If you're REALLY interested, I'm sure I could get the subs for you. I could ship them through my APO address to the states, but it would still be REALLY expensive on your end. However, if you're will to pay for EVERYTHING, I'd be more than happy to help you out. Just let me know...GZ is everywhere here in douche-bag-land

I had the GZNW12, they're badass subs. If I could afford them, I'd buy some of their 18's.

 

[DB-Audio 10+ year member]

yeah i do really want one but i cant afford them yet how much are the 12" one's

 

[Boomintempo 10+ year member]

Couldn't tell you off the top of my head...if you search google, you'll find pretty close/accurate prices. PM if you're REALLY interested, and I'd be glad to help you out.

Edit: Remember dollar to euro REALLY sucks right now

Hm i dont see prices anywhere, whats they cost? If that is a picture of the actual 18 on the link then WOW that magnet must be huge. But like others have said.. the soundstream XXX will take close to that ez and is hellofalot cheaper..

Also anyone know whats the cheapest u can buy a soundstream 18 for?

 

[Boomintempo 10+ year member]

Yes the 18" Plut. SPL is a BEAST. It's the biggest woofer I've ever seen. It also takes ALOT to move it. Probably isn't very musical though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Honestly, unless you're in a high paying (euro paying) job, then it's such a rip off to get a GZ right now. The rate is currently (according to AFN) "In Germany and the Netherlands $1 buys € 0.6884 (1€ buys $1.4526)"

Yeah, weak sauce

hear in the states they had a 34" audiobahn sub for a little while i know 12 were made, and they have a 21" incriminator audio death penalty and a 22" mtx jackhammer, and now a 24" jackhammer really i want a ground zero sub cause no body around here has a ground zero sub that i know of

 

[Boomintempo 10+ year member]

Yeah, if you have the cash and don't mind the prices...then go for it, if you're just trying to be different. Like I said, if you're REALLY interested just let me know. I can get estimates from a local place, and let you know. (obviously not right now though, it's 10:25 pm!)

 

[DB-Audio 10+ year member]

yup i am interested but like i said before i gotta save up the money for it

 

[Boomintempo 10+ year member]

So what are you looking for then, the 12" or 18"? They're both beasts, make sure you have the electrical to burrrrrrrrrrrrrrp these babies.

yep ..... great subs .but u can get cheaper in the States

GROUND ZERO

- Story of success

1995

The company Ground Zero was founded in 1995 in Frankfurt, Germany, by Karl F. Lautner and Peter Unterharnscheidt under the name of Ultimate / MaGmA GmbH. The name taken from geology, MAGMA was symbolizing the raw force of a volcano. Ground Zero is the denotation for the ground of a volcano's crater.

1977

The American amplifier guru Bob Carver introduced a fully active home subwoofer under the brand name Sunfire, which was unlike anything before: it had an exorbitantly huge surround.

This new Sunfire also attracted the attention of the MaGmA team headed up by Lautner and Unterharnscheidt. They recognized the advantages of thus construction and acquired the sales rights for Europe under the name “Ground Zero”.

In 1997

The search for a new factory lead MaGmA to a German emigrant, Thilo Stompler, who had formed an American company, TC Sound. MaGmA and TC Sound cooperated closely and created a new edition of the beloved Ground Zero woofers. Aluminum cones, tireless spiders and woven-in leads helped to create a level of stability which was – up until then – unheard for subwoofers. It is still unbeaten!

In 1999

The company moved to the town of Egmating (pop. 2,000) near Munich.

The Ground Zero product became increasingly recognized and gained significantly higher market share compared with more conventional car hi-fi companies.

By 2000

Karl F. Lautner and Peter Unterharnscheidt had recognised that their brand, Ground Zero, could be expanded to include car hi-fi power amplifiers and speakers. But this could only be done by meeting the same quality expectations that were used for Ground Zero subwoofers. They designed the line extension with extra features and state-of-the-art engineering.

Ground Zero products have always distinguished themselves because of that extra investment. The power amplifiers convinced with their “inner values” – their functionality and timelessness.

2003

The company was re-named to Ground Zero in order to emphasize that the company is not only the distributor but also the manufacturer of this excellent product. All rights for the brand name “Ground Zero” and the respective trademarks are registered world wide.

2004

The manufacturing was relocated in the Far East where Ground Zero finally found a manufacturer capable of producing the voice coil that would meet their strict requirements. The result was the new Ground Zero quad coil woofer, model GZPW 15XQ.

While other quad coil woofers primarily offer flexible impedance, Ground Zero’s GZPW 15 XQ had an entirely different goal: to have an immense load capacity making it possible to operate them with four high performance power amplifiers equalling 10,000 watts! This would allow the user to extract even the last decibel of high level reserve out of the woofer – along with the further advantage that it could use an extremely small enclosure volume.

For this sound pressure other products need double as much cone area, if not the double cone diameter…
