Re: Flared round vs Slotted ports

and the best way to found out......

build both boxes and listen to both......

make sure they are exactly calculated......

I have always heard, in sounding it will not make so much difference,

but when the length is extremely long, it is better to go for a slot port.......

Re: ZX >--< ZXv2

i have a zx350 V1, zx 450 V2 and zx 500 V2. all black colors.... i played loud with it for almost 10 years. the first one to shut down in hot summer, was the zx 450 V2. With my zx350 V1 i never had problems. Only my zx 500 V2 had issues one day, it seems to be in the crossoverprint. After placing a ...

Re: Today I bought a ZPA !

I'll try to help him out with it the moment he jumps in his car and drives with the amp to me !! the pics are like on the ebay auction, so that's what it is.... repowdercoated or painted it will look like new for sure. that is not the point. a broken or mint plexi has nothing to do with the working ...

Re: Today I bought a ZPA !

If you have already a ms275 and a ms2125, they also have to be recapped as well. the zpa and ms series have the same ps caps, so with your current amps you risk the same of having them caught fire as well. the 2125 has also 12 caps, the 275 has 3 caps, the zpa0.5 has 12. So you will need 27 caps. I ...

Re: Today I bought a ZPA !

the reason i said about checking the pcb for little copper wires is, i had it happened myself with one amp , so smoke came out of it, and i found one little wire making a short on two print lanes around the output transistors........ I still have no update about it, lucky it was one of my 'reserve a...

Re: Today I bought a ZPA !

I have followed this auction on ebay also, and on the pics i saw that 2 of the twelve ps caps were replaced !! So that was something i didn't like/understand why they weren't all replaced ?? It is indeed a fact, replace them all before you power it up, or you risk to have it gone up in fire !!!! And...

It is not really so important, i don't have those subs at the moment, it was just worth the question.

anyway thank you for responding, sir.

Re: Any info on the old school pg xmax subs?

Good subwoofer for sure. Is it a V1 or V2 version ? If you can collect in person, check the stand of the conus in rest. If the spider(yellow part) "falls down" into the magnet, it has pounded really hard. I had the luck to find 4x 12 inch in good condition years ago, but last year i could ...
