Re: Feeler MS/MPS heatsinks

Hi folks :) I just want to know how big the need for MS style heatsinks are. Cut into known sizes and also custom cuts, and what you think is a fair price for a raw heatsink ready to PC, paint and so on. Plug and play style. Please let me know the need :) Regards Nils Jørgen Id be interested in one...

Re: POWER

For my Mustangs I use a company called PA Performance... http://www.paperformance.com/Scripts/default.asp They make some great alternators... I have the 200 amp in my ZPA setup, seems to hold voltage at whatever stereo output while moving, now at idle it'll dip a little if its cranked up, but that's...

Re: setting gains to match sub

Set the db gain to about 4, and turn the volume at the loudness you think will be all the way up, turn the gain up slowly till the sub starts to go pop pop pop, and back it down a jiggle. :clap: done and done, no need for silly o scope nonsense, that's for ballers... :lol:

Re: CHANGE your CAPS!!!!!!!! RIP ZPA inside...

I thought the power core did not charge up till the remote was turned on? The caps look like they barely heated up enough to even char the shrink wrap around them. Now those power terminals, those were more then a tad bit warm.... I don't think the power terminals were loose because you can still s...

Re: CHANGE your CAPS!!!!!!!! RIP ZPA inside...

This is certainly a cap failure. Strokd's description of the event only helps reinforce this. It sounds like the amp has been idle for a while (w/power disconnected) and then the amp burns up only after power has been applied via the breaker. If these caps have been leaking (which they are well kno...

Re: CHANGE your CAPS!!!!!!!! RIP ZPA inside...

these do not have fuses in them right? I would assume you didn't fuse the amp individually directly infront of the amp, what was the fuse in the front rated at? Circuit breaker is a 200 amp. Each of the amps has an inline fuse after the powercore about a foot from the end of the power terminal on t...

I worked in a shop in 95 too and we sold MS and M gear... Sold my friend a Route 66 in 96. I think the ZPAs were made along side the wh...

How would it come loose? It was extremey tight. The amp was never turned on when it did this... Remote power was not turned on through the radio... Don't see anything possible but the caps failing.

Re: CHANGE your CAPS!!!!!!!! RIP ZPA inside...

Let this be a lesson to those who think "O, my caps look fine" or "I slid a piece of paper under the cap and there was no fluid, so they are good". THEY ARE NOT GOOD! Your amp WILL fail if it is of this age, and is PG, and you have not had the caps replaced. As for this ZPA, yes...
