Bigsix Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 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?

White Lightning Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Zapco makes a great product ... you should be happy with this if it works properly being used ...

Bigsix Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 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?

White Lightning Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Sounds great to me ... but I would try to overlap some if possible ... I run my tweeters down to almost 2000 htz ... and those 8s should be good down to 40 htz (my 6.5s play full range all of the time with no problems) ... Just my suggestion ...

Bigsix Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 thanks for your input cableguy.. how much would you recommend over lapping the speakers? Keep in mind my speakers are most likely nowhere near as nice as what you are running... I have had my 8's playing down to 50hz with no issues... so Ill see how they like 40hz. What would you recommend as a good "base line" for setting all my crossovers at, with a decent overlap ? The doors are using a 3 way, Oxygen air 83 comp set... I might be looking at some different tweets tho, I want to see if going active makes me happy with their sound, at this point Im not sure if its the tweets, or the passive crossover that makes me not like their sound. I like my tweets to be on the bright side of things.

White Lightning Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 All I can say is test and tweek ... there is no one "end all be all" setting to a great stereo ... I'm always tweeking on mine ... and I'm just 2 way passive on my front stage with a center ...

Bigsix Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Ill see if I can find it again.. I havent updated it in a long time so its probably 20 pages back by now and I have changed things around a few times, and changed my mind even more, so the log is way behind... I might as well just start a new one once I get moving on it again. Its a '99 Town Car, nothing special..250amp alt, couple runs of zero, Kinetic 2400, little bit of glass work on the doors, had SA 12's in it, then went to a Z series 18 on a DAT 2500.1, the DAT cooked itself, and I decided I wanted my trunk back, so Im in the midst of a minor tear down.. Ill be running one 12 on about 1500 watts once I get around to buying some more MDF and a new sub stage amp... Not an all out SPL ride, nor a true SQ build, just a kinda loud clean sounding daily driver.
