i have had many zapco's and I agree with the Tom from KANKAR as the best ones are the Z series such as the Z220, Z150, Z300, Z500.
I have many of these amps and I tell ya I would NEVER get rid of them.
They just are extremely clean and can generate alot of power.
Hail to old school Zapco.

 

Stereo Man in Woodstock sells Zapco.

 

Thanks guys

Down town sounds in brantford seems to be very informative, so i think i'll cruise up there tomorrow and see what zapco is about + price. As for arc audio, a place in milton carries them I think, so it would be nice to compare. Do you guys think a zapco reference 500.1 would be overkill for a JL 8w7?

 

haha, last time I talked with someone at Stereo Man, he told me my car uses special 8 ohm speakers......

But that was some 3-4 years ago, and it's time again..., I'll be checking them out when I start again soon.

 

Is there such thing as overkill?

 

I hear ya, I have not had much experience with them but they are a Zapco dealer

 

Guys in Milton are awesome. They know their stuff and can help you out.

 

Well, I'll be checking them and another place out in a couple of weeks soon anyways, both places too me are considered average car audio shops, but I'd like to see what they have to offer.

My interest in Zapco comes from a review on the CA&E website of their DC650.6 digital amp, and their suggested retail for the amps I'm interested in being within my budget.

 

I checked out the DC line of zapco amps today, they are quite amazing to say the least. Everything can be adjusted and tuned using a comp. However, I probrably would never take full advantage of the options and its deffinately overkill for my application. Downtown sounds (brantford) and radioactive (burlington) dropped the prices quite a bit from the retail price if anyone is interested.

 

It's the DC line that I'm interested in, from the CA&E online review to all the features and things it can do, plus what appears to be a reasonable price factor, I want to at least check them out as well.
