Zapco Eq

[Milo916]

So getting an old school Zapco is pretty hard to find without spending over a $1000 for one. What in todays Eq are similar or better than the old school zap eq’s. I did hear one in a system and must say it made the system come alive and hit hard if there’s nothing on todays market I may save to try and get one

There are several dsps that can equate or murder a zapco. Audio control, helix, brax, Masconi to name a few

No way you spend thwt much for an EQ. I spent 1300 on my Audison APF8.9 bit. It's an 8 channel amp and 9 channel DSP built into one.

I had the Msix. Sold it to get the AP F8.9 for more power and running full active as well as the DSP. It's definitely a learning curve, but now I'm running optical input and have full control over individual speaker gain, a ton of DSP function, and I get a DSP channel for my sub.

Yeah I like I like the Addison But I don't have any problems with my M6 either thinking about the M12

I like the API have no problems with my M6 although I am thinking about getting the M12 just because it's the best of both worlds

You guys are pros for sure I am looking for todays Zapco board plug in play like the Zapco that I can use in 2 vehicles and please can you guys school me on what makes them so popular or is it just more for nostalgia reasons

 

[KicktheSDbasshead]

As far as plug in play I can't think of anything off hand but I know DSP is the way to go or maybe like those active crossovers I used a couple and they were they were nice they just weren't DSp

 

[KicktheSDbasshead]

Trust me to be a pro you have to be an engineer I can't speak for anyone else but I know I'm not a pro I just like this sounds And don't like a lot of people I've had a lot of different sounds a ton of them

Can you post a link to what you are talking about? There isn't really a plug and play solution like that from any brand that I know of.

What about these? Are these better than the old Skool zap eq

Those are pretty basic EQ's, but yes they should be the same/better than the zapco.
