Old school Hifonics Zeus Amp help ?!


Recommended Posts

So a buddy of mine has this old school zues amp that weighs at least 25 pounds. It says 650 watts, but I'm sure it does at least 1000 or 1200. But here's the problem. APPARANTLY There is a little card that goes into the bottom of the amp, that switches it to mono, or another side switches it to stereo, so on, bla bla. Now, he doesn't have said card. NOR can he find one. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of it. But does anyone know what I'm talking about or does anyone know where to find one ? It's like a 1980s amp. Thank you !

Seeing as it is a old ass amp, and says that it does 650 watts. Most amps can barely do what they say they can. what makes you think this one will do 2x what it says it can.

The old school Hifonics Zeus Class AB was (and still is!) a Legend. The amp was rated for 600-ish watts RMS (into 4) but made over 900 at (2 Ohms). That only tells half the story though.

If you're ever able to hook that bad boy up to a good efficient set of subs, you will see what I mean!

Can you take pics of the amp and the card slot please? I have a friend with two working Zeus and one blown one...

Yeah, I can try. If not today, tomorrow. But do you know what I mean about the card slot ? Like do you know where to find said card or even what it's called ?
