ZPA0.5v2

0.5= 12 ceramic resistors (you can see them along the top left of the amp board)
v2= 7 fins on the fan blades.

The ZPA amps had an issue with stray copper strands coming through the power connectors when they first came out. The holes for the 4ga wire were bored through the connector, allowing the strands to enter the amp. The newer connectors were closed on the back, not allowing stray strands to enter the amp.

Yeah I thought so, I didnt get one then because of that, didnt like the idea of spending that much dough to turn around and send it back for repairs. I definately would like to get one now to power my subs though.(two 12 inch Ultimate T3DVC's)

$100 plus S&H :lol:

Depending on the price, go for it. If in fact "BNIB" $4-500 would be a good price.
