Need new amp will 2 gladius work?

[Mino 2]

Ok im in the market for a new amp... i was running a Zapco 360.4 but that was recently stolen so ive decided to try something new... i wanted the Draconia but from what i hear its going to be a LONG time before they are available again... my question is will 2 gladius work the same as 1 draconia in an active setup?

if so:

WTB x2 Gladius w/ BB chipset, but preferably 1 Draconia w/ BB (i know its a long shot but some1 maybe willing to part with one lol)

i posted WTB here since i cant in sell/wanted

I am considering this same set up, but I could run into a space issue. ZED amps are availble on the shop here, and you will be able to post a topic in the classified section in a few more posts.

yea id rather do just the single draconia since its going in the back of my little Integra but it only measures about 12"x3' so its not to bad... my plan is to build a vertical amp rack housing 3 amps with about a 45 degree angle on the amp positions that way i save a little room

anywho how would i wire the 2 gladius though? one component set per amp or tweet on one and mid on the second?

If you were going active, the tweets would be on one amplifier and the mids on the other.

awesome thanks for the help im ordering them a week from now i should have more funds by then... plus thatll give me more time to find a draconia haha

You will love the Gladius w/ BB they sound amazing. I am sure you could fit them in your trunk if you are creative. Good luck in finding a draconia I have been wanting one for a while but they are rather scarce at this time. I am sure if you offer the right amount someone will sell. Have an awesome Day. Z

yea i saw ur sig zedman i was about to pm u on how ur running ur comps off those gladiuses im guessing u have it passive on ur comps? the only thing that im a little nervous about is the headroom i would have cause the specs say 75w rms @ 4 ohms but i deff know they are underrated, but not sure on how much that would be think im just gonna say screw it n order them tomorrow or something and another p880prs proll cost me round $800ish for everything plus all the install hardware... im just totally bummed out, my ipod cant cut it for me... blah wish there was some1 in houston that would help me w/ the creativity part of the install... ha, ive been debating on whether i should do a false floor or not n cover it w. plexiglass or just a basic amp rack nothing too flashy... i should be building a new sub box tuned to 33hz by sunday

The Gladius is said to typically put out 95 whats per channel. If you set them properly you will be fine. I run active using the amplifiers crossovers I have been very happy with it so far. If you are wanting to use your Ipod why not check out the Alpine deck that controls the IPOD? The model is Alpine iDA-X001 that would be nice as well. What type of car are you putting it all in?

lol no i meant i all i have to listen to know is my ipod and ear buds when im driving.... its going in to a 2000 acura integra the trunk is pretty decent i never have use for it unless i buy groceries but thats not very often... i think im still going to stay with the p880prs i love that deck very solid... yea im going to go active just a 2way setup the reason why i want a draconia is b/c my tweets dont draw that much power, but i guess 2 glads will give me headroom to upgrade later on down the road... i waiting to hear back from either denim or ssaudio about pricing for 2 glads and the new deck if its reasonable ill go ahead in order it...

[Mino 2]

Woot!! 3-4 more days until i receive my Glads... excited

[Mino 2]

Look forward to pix!!! But there are no more miniliths left.

If you had a 4 ohm load you could use a Deuce instead if you still wanted ZED.
