I just picked up an old blueish grey lanzar opti 160 and was wondering if anyone knew anything about this amp. I know nothing about 4 channel lanzars

is it this vintage?

I think a 160 4ch would be rated 40x4, but all those old ones were very good quality amps that were WAY under-rated.

I would guesstimate it at something like 60x4 @ 4 and 200x2 bridged.

You definitely got the better end of that deal. The 10's aren't DC's are they?

they are se's

the front channels have full pass or high pass outputs, and the rears have full or sub outputs

Not much increase in power, but a lot of heat and maybe some smoke.

They parted ways with Zed Audio.

The optidrive stuff is still pretty solid - but not like the beasts Zed built.

All the other lines are just the usual budget level equipment. A decent buy here and there, but nothing you can expect to last a long time.

I guess I didnt get that great of a deal beacause the 4ch doesnt work

on a better note I hooked up my opti50 to my 13ov.2 4 and it pushed it pretty good, the amp was maxed out. I then tried my opti100, and **** that thing barely turned up was slammin that woofer hard!
