Why does this sellers name look familar. Also do yall think this is a good deal? Im thinking about getting this cause Ive noticed its hard trying to find the black zx500, I want one to match my black zx450 I got from randy and the ZPA 0.5 I have. Whata guys think. Ive heard they have better SQ then my Ti600.2?? But I know there are opinions out there but just are the zx and zx/ti line just built better then the Ti line. Thanx in advance guys.

hmmmmm....exercise caution is all I can say. I know that some folks swear he has done them right ..... but then there are the lot who he has fucked in one fashion or another.....the black zx's are sexy....

There have been quite a few bad deals from him, but not every one. I have been lucky, and I know some others too have been. It is normally his Crazy prizes that scare people away.

I'd buy the friggin' amp if I needed it. Black ones are rare, and do seldom come by.

I've had good expierenc ein the past with him
that was before I knew this bunch of people here (official phoenix, then SB forum, now here) existed
Still, he gets a lot of nice stuff that I'd like to buy and have been tempted to in the past

If you feel you need it and the price is right, go for it, as Pedi said
but be cautious as he doesn't always advertise his items as they really are
BNIB means used but mint condition and so on ...

and if you need a maching 4 channel this guy has been trying to sell his forever http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/el ... 81739.html
And i think a phorum member had a 4 channel for sale awhile ago as well?

I always liked the black zx amps...

I want both of those for a future install. It's something I've had in mind for about 2 years now, but as w/everyone else, I'm broke.

That's actually a good price for the 500 in Black, esp from JOMA!. I see white 500s go for about $250 + Shipping and being that the Black ones are the LE versions...

By LE I assume you mean that most people got white, it is not like they had LE status from pg?

I will let you know how it goes for me I just took a chance on a 2125 from him....... from all the pics everything looks good ... Ill know more in a few days

was it the one on ebay...I could have hooked you up with a fully restored one as I've got 3 I am working on or are on the way now...I can't used all of em

Let me know how it goes...he has had a few amps I wanted to buy but I am not the type to just lick my balls and bitch if someone really shamelessly fucks me over so I just never took the chance....but myself in the shame on me for knowing thing too....

but He has always done solid transactions with Pedi and a few others though...Hope it goes ok for you gx3

Wash.....thanx for the tip. But I have a Mint black ZX450v2 I got from randy. I want a Black ZX500v2 for my RSdC 12. Im using a Ti600.2 for it now. But I want a Zx500v2 for it cause they still have the gold board, larger caps and more power supply caps than the Ti line and ZxTi lines. The reason I say that is cause Ive physically compared a few models of equal power and they (ZX) are built different then the Ti and ZxTi lines. Plus I want a matching set

. But I think Im gonna pass on Joma's deal because of what Ive heard and him being banned from here. Well if anyone has a Black Zx500v2 in good to great condition. Please PM me. Oh I appreciate everyone's advice on this situation.

I can most likely get one for you .................. it needs a new speaker terminal . the far left contact is broken off. I know the history of this amp 100% it was installed in my best friends lowrider new by a PG dealer back in the day................... he pulled it once the car died and it sat for years until I bought it from him and resold it to a work buddy here in Michigan both the 450 and 500. I built him a custom floor fan cooled amp rack a year and a half ago........ He could care less about the PG name he just wants his truck to "bump" he may be up for a trade over cash ................. have any 5-600w class Ds to get rid of ............ I would much rather see this amp with a "PG guy" LMK what you think

GX3 · Post by **GX3** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 4:26 pm

the caps will most likely need to be done

knightrider358 · Post by **knightrider358** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 5:21 pm

I just have a Ti600.2 for sale or cash for it. Pretty much what brands of 500-600w class d's r u lookin for, I might be able to come up with something. If you could get a pic of the 500 I might be really interested. Thanx GX3

I talked to him jst after I posted that and he would be up for a trade. He just want something of equal power or better and same quality qx, rsd, would be options other brands as well ..... The amp is clean ( as far as I remember but I will see him at some point this week I will get pics then for you

Sort of. The Black ZX amps weren't produced to the numbers that the White ones were, vise versa for the ZPA's. Say something like... for every 10 White ZX's made, 1 Black ZX was made, for every 10 Black ZPA's made, 1 White ZPA was made.

Not LE in terms of the R66, Octane, SOFA .....
