I have been looking for a decent amp at 175W RMS at 4 ohms for 2 chanels.. All I have come up with is a P650.2 from RF... Not shure about the brand tho... Any advice on a High Quality amp? It will be powering at pair of Comp. HD 62's from CDT...

Thanks for your time and advice...

That is the old list, from like 03-04, They have become a better company since then. Along with a few other brands like MA Audio and Planet Audio, all 3 have really improved since this list came out.. Have u already bought the ed9.1

"Zapco Buyers Beware

It has come to our attention again that a company known as Woofers etc. and acaraudio.com is selling Zapco products on the Internet.

We emphatically say Woofers etc. and acaraudio.com are not authorized Zapco dealer. Also, we don't exactly know how it's happening

but amplifiers bought from the two companies and sent to us for repair have lost their original Zapco serial numbers, even

the serial numbers we carefully hide inside each unit. This removal or defacement of the official Zapco serial number

voids Zapco's product warranty completely and borders on legally questionable action. We once again warn all of

you out there to make absolutely certain you are buying a fully warrantable Zapco product by asking to see the

original ARPA of America Warranty Registration Card originally shipped with the unit (a serial number is always

affixed to this card) or ask for the actual serial number and call us to verify its authenticity. Tampered products hurt

you and damage the reputation you've come to expect from Zapco products. Beware and check for an original Zapco

serial number every time you buy Zapco. "



WTF?!?! I just bought a amp from them...

I've spent 1K so far on my car audio setup...

MTX 8500, ported box Pioneer pre. DEH-P880PRS, CDT kamas, alpine amp, rear 6x9's and amp.. MTX sub amp.


I plan to get rid of the kamas... And get a new amp and CDT's 62 HD's, replace the 6x9's for CDT comps. and get a new amp for them...


I think I'll go with JL audio... Since there amps look impresive. I got a infinity and it sucks big time.. I got a alpine and its ok... My mtx rocks with my 8500 and pounds away with decent SQ...


I guess what I need to know is how much should I put into a amp for my CDT 62's comp.? Would a JL be over kill? Or would it be worth it for the comp.?

I guess I need your opinions before I get in over my head...
