Ok, is it just me or do mp3's sound like crap? They are ok at low volume, but when you turn it up, they are very harsh. I know that there are different bit rates and most of mine are 128-192 with a few 256's. Is that the problem? bit rate too low or does it matter? Audio cd's seem to sound...

Glue and clamp will be strong. Screws are preferred though as they sort of "clamp" for you. In a properly glued and clamped joint, the wood will break before the glue joint will. I would go to a cabinet shop before I would let a mass merchandiser cut the wood. You can usually get a local...

You mean like a hard wired car kit?

Got my Avic installed this weekend. Absolutely love it. Had someone else install it cause I didnt want to mess with the speed sensor, etc. Still trying to learn all the nav stuff. The XM is pretty cool too. Focals, Kappa Perfect 10s, Zapco, and Soundstream Van Gogh going in this weekend...

Last Thursday I ordered an amp from them. They are an eBay store. I called first to make sure that they had the amp in stock and would ship the same day. Since they are in CA I would probably get the amp on Friday. They said no problem, amp was in stock and it would go out on thursday. I...

Love the Zapco stuff. It usually exceeds the rated power. You might want to check the math on the sub wiring. Doesn't sound right to me, but its been a while since I have had to calculate that stuff. Others here would know better than I. Rob

I believe they use a bridging module, but I have seen someone on the forums that can fabricate a solution for bridging.

I thought the HCCA's were 1/2 ohm stable, but I could be wrong. I couldnt afford one back then so I am not sure. ebay hcca 225

I see that there are many different lines for Zapco amps. There is the older Studio line, the Reference Series, and the Competition series. They also have a newer line of imports but I cant remember the name at the moment. Is the studio the same as the newer reference line? It seems that the...

Well, my Z150 is an older model that is all black with the thin fins. I can match brands, but unless someone has an older Z220 or so I will have a different "look" anyway. But I was leaning towards the zapco anyway. Audison seems good, I like that it is unique, but I already have the zap...

true.

Depends on what I can find. Your answer was pretty much what I was looking for. Probably the Lrx monoblock on the Audison. Equivalent priced amp line on the Zapco.

Ok, narrowed it down. Looking for Sound Quality. Something in the 400 watt range for a pair of 10's Would you recommend Zap or Audison? Which is cleaner? Thanks. Rob Zapco already on the Focal components up front.
