Looks like a 9.0

A 9.0 is just about equal the length of my 4150 4ch,(~18-19") i think its safe to say by the pic it has it beat by a full length on top of that. That thing looks a good ~30 inches long

It looks like a Zapco? Take a look who designed it...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Lol.

Since they basically use the same heatsinks, am I to assume the boards are similar?

9.0 is a Tripath, this amp is an A/B twice as big

Heatsinks to be used are designed/chosen by the engineer. The 9.0 was not designed by Rob Zef. But I'm sure whatever enginners are at Zapco had a nice , lengthy tenure working under him at some point in the 25+ years he ran ZAPCO.

Brilliant minds think alike.

hell yeah...not for the weak of (electrical system) heart...thats for sure

I'm sure some will put it to the test in the lanes eventually.

The ZR's did well back in the day, so does the a/b Power amps- althoug none ever this size-and they are all inneficient as hell.
