A New Standard In Sound Quality - zapco Z-150.2 SP Owner's Manual

A new standard in Sound Quality

Congratulations, on the purchase of your new Zapco Z-Series SP amplifier.
We believe you now have the finest sound available in a car sound amplifier, and
we think you should know a little bit about what makes this amp unique in a
world of so many so-so products.
The birth of the Zapco SP amplifiers
In 2012 Zapco introduced the new Z-Series of SQ amps. These amps were not
conceived so much by our engineers, as by input from audiophiles and car
sound fanatics around the world. Starting about 2004, at Zapco training
seminars in Asia and in the EU, we began running into audiophiles who were
changing certain internal components in our amplifiers to achieve what they
felt was better quality sound.
With that in our minds, we developed the Z-Series amps with less measuring
and more listening. So for the Z-Series of Zapco amplifiers, we experimented
with internal components and new circuits to see if we could take our amps to
the next level of sound quality by investing in different internal components
and circuit designs.
The resulting Z-series and eventually the Z-series LX amps were the results of
this unique development method. These amps have been virtually unbeatable
on the Car Sound Competition circuit.
But amplifiers designed solely for sound quality run warm, and on "the street",
cruising the boulevard, or at the park with the doors open and the system
cranked full on, these amps could be driven into protection.
How do we get Z-Series sound in an amplifier for full-on, full-time cranking?
We couldn't! It wouldn't work without a much bigger chassis or a sacrifice in
sound quality. So we had to find a new way to build the amps.
And we did! The Z-150.2 SP and Z-400.2 SP stereo amps, Z-150.4 SP
4-Channel amp and the 6-Channel Z-150.6 SP are the Zapco SP, or Super
Power, amplifiers.
