Ti Elite & ZPA Set-Up

bhavp21 · Post by **bhavp21** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 6:10 am

Hi Ive got the following in my set-up:

Alpine DVA9965 head-unit
Alpine PXA H701
Alpine RUX C701
2 x ZPA 0.5 amps
1 x ZPA 0.3 amp
1 x Ti 951 Elite speakers & 1 x Ti X-over
1 x Ti 12d Elite sub
1 x BassCube
1 x TLD66
1 x TD5
1 x DB34 distribution block
1 x BBKF34 fuse block

Im aiming to have the 0.3 running the Ti 51 Elites, 1 0.5 running the Ti 9 Elites and 1 0.5 running the Ti 12d Elite sub. Have i got everything i need to make this set-up work? will everything be safe? Is there anything i need to know? Any recommendations? Any if's or but's?

That system should rock. It looks like you have everything accounted for. The only thing I would question is how much output you want on the sub, as the Ti12d Elite is a power hungry beast, I know the 0.5 when loaded down is a force to be reckoned with however the load the sub will present may not be low enough to get the power needed from that amp to match to the rest of the system. However some adjustments can be made to compensate at the line level such as lowering the main channels to balance to the sub.

Some others here I am sure have run the 0.5 on a Ti12d Elite with good results and may be able to provide a better outlook in regard to my suspicions as I have never run that combination.

i would cut the diodes on the rail reg, run two 0.5s on that thing
buy a high output alterntor and two kinetic 2400 batteries

run the 0.3 on the mids and another one on the componants.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwwwwww.

i ran one zpa 0.5 on my elite sub and it did the job but i know it has more.

cool system though

i like it.

Make sure w/3 ZPAs that your electrical system is up to par. Those amps are going to eat every nano-amper that your batteries/alt will dish out.

That should sound pretty sweet.

I would do the system like this:

ZPA 0.5 - Elite 5 System
ZPA 0.3 - Elite 9m Midbass
ZPA 0.5 - Elite 12d (Clip two diodes to disable switching supply)

For maximum dynamic headroom you are better off putting 0.5 on your Elite 5's, you just won't hear a big difference between a 0.3 and 0.5 on the 9m's.

Should be a pretty wicked system, make sure you have enough electrical system to feed it.

Also its no secret ZPA's are like Ferrari. Fun to play with, unbelievable performance but they spend a lot time in the shop and are expensive to repair.

Sould i take the ).3 out of my set-up and run it with 3 0.5s (as i have 1 0.5 spare)?

Up to you, but unlikely you will hear any difference. You will already have so much headroom.
