Just scored this...

[vwdude]

So I got all of this for $80 shipped. Good deal? And no, it's not for sale. If I let anything go from it I already have someone interested in the stuff that I'd consider letting go of.



A little more details...






Those cables alone I would have paid $80 for as I have 4 cables. Two are new in package and two are used but look great. The RMD is brand new in the box, and the ZBS4 is something that I had heard about but never knew of one for sale. TBAt I have a black one already but I got it for free because it was blown. I've been repairing it. It now I have a board to swap in if my repairs don't work.

good deal.

[Weaklink]

Nice. I think that's the rmd that works with the octane.

[ttocs]

your thinking of the SDT. That is different, this is just the standard rmt.

[Weaklink]

Man it's hard to remember the display that goes to the amp. There are too many.

[vwdude]

What's the sdt? Any pictures?

I just like having an older rmd NIB for my collection. I doubt I'll use it.

Oh and here's a better picture of the balanced splitter.

What is the ZMX? I know the other 2 series amps that the rmd works with but not that line.



And I just scored this off eBay. Depending on it's condition I might not update it to v2, I might just replace the bad resistor and it's caps and see how it sounds. It appears like it might have the crossover card in it. I can't wait to see more as the seller never added more pictures.

I think it would look great in my car paired with a green terroid zpa0.5.

There wasn't one specifically for the octane but the r-link/sdt would hook into it. The display was made by Dakota digital and would tell the ti amps thermal status as well. I don't have a pic on me at the moment but I have an extra sdt/r-link combo if someone is looking for one.

The other piece is just a splitter for the balanced cables.

[vwdude]

Yup, just a splitter, but I still don't see them too often. I don't really see a use for it unless someone plans to use it after a crossover to run multiple amps for one frequency range. I guess it could also be used before he crossover to run multiple crossovers but then that just seems like a crazy system...a 6 way system or more.

[ttocs]

if your running balanced outputs, with out it you would need a transmitter for each rca you wanted to switch to balanced.

[vwdude]

I kind of get it but not really. What other amps take that balanced input? The ZPA amps are the only ones I know of with that plug, and they don't have a crossover in them, so you would need a crossover, correct? The splitter has 1 input and 4 outputs, but the zpx2 has 1 input and 3 outputs, I guess I don't see the scenario where your need the splitter unless you ran the crossover cards in the ZPAs (which I understand failed often) or you used another amp that has a built in crossover.

[ttocs]

the zpa's are the only amp I know of that used it. Been a long time since I messed with one but I thought they had the cross over cards or rnets can't remember really. Not many people used the balanced stuff so it didn't last long.

[vwdude]

They had crossover cards but I understand that they had lots of problems. The crossover cards are so rare, I have not gotten my hands on one, all of he ZPAs that I have came with the delete cards, so no built in crossover. I also see that the zpx2 crossovers are rare (balanced active crossovers) so I agree that people don't use the balanced much.

I think the ZBS4 was made thinking people would use balanced a lot more, but in reality I doubt many were sold. I haven't seen or heard of any before this. I am just trying to get all of the products that PG offered around the ZPA amps, despite how useless or rare they are.
