on, or are the underated? if they are underated by how much? i am going to be doing a new install over the course of the next few months and i'm trying to narrow down the equip. to be used. i am hoping to reach 1000-1200 for the sub stage and 100-150 for the comps. am i looking in the right direction or should i move on to something different? rob

I'm looking for some old ESX amps and or ESX line drivers. Let me know if anyone has anything.

does this mean the amp is on? I suppose I could thump on the rca in's to see if it makes noise through the speakers. I used my DMM and checked for voltage on the remote in, and it doesn't show voltage as do power and ground... any clues? love the amp it's under my dash it's so small thanks in advance for any input Tom

I will be installing an Ulysses amp in my car this spring and then maybe replacing it with an ESX 60.4. I convinced my brother to go with ESX amps the old zed ones. Hopefully he will now see how good and powerful they are. I'm going to start him off with a 175.2 and if that is not enough I'm expecting a 275.2 to arrive soon. Mind you I don't really want to give him either of them yet he is my brother.... Does anyone else have any old zed in their cars? Currently I have a hifonics Gemini vii doing my entire system and it's pretty damn good. I'm almost totally satisfied with it. Just no real earthshattering bass yet with 4 8's it's good for now. L.

The US Acoustics 2300f was built by them right? I can still pick up a brand new one and was wondering if Zed built those models aswell. Also how much were them brand new? If I do decide to pick it up i want to know a starting point for negotiations.

Hmm, that didn't last too long. The rules are here for a reason. Stay around and contribute some first. That is some nice gear BTW.

It's an '87 amp. I bought this amp several years ago for ten bucks, along with a buttload of old tapes and some wireless house speakers from my girlfriend's boss. Didn't have a use for it, and sold it to my cousin with a first run RF HE 8" sub. I now have the sub and amp back. Is this amp, in fact, a Zed amp?

I have an Autotek 7100 BTS made by ZED Audio and I was wondering if anyone knew if it is 2 or even 1 ohm stable when bridged.

Any news from Zed? I have not heard anything in a while. Just wondering..

Wow, this is great, a forum for some of the best amps ever made! I have a pair of ESX amps I purchased when they were being sold online a few years ago. I was amazed when I got them. They are beautiful amps. The heat sinks are so damn hefty, I swear I could use them to pound in nails. Well, I have always heard that the ESX amps were under-rated. Is this true? If so, by how much on average? (I have the 75x2) I'm using one of them bridged on an old-school Lanzar American 10" sub in a sealed box. This pro car stereo installer built it for me. It was his personal sub, but he couldn't use it anymore, because Lanzar had started building crap and he wasn'…

Hi Folks. I am from germany and searching for documentary and parts like connection terminals and so on for the one and only RODEK Amp series. Hope u guys can help me out as these amp

Looking at running a 2 Oz Matrix Elite 12"'s and a set of Oz Matrix Elite 6.5 Comps in an SQ setup. Wanting to know if a set of Duece's would be a good choice or 2 Miniliths, going to rum the Draconia up front.

Well guys some bad news. Leviathan and Kronos will NOT be built. Not enought guys who want them and we will not do a production run of a few hundred and keep them in stock. Stephen Mantz

Any new news on the tube amps, or x/overs. Oh man, I am so glad to see some quality equipment again, instead of nothing but bling.

Through out the course of my adventures in mobile audio I have always been a fan of ZED built amps and have owned a rather wide selection of them... Lanzars, Crunch 50c, Usacoustics, etc... I have never been disapointed in terms of performance or build quality. Gladius reivew: I currently am powering a set of CDT CL-62i/24 components. This is a set in CDT's lower price range, but I am very pleased with bang for the buck. Prior to the Gladius these were powered by my old trusty Orion XTR 375. This amp was always reliable and powerful. It finally died and I was in need of something new. I new ZED was building/marketing thier own amps and had been milling the idea of r…

I am curious to know which of these two amps you all would consider to be better made? Here's my dilema.....I currently have a USA2100 in my car, and working fine. My speakers can handle 150 watts rms (Diamond audio's) I just sourced a USX2150 (no lightbar) also made by Zed Audio. IT works....sorta. one channels out, and the output of the other one is weak...definetly heading south. Is the USX2150 that much better of an amp to warrant getting it repaired, or should I just stick with the 2100, and then spend my money on locating a good 2300 for my subs? Or get the 2150 repaired, and then start looking for a 600f or 800f? How much would repair run on a 2150 anyways while we…

Hey guys, new here. I am planning to buy 2 amps next week. 1 2ch and 1 mono 1 ohm load amp. I am leaning towards Zed due to his knowledge and cool attitude. I sjut dont know about any problems?? or QC?? I would appreciate any comments. One guys stated that they sound better then his TRU, which is great news. Merry XMAS Ralph

i know everyone likes pictures so if you have a zed amp, lets see a picture. mine are just uninstalled pics, but i would like to see some installed pics too.

Your site lists the Minilith and it states that it is the smallest suggesting that there are larger mono amps available. What are the larger amps, what are the specs and what are the prices? Thanks Jerry

its been quiet lately on your side of town any news? big prodct intros? or are we waiting for CES?

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.

What is the physical size of the levithan? Are there any prototype pictures? I'm trying to figure out of I can cram it in the back of my integra.

Just wondering when the new amps are scheduled to come out, and when the if you have any progress on the tube amps.
