The LX upgrade to this is ~$100 more and it strips the crossovers and upgrades the internals. Big AB power.

I am running the Z-150.6 with 2 channels bridged to my subwoofer. It sounds phenomenal and I had a great amp on it already.

Not sure what you mean by "not sealed off from the rear"
So I should try to figure out a way to put the sub in the back with my tools... i assume that will also maximise cabin gain. i'll have to do some experimenting, this is good to know.

But up front might work for me, i'm almost 60 and my need for SPL is not that much but i do want the low end extension.

With a fully developed wave, your low end will sound more full and play deep as well.

Sealed off means walled off lol

I've been thinking about this a lot, and doing some research on those amps. It seems the only possible down side to Zapco's is getting them fixed IF you ever have a issue with them. I guess that's were buying new from a good authorized dealer like yourself come into play.

Unfortunately the new price is out of my budget, maybe not out of my budget, but more of a "fear for my life if my wife found out what i spent", kind of thing. I think at some point i'll have to give that Z 150.6 LX a try just to see what SQ amps are all about.

Thanks for this recommendation,

You know I never thought about that before, but she really never buys anything real nice for herself. Not only is she not a big spender, but she mostly buys things for other people more than herself.

Damm, now i feel guilty, i think i'm going to have to get her something real nice for our 30th coming up.

Maybe she'll like a new amplifier //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif ,,, Just kidding,,, man i su*k just for thinking that, LOL.
