Earlier this week i found a Phoenix Gold ZPA 0.5 on craigslist a couple hours from where i lived. It was about how much i was looking to spend so i decided to go for it. I hooked it all up and it doesn't work in my car. I'm almost positive its because i dont have a deck and i use an OEM Converter, but theres also a slight chance thats its because i dont have a line driver. The amp powers on fine and i can feel power going through the sub but it barely moves. All the lights light up green and both of the fans work. Cosmetically its in great condition except for a small crack on the corner of the plexiglass from overtightening a screw.

Site gives some useful information, the amp also has the upgraded crossover module that was sold seperately when the amp was produced. Like i said i cannot get this amp to work in my car because i dont think its getting enough volts, but i can guarentee it is in 100% working order. The guy i bought it from said he would hook it up for me if i wanted, but i said no because he seemed like an honest guy and i wanted to get back on the road to get home. (2 hour drive each way)
If anyone shows interest i can get pics up later today. Asking 420 shipped obo or trade for an amp of similar power thats just a little more user friendly, possibly even trade for a larger amp plus cash from me.
