WTT:Digital Designs Z1a (Not Working)

[hotsizzle56 10+ year member]

I have a Z1a that I recently bought from a friend. It was working fine on my DD 9512g (Dual 1 Ohm wired @ 2) until one day my fuses popped. I don't know what happened but I checked everything in my car to see if that was the problem but I found NOTHING. Then I opened up the amp and NOTHING was burnt, smelled bad or anything in that nature. So, I redid my wires and popped in another set of fuses and they pop again. This amp has never dipped below 13.3v so yeah. I'm pricing the repair right now, but if I can get a good trade offer then I might just let it go. It comes with the box and manual. I'll take new pics and I'll post em up later. Right now, I'm just looking for an amp that can drop down to .5 for burps and at least 2000+ rms @ 2 ohms. Not looking for anything else other then that. Post or PM me and let me know what you got. Here's some recent pics of it. Stupid offers will be ignored!

take a multi-meter and see if the power wire is shorting to ground somewhere. Ifs its popping fuses something is shorted.

Best offer so far is trade for 2 Orion 2500D. Everything else is either not what I'm looking for or totally off what I'm actually looking for.

how much cash you want for it??

wow u havnt jumped on the 2 orions? jeez

I would take the 2 Orions. This amp usually costs around $700-$800 used. Yours is blown, I think that $350 was a fair offer considering the cost of repair. I have also heard of people waiting 6+ months to get these back from DD. All I read over at soundpressure is nightmare stories about these amplifiers, I can't believe that anyone would even buy them, I am in no way shitting on DD products but I feel they should stick to woofers. I will also offer you $350 for it, take the Orions.

ya thinkin same thing LOl take the orions

$350 for it? No thanx. I'd rather repair it and sell it for ~$1000. Used ones still go for $1000+ so if you find one for less then $1000, show it to me and I'll jump on it asap. Remember now, this isn't a Z1. Those were going for more then $350 blown. As for the Orion's, I'm not just gonna jump on it like that. I've had that amp before and it was great so I just wanna see if I can get something else that I haven't tried before. If I don't see anything I like then I'll just keep it. I'm not in a rush to get rid of this so don't be jumping down my throat because ONE good offer gets put on the table.

Okay, okay bring on the flamming...

lol relax take it easy man hahaha was jus curious why u didnt jump on the orions but now we see why so kick back

You could sell the Orions for around $400 each. You would **** near get your money back for this amp. Just a suggestion.
