I spoke with Sir Stephen Mantz and the new domain name for the ZED Audio website is: www.zedaudiocorp.com or www.zedamps.com or www.zedaudioamps.com. All three are the same site as before. I believe there is a new one in the works though.

I found a amp I've never heard of.. Its a J.A.B special edition and the guy says its a ZED built amp. The quality looks very nice but can someone sheed some light on this for me? I have pics but don't know how to post them.

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

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)

Did some initial testing with the Crown amp. Unfortunatley I changed the port at the same time I switched to Minotaurs so I have no idea what direct swap gain would have been. Though I dropped tuning 4hz, sacrificed 42 square inches of port and am still up about .4dB. Geometry of the cargo area didn't allow my 5th battery on the Crown and voltage drop was severe. Minotaurs seem to run quite happily on this battery bank and have an audible improvement in sound.... I expect 8 amps vs. 1 has an edge in damping factor. One thing I really like is the ability to non-invert slave all the amps frorm one pre-amp so I can run 1 amp per coil without the trouble of tryin…

Found this, thought it was a good review, you have to google translate the page http://www.music-team.ru/news/news-zed/item/91-a3-leviathan-lider.html

I have a 7300. And was wondering if anyone has any information on what's needed to get it to run a 1 ohm load.

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.

On Ebay and not the SSA store? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZED-AUDIO-MIKRO-IV-440W-RMS-4-CHANNEL-ADVANCED-CLASS-D-MINI-SMALL-AMPLIFIER-NEW-/400596438529?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item5d45688e01&vxp=mtr

I bought a leviathan on the 30th of last month, so it's been 14 days. what kind of wait time is there for them to ship the amp? Not in a big hurry, just curious.

I am looking to buy up some old school Zed HiFonics amps. I am only interested in the series VIII and VII. Let me know if you have any your willing to part with. Thanks, Eric [email protected]

I have to say I was disappointed in the new tinted Zed cover. I purchased the amp largely as a show piece and most of the advertizing prictures of the V3 had a clear cover. Honestly, if I knew it had a tinted cover I probably would have found another used v2. This is an SPL build so SQ isn't that important to me. I enjoyed my v2, because the LEDs shown through the 6x9 speaker slots in the rear deck. I pulled the stock speakers a few installs ago, and there was nothing to stop the light. I loved it... I would really like to purchase a v2 cover if they are avaliable, pm me if anyone has one. I know people have grumbled that the LEDs were very bright, but now you can't se…

Problems with: ZED Audio Minotaur II - this amp is creating some kind of feedback noise to my entire system... at first, it was terrible. this crazy squealing noise that just didn't stop, regardless if the car was actually running of just had power to the stereo. so i brought it back to the installer, and they put a ground noise isolator (or something like that) in-line for the amp's RCAs. this reduced the noise greatly, but then when i would turn on the car, the sub would just start pounding for about a minute before it would stop. this was regardless if there was any signal coming from the radio or not. then today i brought it back to the installer, and they gr…

Disregard. Sorry.

Is it true only the first run was actually built by Zed and then after that they sent the design to Korea to be built? Also, it's only a true Zed if it has the silkscreen Zed logo on the board correct? Thanks.

has anyone ran them on one ohm? what did it do?

Just bought my first, brand new, amplifier today (all my amplifiers were always second-hand). The ZED Audio Leviathan III. I have one question I need to find out about it. There is a little orange light inside that lights up when I raise the volume up on my deck (Pioneer 80PRS). The letters "VDRV" is written next to the light. I tried looking around online to understand what it is, but can't find any information on it. Is it by chance to signal when the upper rail is turned on in the amplifier to produce more power? Or does it have to do with the strength of the signal coming out the deck entering the amplifier? ---> First impressions of the amplifi…

im not completly done yet but im satisfied with how it came out...I just may order a piece of tinted plexy to finish it with....what yall think? http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o800/thetech808/IMG_0654_zps37f25f2c.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o800/thetech808/IMG_0645_zps3c592db4.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o800/thetech808/IMG_0647_zps5feff304.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o800/thetech808/IMG_0652_zpscf76e9f7.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o800/thetech808/IMG_0649_zps85d75d87.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o800/thetech808/IMG_0650_zpsf835bdc9.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o800/thetech808/IMG_0…

Running a Kronos to my mids & tweets and a Minatour2 to my subs (replaced 2 zapco comp 300's) have to say I absolutely love the Zeds. Lately every now and then when I start my car I'll hear a pop and the Kronos will go into protect mode while the Minatour is running just fine, I then have to turn the car off,Wait 5 sec and turn it back on and everything is fine, Was wondering if simply installing a Stinger SGN21 to delay the remote turn on would be a viable fix or is this a sigh of something possibly needing to be replacement in the amp, First time in a long time I've had to deal with any kind of turn on pop, Kinda currious if this somthing common with older Kronos a…

Took some videos tonight after work. Just having fun and enjoying the system. Hope you all can enjoy it as much as I do.

Just found this guy's channel on youtube. Just thought it would be interesting to look at. As there isn't many ZED builds here on the forum.

Really the price per watt of these held me back for a while (that and the Crown 6K that I picked up last year), but I've gotta say, since these came out I've spent more in repairs and blowing up crappy chinese and Korean amps than these ended up costing me. I have still to do more testing, but initial impressions are "run don't walk!" and get you some of these. If you're wanting 1000W range they're worth the extra cost for the crossover and EQ options, and if you want more power, they're worth the reliability. I haven't had a far East built amp >1200W last me more than 6 or 7 months yet.

Here is a nice in depth review of the new Leviathan-III. http://www.stereowiseplus.com/2012/05/zed-audio-leviathan-iii-6-channel.html
