Zed Amplifier group purchase

[Johnny-Longtors]

I am fronting a "group purchase" for Zed Amplifiers. Zed did NOT approach me to do this, I asked THEM if they'd extend the offer. This thread has been approved by the moderators of this board.


Why Zed:
Because these amps are awesome, and offer the flexibility and package to work great as a single-source amp for the Kappa. Designed, made, and SUPPORTED in America. Read the specs. Read about the man that makes them.
I spoken at length directly with Steve and he is a great guy - he really welcomes interaction and if you have ANY questions please contact him directly via email or by phone.
Monday-Thursday (Yes they work a 4 day week) at (805)-526-5315 PST
FAX at (805)-526-8572
E-Mail us at Zedaudio@aol.com

Zed Audio Corporation

And - THEY RUN EXTREMELY COOL!

To be clear: this is a lot of amp and it's a lot of money, and it's not going to be for everyone.

How much:
The 2-channel Kronos is $429 list
Untitled Document
The multi-channel Leviathan is $599 list
Untitled Document

Please note the current Zed website is being revamped. It is expected that the new website up by the 20th and the content will be more polished and complete.

What are the terms of the GP?:
There is a minimum of 4 people for the group pricing.
Every person that joins the group purchase knocks 1% off the cost up to 5 people, at 6 people we get 7.5% off, at 10 people we get 10% off.
More than 10 can participate, but that's the cap on the discount.

Note: between myself and a non-Kappa owner that contacted me via ZED we already have TWO sold......

How do I get in on the deal?:
You will PM me with your:

• off-site email address
• your desired amplifier
• your ship-to zip code

Once I have the final count of participants we will determine the cost-per-person.
You will the receive an email with your total cost including freight.

These amps are shipped fully insured, double boxed in a gift box and encased in memory foam.
Shipping is location dependent and typically between $17 - $27


You will PayPal Zed directly and you will be sent your amp.

Once your PayPal payment is received Zed will issue an invoice with your amplifiers serial number in it.


This will run from today until December Fifteenth - that's it. You're in or you're out. No long-term tire kicking.



FAQ:
Start Here: ZED AUDIO

1) Do we all need to buy the same amp for the "10 total"
Nope.

2) I want to know..... ?
If it's not addressed in the PDF attached call ZED (Steve) directly and ask!

3) Is this going to fit in location X?
No idea - the dimensions of the amps are:
Size in W x H x L
Kronos - 247mm x 55mm x 272mm (9.7” x 2.1” x 10.7”)
Leviathan - 247mm x 55mm x 410mm (9.7” x 2.1” x 16.1”)

4) What are the specs of these amps? How much XXX do they need? How much XXX do they have? How much XXX do they put out?
See page 15 of the detailed PDF attached - in short, they are pretty awesome.

Seriously - you need to read the attached PDF to have an appreciation for these hand-crafted gems.


That's it - I've tried to cover everything, but if you have questions and simply refuse to contact Zed you can ask away here.

Amp looks nice (bloody annoying website intro though).
I'll bet a lot of people don't get the urge to modify the stock system though. The Monsoon version is actually very decent (not so the base system).

I long ago gave up doing car stereo - and now use the car to drive home to where the real system lives. If you spend a lot of time on the road, or are an inveterate tweaker, I can see the attraction, though.

Not going to get in on this deal but just bought the replacement speakers that will go with the ZED Leviathan, it has so many cool features. I will be doing active crossovers, 2 channels for the 6 1/2 woofer/mid-bass in the doors, the tweeters and the rears will be tied together on 2 channels letting me balance the highs the way I want and then I will bridge the last 2 channels to drive the sub. That gives me 150 watts a side to the doors, 150 watts a side to the tweeters and rear paired and 300 watts to the sub FROM A SINGLE SMALL AMP!

Image Dynamics CXS64 V.2's in the doors and tweeters arrive tomorrow
Kicker 3 1/2 in the rear-installed
MB Quart 10" in the factory sub box-installed

I've got Infinity Kappa's for all 4 corners and a dual-coil JL Audio sub. This amp is actually overkill for me / my drivers - but I'd rather have the overhead and the compact package. Not to mention an amp that I can resell for a decent buck even years from now.....

[lil goat]

I usually stay away from the huge mega car stereo companies when I can, with subs it was a matter of what I could make fit. I wanted to go with Cadence speakers but the ones I wanted are out of production and my order got canceled, so I got a set of speakers I could not afford for a huge discount, I would not have paid $400 for a set of 6.5" speakers. The Image Dynamics are phenomenal speakers if you can afford them. There is nothing out in a six channel amp that even comes close to the Zed, and it is small and runs cool, what's not to like.

[cartmann32]

Phoenix Gold has the Roadster 66
but the price, ratings and footprint are all different compared to the Zed

[Johnny-Longtors]

Yes - if you want a bigger, hotter running, poorer performing amp for more money you clearly have that option.

Thanks for posting the review Johnny, shame the guy didn't like it LOL, that may be the best review I have ever read of an amp.

[Krelubot]

The review showed things I didn't realize about the amp. Built in crossovers. Are they bypassable?

[lil goat]

Yes, but why would you want to? Active crossovers are far superior to passive ones. I plan to not use the crossovers that came with my speakers and just use the ones in the Zed. The factory system uses active crossovers.
