Anyone have one of these? The idea of many thousands of songs at my fingertips was irresistible. Whopping 20GB hard drive!

I had one in a 4th order config, with two 8" CV drivers. It hit about 125dB with a Punch 75. Not bad at the time.

Sold it to a kid who worked for me, for his '84 dog of a Corvette.
It got stolen before he even paid me for it.

Well that's a suckie experience. He gave you an '84 Corvette for that amp and subs?

I didn't have that, but I had the Pioneer Avic-Z1 with the built in 30GB hard drive. I believe only 10 gigs were for music.

20 GB of maps?

I really can't remember. I just remember most of the HD was for the map and operating system. The Z1 had a lot of different mapping features on it.

Should I: A. Sell them. B. Turn them into a set of bookshelf speakers C. Turn them into a Bluetooth boombox. ??

C. BT boombox. Selling requires waiting for someone to show up and there are many no shows and stingy hagglers. Bookshelf speakers may hardly get used for you'd have to be in that room where you set them up.

Another oldie. Had one mounted on the transmission hump by my right knee so I could adjust on-the-fly for the music I was playing (LONG before DSP could be applied en masse to digital files).

1990 HiFonics Zeus VII Amp Dyno Test

We got our hands on a Zeus VII and could not wait to test it out on the Amp Dyno. We had some disappointments with high current Zed Audio amps on the Dyno (Crunch 50SHC and ...
