I installed my new Zed Audio Gladius today to power my boston comps. The problem is sound only comes from the tweeters when the internal amp of the hu is off. There is no sound from the woofers. However when I turn the internal amp "ON" the woofes begin to play. But the tweeters are still...

the amp rating on my zed audio gladius is only 25 amps, I guess it sucks.

Thanks for the help guys. Im new to this stuff.

I recently received an answer from Steve Mantz after I emailed him questioning whether or not the gladius contained an internal fuse and he replied that it did not. Therefore I plan on using the 25 amp fuse rating at the distribution block for the gladius and a 60 amp fuse for my sub amp since...

I recently purchased and received a zed audio gladius amp. I dont seem to see any internal fuses. Does anybody know if they come with internal fuses or not.

so if my amps have internal fuses, it is okay to overfuse w/o risking any damage or starting a fire. However I am not sure if the Zed Audio Gladius has any fuses on it. If so I think I should stick with the 25 amp fuse rating explicitly stated on their website.

I am installing an Alpine MRP-M200 and a Zed Audio Gladius, each with a fuse rating of 25A. I have decided to run a 4AWG power wire about 10 feet to the back of my vehicle, at which point it meets a fused distribution block. Two 8AWG wires will then travel to my amps, which are only a few feet...

I would not recommend using component speakers in your house. They are designed to work in the door panels or kick panels of a car. They were not designed to be placed in a larger cabinet for use in a home stereo. I would recommend either purchasing speakers from a trusted manufacturer or...

If you want the best signal, get an external sound card with a digital out (optical or coaxial) and you will have yourself a digital connection. But this is probably the priciest option.

I have a 4runner with boston pro 6.5" that I am installing in the factory door locations with the midrange in the bottom of the door and the tweeter on the a pillar. Should I set the crossover to on or off axis? Also I think I may need to reground my head unit. Any comments on how to do this...

If anyone is looking for a good program to burn CDs, Exact Audio Copy is great. It allows you create an image file of the CD which is stored on the hard drive and then make copies of it. You can also configure it to encode audio into various formats. It is very reliable and free. Check it...

I agree. Your info is legitimate and very true. My original post was intended to inform compressed music users by using a comparison with amplifiers. Like all comparisons, it was not perfect. I believe compressed music has found its way into far too many cars which demand more than its...

exactly. Two different amps will sound 99% the same in the same exact conditions. A realistic scenario is the choice of a stereo owner to swap out amps but leave the rest of his setup untouched. In this case, when played w/in their limits, neither amplifier will have an advantage in sound...

agreed.

All speakers sound different with some being MUCH more revealing than others. The whole system technically plays a role in the quality of sound it produces. Focus on the original idea. I argue that using uncompressed music as opposed to compressed music will have a much greater effect on the...
