  1. Thoughts on Zapco AG650...

    in Amplifiers

    Posted

    Zapco makes a great product ... you should be happy with this if it works properly being used ...

    Do you have a active crossover / equivalant ??

    I was under the impression the amp itself was capable of doing what I need for me to run active. From what I saw, at least 2 of the channels are band pass-able, 2 channels have 10x setting on the high pass, and 2 are intended for mid/sub bass...

    So I was figuring to run my tweets on 2 ch's, my 5.25 mids on the band-pass able channels, and my 8 inch mid basses on the remaining two.

    tweets crossed over around 3k hz, the mids from 250 to 3khs, and the 8s from 50/60 to 250 hz.

    Sound right or is this no bueno?

    So, ya...exactly that. Whatcha think about the Zapco AG650 6ch?

    Anyone have any experience with them? I have a 3 way comp set in my doors, and I want to ditch the crossovers and have been looking at my options.. was looking at running 2, possibly 3 amps to run my doors.. Then I came across this amp on my buddys shelf of stuff. Amp works fine, mechanically its a 10/10.. Cosmetically its like a 6. there are a fair amount of scratches on the case. He isn't ever going to use it, and said he'd sell it to me for ~250 bucks, that sound like a fair price? Would this be a good choice for running my doors active? I have never heard zapco amps in person, from what I can find on the 'net (which isnt a whole lot), this is supposed to be a nice quality piece.

    Thoughts?

    I buy the heaviest loads i can find. I figure if i miss ill just shoot again.

    Not to contradict your intelligence... But being as how i have been in some shootings... You should really think about making EVERY shot count... There are times where you may have to make your 1st shot count because that may be all you get... Just an FYI

    Smoke... thats exactly the kind of person Im not to worried about getting into a shootout with. Heaviest load isnt the best answer. Its the one you can hit with. You can have a damn bazooka for all I care... I know my shooting is on point.

    Sounds like fun... Just as interesting as me and Bounty Hunting lol... Never know what the fuck im going to get into until it happens lol... You ought to think about investing in a Bulletproof Vest if you havent already...

    Do I sound retarded ( I hope not...lol)? One hanging on the back of my chair as I type. Its hot today and Im in the building all day... But I will admit I need to be better about keeping my plate in the front carrier. Sometimes its just to bulky and hot to to be bothered...

    Bounty hunting has always caught my eye. I have all the right "tools", I do lots of skip trace work, and have the "fearless" mentality because of my current line of work. Maybe Ill come down there and visit you someday and run a few with ya! Just something entertaining about fucking up some shit bags night. Not to mention its always fun to have a little scuffle.

    I work for a repossession company that specializes in fraud cases, straw purchases, and general troublesome cases that deal with people other companies dont want to go after. Ive taken Escalades from big time crack dealers, Helicopter from a suspected money laundering ring, Harleys from Hells Angels and Outlaws, and we get the work that other companies cant handle or say they sent some other company after whatever, and it turns out dude is violent and kicked that repo guys ass.. Thats when they call me, and I get it done. Its an interesting line of work... Im moved up the ladder and am more of a mangerial position now, but I still mount up and go after the ones that think they are bad asses and put them in their place. Ive been shot at, stabbed, jumped 6 on 1, hit with a bat.. you name it. But I always come back with my clients collateral.

    Depends. I have several different weapons I like to carry, all depends on where and what Im doing along with the time of year, as clothing being worn dictates how easy it is to conceal the piece you want to carry, its much easier to lug around a full size 1911 or a 4 inch .357 in fall/winter when larger, heavier clothes/ jackets are worn. If its hot out and not wearing more than shorts and a t-shirt, things like the keltec p3at or my ultra light 38 snub disappear into a pocket or small of back rig very easy.

    Ammo/ caliber selection, you can ask 100 differnt guys and get 100 different answers. I feel that as long as you are staying .380 and above, with proper "defense" style ammo, you can't really go wrong. I've never seen anyone laugh off a .380 double tap to center mass.

    Weapon selection, I like guns. A lot. Owned/have owned many many guns. Biggest factor in deciding what pieces are ones I will trust my life to, boils down to shooting them a lot, knowing which I am more proficient with, and which ones work all the time. I run any possible canidate for defense through a fair amount of "testing" before I decide its good enough to save my ass if I ever need it. I am talking several hundred (500ish) rounds of bulk to check operation of weapon, then if the gun passes my scrutiny there, its on the running varied amounts of different defense ammo through it and checking group sizes and function of weapon to see what makes the gun happiest and works best for me.by the time I decide a weapon is ok to carry, it has in the neighborhood of 800 to 1000 rounds through it. And if by that time the gun has worked flawlessly, with no major malfs and hasnt shot itself loose, it goes in the rotation for defense use.

    I am not brand/caliber/ style loyal. I carry what I like and what I know will go bang everytime I pull the trigger, because I have run the gun through its paces, and "broken" it in, and ran more rounds through it just to see if it passes my criteria, than some people that buy a "defense" gun will put through it in the entire time they carry it.

    If you feel safe and trust your gun after 1 box of cheapo ammo, and then just grab a box of hollow points to have ready, so be it. Just not for me. I carry a piece when I need to, not because I want to. I carry it because if I need it, it had better save my ass. I carry because things go bump in the night, and IM sure as shit going to throw lead, not be stuck tap-racking and trying to clear a malf. Sometimes in my line of work, I go take things back from criminals, dope boys, convicted felons.. Just need to make sure it'll be a fair fight if things get shitty.

  9. Will my amp stay cool enough behind wall?

    like i said before i have'nt used relays all that much so i didnt give advice on what i dont know about....also if you look up youll see that someone already corrected me on that....

    Not to be a dick, but you did give advice on something you dont know about. You suggested he use the remote wire to power the fans, not a good idea.. That statement indicates you dont know what you are talking about. Hence dont suggest it. Theres more to electricity than the voltage slick. Have to account for things like amps drawn, by what is being powered etc. etc..

    the easiest way to power the fans that ive seen is simply tap into the amps remote

    Uh...NO. Not what thats for. dont give advice if you dont know what you talkin 'bout Willis! Use the remote to trip a relay, to turn them on when amps come on, but not to directly power the fans. Thats no bueno. Power the fans from the battery bank he will have right there.

    For an HD gun, shoot it a lot, know it well and run a bunch of different HD loads thru it, selecting the one that works best, some brands my group great in your gun, others, not so much. Pick what works best for your specific application. Can get kind of expensive doing it this way, but youll get the best results, and once you know what your gun likes best, just keep a box or 10 on hand and use Winchester white box or another similar cheap ammo for practice and fun.

  13. Proper BC2000d Set up

    Thats a lot of amp for a stock electrical system... more batteries are only a band aid as your alt wont be able to keep up with the draw and you will drain the extra batteries faster than you can recharge them.. so eventually after playing loud for a bit the voltage is gonna drop bad anyway.

    You get what you pay for typically Mikey... I'd recomend trying to save up at least a little more and maybe look at some other options, it'd be better for you in the long run, and allow you room to grow, but if you are dead set on it, it'll do what you need it too. If you dont have a lot of cash and want a good system, patience is a virtue.
