Up to you and your budget. You can't wrong with either choice.

i would easily run eaither depending on the size limitations of the installation. also if you want you can do that symbalink shit with the zapco. basically its balanced RCA system.

but as far as build quality, i would put them both at the top with the zapco slightly above the gti, but the gti is less expensive per watt, and the GTi is more flexible with any resistance, whereas the zapco does power at 2ohm mono, but the zapco is 2 channel and thus flexible as well where the gti is mono only.

so there are benifits to both. the GTI is DEEP as hell, and the c2k is long as ****. so really its all on prefrence. both look very much like ****** explosion.
