Please check out the new products from ZED this year! We finally have some excellent photos of their products to show the world. As always, these are all available for purchase in our always growing online store... http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store Draconia - II Leviathan - II

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

I talked to Stephen today for a good hour. He was bouncing ideas off me and me back at him. We discussed the new heatsink as well. If he decides to use the idea he told me about, you can call the pharmacist and cancel all your prescriptions for Viaga, Cialis and the like. I promise these amps are going to be so damn sexy you wont need the scripts anymore, heck you might even be able to kick the wife or girlfriend out cause she wont be needed anymore! Seriously though, after what we talked about, these new amps are going to be some of the sexiest amps on planet earth. I wished I could spill the beans but I was asked not to. We appear to be still out about 90 days…

ANYONE REMEMBER THIS MONSTER. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ? EARTHQUAKE PA-4300 IT WAS BASICALLY 2 COLOSSUS'S IN ONE AMP IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.

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…

I have this amp and it says 600 watts @ 4 ohms.I know it has more power than this I just dont know how much. If anyone knows the specs on this amp it would be helpful. What ohms is it stable to? What should I fuse this amp at since it has no fuse on it? Does it have an unregulated power supply? Class ? It is an oldschool amp but I would like to run it, just need some info. It was made by ZED audio . I have searched the internet but found limited info. Any help would be appreciated.

http://www.zedaudiocorp.com/News/news.html Stephen mentioned in an email to me that his new MEGALITH will do 1KW at 4 ohms and 1800W at 2 ohms. My guess is that it won't safely do 1 ohm. I use dual 2 ohm coils generally on my subs so I'm in for a 4 piece of these. Any other rumors on this?

I am about to buy an amp for my pioneer premier ts-c720prs speakers and am looking at the USX 2080 amp that puts out 80 watts rms x 2 @ 4 ohms... It is only $49.50 plus shipping, but they are repaired amps... Does anyone have experience with this amp and if so how good are they? Here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/US-Acoustics-USX-2080-...ksid=p1638.m118

Question, this being a "subwoofer" amplifier, why does it not have a subsonic filter? Is it only meant to supply power in a sealed enclosure application??? Are the crossover points setup in a way so that I may remove the frequencies I don't want>? Example: It has crossover points @ 25hz , 31hz, 40hz, 50hz, and 63hz.. If I set the crossover points on 25hz to -12db will that "remove" that frequency's reproduction? If I leave it at 0 will it do the same? I really like this amplifier and feel that 1000w is more than enough to get an Xcon moving... My other choice would be a RF t1500-bdCP when funds allow.... Hopefully review at work goes well and I get a raise... Then I…

I usually hang around phoenix phorum. I have an account here and since i just ordered some stuff I thought I would pose a question to someone who may actually be able to answer it correctly :-) I'm getting rid of a few things and posted up my USA 2150. Almost immediately the thread went south with someone wanting to know how this amp could possibly have these ratings with only a 35 amp fuse. Of course my reply, which may shock some of you was " If you run anything other than 4 ohm stereo pop in a 50 amp fuse just like hifonics" . Is this the right answer? OR ...Can the USA 2150 do rated power with a 35 amp fuse? Now for amp porn....

Just wondering if anyone owns an Original Crunch amps. Models were CR600, CR450, CR150, CR425, CR100, CR50 CR50SHC and CR250. I still have my CR150 and CR50 that I bought in 1992. Sure wish I still had the CR600. Anyone else out there? Troy in Florida

Does anyone know if this amp was made with the Chrome Heatsink? I know they made it with the Charcoal grey and black and red letters. The reason I ask is I just ran into a USA 4050 with the Chrome heatsink and I was hoping to find a 2300 to match it.

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…

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.

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…

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.

Steve asked me to post a little more information on his upcoming Tube amplifier, so here goes: Information on the new Zed Hybrid 4 channel amplifier. This new amplifier combines the attributes of tubes and semiconductors in a unique design. The amplifier is divided into 3 sections, the power supply, the power amplifiers and the pre-amplifiers. Power Supply: The power supply is the driving force behind all amplifiers and is absolutely part of the signal loop and therefore plays as an important part in the sonic signature as any other part of the amplifier. There are a total of 8 separately regulated power supplies within the main power supply block. They read as follows: T…

I just read on another forum that ZED AUDIO is not going to continue to make car audio amplifiers. Any truth to this? If it is then maybe you better get what you can. I also know they make amps for CDT. Maybe they are going to continue to make them for other companies. Anyway if they quit all together I will be disappointed.

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…

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.

I am a little unclear as to what exact Lanzar amps were built by Zed Audio. I understand they were the OptiDrive ones but there are several different Optis. Anyone have any info and/or pics? Thanks!
