anyone heard of this amp?? i aws going to go with this instead of a 100.4 and 50.4 to run my highs..anyone think i should stick with the two amps?also this is going in a single can s10 so space is limited, hence why i was thinking the ZED amp would be better...i have no clue if its good or if its trash?

iirc they had a turn-on pop issue when they were first released. not sure if they fixed that or not.

would you choose the two sundown amps over the ZED? after all is said and done ill spend close to the same amount of money anyways...

i'd choose the zed just to be different. also because the amp is small, I personally like small amps. read the review pdf, it was great

Could I run 6 componts off of this amp? The way it sounded ithas a seperate woofer channel...I probably misread it lol

ZED knows of the problem now and they're hand built so I'm sure he's not letting any of them go out the door without fixing the issue. I think I read that it was a pretty simple fix and ZED was even telling people how to fix the amp themselves.

I'd love to someday try one of these or the Zuki 6ch. amps out.

I wouldn't run more than 4 sets: 2 sets on channels 1&2 and 3&4. channel 5&6 only have a low pass filter so it wouldn't work for another 2 pair of comps

channels 5 6 are for subs, u can bring channels 1 2 3 4 down to lower imp, u dont need 2 amps 2 run 6 speakers

well dang...that sucks cause i was looking for a 6 channel amp for comps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

 

[treylittlefield 10+ year member]

well the only problem is all my speakers are 4 ohm...and for all 6 comps i need 150watts..so id need 300 wattsx3 at 2 ohms....correct?

 

[treylittlefield 10+ year member]

and i wouldnt get the ZED amp and waste 3 channels...lol ya know?

The Zed amp pawns all mentioned in overall true power, efficiency and SQ. Funny how everyone here thinks the only good amp made is Sundown, lol.

 

[treylittlefield 10+ year member]

o i nkow that sundown isnt the only good amp out there..lol i just thought that it was capable of running 3 sets of comps...which would have been awesome...i cant seem to find a amp capable of that.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif and i dont think i can fit a sundown 50.4 under my seat either

What ZED has stated was that there was a batch of semi-faulty chips on the initial run. Apparently they were not failing right away during factory quality testing. For those of whom that had the issue from the initial run of amps, ZED put out the offer to replace/repair the chip for free and pay shipping both ways. Also they stated that the chip supplier corrected the issue and delivered all new chips.
