Kicker ZX replaced the KX so they are equals...The Kicker High end line is the SX series.

For Kicker its ZX then SX, for Zapco it goes Reference, DC Reference, then Competition. The Reference and ZX are their entry level lines.

The lowend of Zapco is their i-Force line.

I see. Unfortunately they do not have mono amps in that line. I was just checking the website. The 500.1 is class A/B. I this amp a power hog?

Zapco All Day..

I ran (2) Zapco Refrence 350's back when they just changed from the AG line..

I had them on some Focal Kev's & IDQ12 In The Back..

I changed to ARC CXL's & Did not get the sound out of the system like the Zapco's did..

I then got Zapco Z200C2-SL's (O/S Amps)

OMG They Just Bring so much out of the system.. Zapco All Day..

Peace Troy

Its going to run my front components.

Owned the Z220 since it was new.

No, there were no speakers made that could handle the power.

From the amps you listed it looks like you want ~600 watts at 2 ohms. If you have some flexibility and could configure a 1 ohm load, I would look into a Zed Minilith. Great amps and they aren't that expensive.

You can get one for about $260 shipped from Zed Audio directly. http://www.zedaudio.com/products.html

Rich B- I'm diggin that Zed made US Acoustics, nice amp.

Thanks, thats my newest addition to my meager amp collection.

Im going to be using 2 10" Perfect 10.1's and I had heard they dont live for long if they're run above their 350w rating, so I searched a long time for something approaching that wattage and found that USA 2300f available on another forum.

At 300w per channel it should do the trick.
