Wow I havent seen or heard that name in years, They used to own hifonics and did the gen x series stuff. They had some great engineers back in the 90's I dont know about now but they used to be great.

Edit, I just checked there site and it is the same company! They even use the same ole blue circuit boards. I personally havent had experience with these amps but there old stuff was awsome. I have friend that still has 2 son of collossus running 6 12" solobarics. There bullet proof amps very well designed. My opinion

Prices arent too bad either.......

Must just be that people dont know about them. I cant think of EVER seeing a review on them, or hearing that much about them.

audiojunkies.com caries them, and if you been to luka's site you know he only carries quality brands (rainbow, aura, Stereo integrity, oz, etc...) I hear they are outstanding amps, solid, not over prices, excellent sq!!!! and once again built by one of the best ampilifer makers, Stephen Mantz.

I personally would choose zed amps but ive decided to support sundown who makes excellent products as well.

I have a ZED audio made (97ish I beleive?) us acoustics 4050 bridged to my front stage and the SQ is outstanding. Have the gains set very low and my comps keep up with my substage pretty well...wanna turn it up a little though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

On a side note, I cant wait till I run it active //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Zed never owned Hifonics...they simply designed the amplifiers for them. Zed is an amplifier/electronics design and buildhouse. Designed and built many highly acclaimed amplifiers over the years...the older Hifonics amplifiers, older Lanzar Opti's, ESX, Rodek, etc.

And they had the same "engineer" then as they do now... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Same guy doing the same thing.

Hell of a nice guy is basically all I can say. Came close to buying a Deuce...and Steven's quick communication and support was 90% of the reason I'd buy from him/them in the future.

On a side note, Zed's website is full of tech info on amps. Great reading: http://www.zedaudio.com/techtalk.html

I've already talked with Lucas a bit.....just looking for a bit of feedback prior to pulling the trigger.......pulled....http://www.audiojunkies.com/product_detail.php?cid=180&product_id=265 ...I have work to do..

yeah i was going to get the duece until i heard about the 100.4. Some people have success running 2 deuces. 1 for comps for for sub bridged. 800 x 1 @ 4 isnt bad for an comp amp

Well ya learn something everyday! I thought they owned them, makes sense if you see the circuit boards from all the amps you stated you'll see the same well designed layout. I couldnt think of the guys name "steve". Sorry its been a while from my install days!

Since I already have the sub and amp I was looking for power to the fronts only. The specs are real nice for that price point I would say. Looking forward to this install....should turn out nice. Now I need to make up my mind on where to purchase an 880 PRS....
