ZAPCO?!?!?

Ghetto or damn good? I heard of them from ebay of course, and unlike pyramid (known crap) thier amps are expensive as hell. usually that means thier better, but i just want to know if anyone has one. also, it seems like i saw on this board that Earthquake was crap, but some guy is selling his caviler all decked out in earthquake like you usually see with eclipse, or PPI, or MTX etc...

The Zapco Studio line is among the top amp lines out there. Good stuff.

I agree with GndPrx. Zapco makes extremely high quality amps. They've been around the sound-off circuit for years. Their amps are low-Ohm stable, and produce great power.
I have to question your comment about Earthquake being crap. The PH-D2 amp has been the driving force behind most of the winners of dB Drag events, at least in my area. At an underrated 2000W RMS @ 2 Ohm, it isn't surprising though!
