Get one if you can. I have a Zapco 350i & wouldn't trade it for anything. They make very high quality products.

lol there is no need for questions when it comes to zapco... its quite simple... someof the best amps ever made flat out...specifically the older ones... these newer cheap ones dont have the numbers like the old ones did.... zapco = nothing but clean real power.... i personally own several zapco amps and love them... selling an AG1000 perty soon its one of the old school big boy competition amps.... they were also generaly grossly under rated...

Zapco = the baddest of bad.

My head is such a mess right now. I'm trying to remember this guys setup, but I'm just not getting it... grr.

Zapco Amp + Adire Audio Brahma 15" and this guy took home 1st at a pretty serious sound competition. I just wish I could remember all the little things...


I'm going to drop retarded $$$ on one of their amps once the driveline is finished in my car.
