50 seems like a tall order... Dagnabit. The Hammer

News from Zed... http://forum.elitecaraudio.com/showthread....18&pagenumber=1 The Hammer

Thanks, I've taken in for a few small highway trips and a bit around town. Handles nice and seems to have enough power. I still love the styling. I see the picture is down now (the car lot has updated their website). I'll try to add an attachment here: Anyone know how easy it is to get larger than the stock 5.25" speakers in the doors (stock locations)? The Hammer

I dunno if I can wait for the Leviathan, and or Kronos. That was the plan however. Might have to try the TRU amps out, The Hammer

I own one of these decks installed in my work van. -display, Looks ok, a bit cheezy and difficult to see during the day light from some angles. -Apperance, I like the general looks of the Black unit, I think it comes in silver aswell) -Mp3 playback, I found this to be quite good and pretty swift at switching and navigating. -7 band EQ is nothing special (I didn't think) -X-over is lame (not configurable) -Aux inputs work well (with my Omnifi) -3 sets of preouts are nice at this price point -Layout is not very user fiendly. -Volume knob when pushed switches to adjust Bass level, and it pushes way too easily, for instance when your reaching to adjust the volume while driving. -Remote definatley is the better way to use it, and HOPE you don't loose it. -Sound Q seems quite good, but haven't done any A/B comparisons with the same speakers or enviorment (Aura MR6.2 speakers off channels 1&2 of a Nakamichi PA-2004 amp [100Wx4]). -DSO is quite a bit LAMER than I thought it would be. -BBE is ok -Radio tuner seems quite good and fast at searching. All in all I think the functionality of this HU is pretty good, but the interface and tuning capabilities kinda suck. This review was done prior to my install being completed: and I have not really spent more than a few minutes adjusting tuning etc, so take this from a "slap it in and use" it stand point. I got mine for $290CAD tax included with full warantee from a local shop, and I got a free CD/MP3-Walkman with a mail in rebate. The Hammer

Well, I do have a system in the work van after all. Work Van: 1997 Chevy Astro Cargo van Sony CDX-F7715X CD/Mp3 HU w burr brown Nakamichi PA-2004 Amp (4x 100Wrms) running (2x100W + 1x400W) 1x 10" Cadance Beast in a sealed downfiring box as a center console Aura MR 6.2 in the front doors (I took the Omnifi out already since the Sony handles mp3 discs quite well.) The car just got delivered... More beautiful than I remember it. The Hammer

Well, Today I take possession of my new car: :D :D 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT Now I need to plan my system and decide what hardware to use etc. I have **lots to choose from** of course. I may reconsider the HU choice as I might sell my RFX-8250 The Hammer

How do you know exactly how many people are interested? Is my name on the interested list? Do you need a deposit? The Hammer

"Need" is a subjective term in my vocabulary. The Hammer

Ever since all of the discussion on ECA about Zed's new big six channel amplifier I have been interested. I couldn't seem to find the very first thread but here are the second and third. (from February 2005) second third I participated in the contest to pick the names for the new and large 6 and 4 channel amps. I actually won the six channel naming contest naming it the Leviathan. (no prize claimed yet) Been quite awhile since I have herad any news of how the building and testing of the prototypes are coming along. I realize good things take time, but I'm just curious if there are any developments. The Hammer

There was a promotion on the Kronos and Leviathan? The Hammer

looks like she didn't shave for work that day ... The Hammer

Ahhh, now I get it. Not sure but I think they would be ok in doors (depends a lot on the vehicle and crossover points). The Hammer

I guess I don't know what the heck you mean by "front stage addition" The Hammer

Recently got a package in the mail... Daytons ..mmm How does this sound for a system? Head unit ??? (Maybe RFX-8250) Tweets (x2): http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=276-608 Mid-range (x2): http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=276-620 Mid-bass (x4) http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=295-366 Sub-bass undetermined, but I do own 2x NIB 12" Claw Basket Stereo Integrity D2 Magnums, and a single NIB eD 15A22 (original flat nomex cone) Processing: Behringer Ultracurve Pro DEQ2496 EQ http://www.behringer.com/DEQ2496/index.cfm?lang=ENG Behriger Ultracurve Pro DCX2496 Crossover http://www.behringer.com/DCX2496/index.cfm?lang=ENG Amps: Zed Audio 6 channel Leviathan and 4 channel Kronos http://www.zedaudio.com/Products/New-Amplifiers.htm Seems to be all coming together. As far as home media (not car) I'm waiting for these 2 items to be delivered: (one is for my brother mind you) http://www.sarotech.com/english/cgi/pd.cgi?cmd=view&rno=15 http://www.mediagate.co.kr/english/prod_mg25.htm They should be fun to play with. The Hammer

Burr Brown OPamps and Burr Brown DACs are 2 different things folks. Let's not get them confused. The Kronos and Levthan (I have been told) will come standard with the Burr brown OPamps. They will not have any DACs however (no digital inputs on these amps). I dream of a Levithan for the 3 way set up front, and a Kronos on the substage myself. Using a Nakamichi Amp made by Zed Audio currently in my work van, and it seems fine. But these big amps are going to be quite special. Did I mention that I picked the name Leviathan? The Hammer

From what I have heard the prices on the website are actual prices. The best bet is to email Stephen or call him. I think the Leviathan and Kronos will be pretty nice amps myself. http://zedaudio.com/Products/New-Amplifiers.htm The Hammer

Work van is partially done. **Work Van** (pdf) Sub still not in, and Omnifi controller is still loose (not mounted). The Hammer

Lunar amps...? Sounds like something from the moon... haha, yah, only place I have seen anything is online forums. Maybe do a search on sin/eca/ca/caf The Hammer

Q. Being an amp company are there any plans to expand the product line to other items such as speakers? Q. How about a partnership or relationship with a speaker only company? The Hammer

Thanks Nick. Anything on 8"s or 10"s ? HAARRRRRRR! (talk like a pirate) The Hammer

Well, I think that the statement above is too much of a blanket statement. Very minor differences that may or maynot be noticed from the drivers seat doesn't make it "better in every way" to me. Is the new one require 30% less power? That's the sort of thing I'm looking for. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the reply, just lookng for a little more detail then a blanket marketing statement. "New and Improved" doesn't sell me laundry detergent or subwoofers. I'm thinking that the Magnum was a good design, so I'm wondering specifically what was changed to be improved in the design? The Hammer (* now springtime fresh)

First off let me say that I love the look of the old SI Magnum especially the Claw basket. The new SI D2 looks ok, but besides looks is there big differences in the models? The new one looks to have less cone area (maybe more similar to a 10" cone and a huge surround.) I'm sure there is a thread describing the newer driver, but how about a comparison? Advantages? Disadvantages? General differences? PS.. The 8"s never materialized .. any future plans for those, or 10"s?? The Hammer

We want silly prices. The Hammer

Hook a brother up ? Like I need more amps... The Hammer
