These amps are incredible, the output and clarity are just above and beyond any other none Zapco amps that I have used. Plus the DSP processing that is built in makes it really easy to tune the set up just right. I hooked my laptop up to the 360 and was able to tune both amps.
The setting included, gain, eq, time delay, crossover setting, output level, input level and actually more than I can remember right now. The coolest part is that i could sit in the drivers seat with my laptop and adjust everything all at once. Instead of having to make countless trips to the trunk. The other great feature with the Zapco amp (not just the DC's) is they have a balance line output called symbilink that keeps radiated noise out of your sound and boost the pre outs up to 18 volts. Giving you a lower noise floor and a boosted signal to amps.
If your into SQ these amps will absolutely fit the bill. But as a whole all the Zapco amps that I have used are on a different level than any other amps I have used. Including JL Audio slash and e series, Rockford Power series, PPI power class old school( these were pretty close in SQ), xtant, Alpine and a couple others I cant think of right now. The only draw back to these amps are the sub amp is a class ab, while this is great for SQ, it is a bit less efficient than most d class's and heats up pretty quick and consumes quite a bit of power. If you have an questions about these amps I will be happy to try and answer them or Zapco has a really good forum that has actual technicians from there staff answering question.

This is one sick amp. I have this running to 4 JL W3 in a ported box.
The bass hits so hard with this amp and the best thing about this is amp is it's really clean power. I have the bass down to -4 and it still pounds like hell. And I still probably have enough power left to hook up 4 more W3's although I'd never do that.
I've had a system in all my other cars but none of them come close to the system I have now.I only have a set of Morel Integra components in the kick panel for the highs run by a Rockford 501x amp. I'm getting rid of this amp and replacing with a new Zapco amp because this amp cannot make these speakers sing.
A Zapco amp should do the job. I'm going to try out some amps at the shop where I got the Studio 500, I can't wait.
I would highly recommed these amps to anyone who likes lots of CLEAN power. This is one sick amp. I have this running to 4 JL W3 in a ported box.

I have always been impressed with the Studio line of amplifiers by Zapco. The build quality, flexibility, and small footprint make them a favorite of mine for SQ setups. I've owned the Studio 500, 300x, 150, 100, and the Z200C2-SL from the competition series of the same era. These amplifiers have never let me down!
They sound clean, powerful, and always underrated. The amplifier that I'm reviewing here is the big boy. The Studio 500!
This baby does 250x2 at 4ohm, 500x2 at 2ohm, and an underrated 1000x1 at 4ohm mono. The boys at Zapco say that the 500 will put out over 1350 watts with 14.4 going to it. I have my amp running a 12W7 in a sealed 1.7ft^2 enclosure. The amp drives that sub to gut wrenching levels! I have to turn the amp down to Zero. I just can't take it. This model has the 'Signal Reference Ground' this provides a ground which will be ran from the chassis of the headunit to the special output on the amp.
This is said to eliminate noise for a cleaner signal. I tell you, this amp is very clean! The damping factor is 900 at 4ohm which is very good for subwoofers. My 12W7 hits very tight and fast. And that's with the gain turned all the way down.
This amp puts out some unbelievable power! I think that it could run 2 W7s with ease and that this is an incredible sub amp for sound quality setups.
I traded off my JL Audio 1000/1 and got this amp, if that tells you how good this thing sounds. If you can get your hands on one of these amps, hold on to it. They're getting harder to find.

Ever since I was a kid I'VE heard of ZAPCO.
Especially living in Turlock which is next to Modesto where ZAPCO is made. My brother paid $2,600 for them. Then he passed them down to me for $450.00.
I had 2 12's Kcker comps and tried the 100 watt ZAPCO and the bass was hitting hard and clear so i decided to try the studio300x and that one blew my speakers. So what I did I bought 4 12's solobarics L5 and used my 2 studio300x for my subs and the z100c for my highs amd let me tell what my system sounds so clear and perfect and the bass let me tell you i have to have it on -6 on my stereo and it still hits hard. ZAPCO amps are the best but expensive thats why you dont see them around as much as other amps. I've had stereo systems in all the cars i owned from rockford fosgate to ppi to kenwood to alpine.
And none of them come close to ZAPCO but ARC AUDIO which is designed by Robert Zeff the maker of ZAPCO, (Zeff Advanced Product Co). Once you go ZAPCO you will never try want any other amp. My next goal is to enter in a competition which everybody tells me to. Ever since I was a kid I'VE heard of ZAPCO. Especially living in Turlock which is next to Modesto where ZAPCO is made.

The amp just needs to cleanly amplify the deck signal with high current capability without overheating and with no detriment to the sound quality.
Very few amps seem to be up to the job, however.Zapco makes a quality amp, but they do it at a very reasonable price. Soundstream made quality amps before they went under and were bought out by some cheapo electronics conglomerate. Audison and McIntosh make great amps, but at a much higher price than the Zapco ref series.I love the sound of my system, but I think it is mainly because I like my McIntosh MX406 deck and Morel Integra 6.5' speakers. My Zapco amp just lets them sing. It's much easier to judge the sound of a deck or speakers which leave a strong signature on the sound.

None can compare. One example: the rockford power 100bd puts out 1000 watts rms and is a powerful amp, the zapco is 500 watts and is louder, cleaner, sharper. The lows are lower and more powerful thanks to the 15 to 50hz crossover (24 extra db at the lower hz) along with the usual 50 to 250hz crossover. Anyone who is looking for quality and is willing to pay the price aill never be disappointed with zapco.p.s. They also come with a balanced line transmitter that ups the voltage to 16v to the amp and adds an extra 0 to 12db with the signal.

Weakness:there so damm good once you hear them you don't want anything else, thats right these amps will spoil anyone who is a true audiophile. Not everyone can afford these amps are everyone would have them, but if you can't get the compotetion amps then go with the ref. Series ther're the next best valut to the comp. Series ther're about like brax, mcintosh, audison, only ther're a lot less expensive you can get the 1100d for about 900.00 its now the 9.0, but then again nothing else is either so there you have it. See at the world championships in kc mo. On the 22 of nov.
2003 be there are be square!!! Hello, this is a spinoff of the article i wrote on in the jlaudio sec of subwoofers. These amps are responsible for the boosting of the signal from the f#1 status 7990 & 900 proc. First these are not your budget amps, but if you want the very best in reliability and the cleanest,smoothest,most musical sound quality reproduction on the planet, whoop here it is. Now let me back you a bit, it is vital that you have a excellant source, i'd suggest f#1status 1st., then maybe eclipse 8053, pioneer Dp9, orAlpine D900 Dvd player it is 5.1 and has a screen and it is as close as it gets to having sound quality of the f#1status, it has a fiberoptic cable just like the f#1 these are the only alpine pieces with true 5.1 and it d-900 is also xm ready and the f#1 is not that is the only thing alpine didn't include on the f#1, oh well!
Now back to the amps, these zapco amps are so good i sold my big brax, which in my old set up ran two jlaudio 12w3 d4's in a custom sealed enclosure simular to the one i'm running now. It the brax couldn't touch the zapco 9.0. The 9.0 is the monster of monster and i'm not just talking power either it is rated at 2200 watts rms 2 or 4 ohm and will deliver up to 4500 watts if you do all the little things i talked about in the jlaudio article on go and read it next its very beneficial. The 9.0 is neither class ab or d it's a combo of both depending on how you want it to work. Its called a tri-path best in the world, all i can say is the zapco comps are the best of best bar none heck the 9.0 evan has its own personal moniter to help tune it.
Now for the 6.0 and 4.0, i got rid of my big mcintosh so i could ran the 6.0 and 4.0 the 6.0 is a class ab amp and i mean what a amp i have it running a set of focal utopia's 165w two way comp. And man i have heard sweet kick's before but the 6.0 is the perfect match for focal's, dyn's, rainbow's or enen the best comp.
Out there the f#1status comp. Retail for 4000.00 set they are good when i heard my 6.0 take controll of my focals, the best for the money about 1,100.00 a set, and i mean take controll they are so detailed,musical,and smooth i can't tell a difference between them and my friends f#1status 2-ways in his 500 mercedes-benz in fact he is putting the alpine f#1's in his wife acura 3.2 because he went purchased the 165w's when he heard mine on the 6.0 and 4.0. Now he and i both have the 6.0 2ch running the mids and the 4.0 4ch running the tweeters in the kicks and the rear fill 2ch. Up front and 2ch. On the jlaudio 650cxi co-ax for rear fill nice and smooth perfect match for the roll off of the jl 12w7 which play from 55 hz. The jl 650's pick up at 100 hz.
And sing,sing and sing. These amps are balanced so make sure you do all the little things like electrical upgrade, and good source because i'm telling you, you get out what you put in if its clear you get clear if its bad you get bad. These amps are so clean i car here a beer car being opened on nelly's sony airforce-1, on another song m&m you can here the air cond. Running in the background now thats clean power. I have not heard of a zapco comp.
Amp ever shutting down from mach problems its always been because it was wired wrong are the didn't do the little things like electrical upgrade very important very,very!!! If you do as i've stated you can't get a beter amp than zapco unless you spend 75,000.00 for a krell, 0r mark levinson home amplifier, zapco is the equal no bull, its the best damm amp co. In the world great tech. Support and all that. Now don't get me wrong theres some other good amps out there and i've already name them in the article,but if you want the very best that will never shut down not even in 115 degree texas heat after 9 hrs. Play from dallas to new orleans and mean slamming and jamming all the way the amps never got past slightly warm not really ever warm thats a harsh adj. For them but i trying to find something bad about them, but i can't if i did i wouldn't be telling the truith and i don't lie for the hell of it.
In concluding i will say these are the best damm amplifier's period!!! Weakness:there so damm good once you hear them you don't want anything else, thats right these amps will spoil anyone who is a true audiophile.
