CADENCE ZRS-8000D what do yall know about this particular amp past or present history. I know their old stuff was the sh@t but how are they so far as quality now? I see them for about 600 shipped and its strappable @ 2ohm plus its not a bad looking amp. Wanted to run 2 fully loaded btl12s in my Thunderbird tuned to 32hz. Wanna totally seal off the enclosure to the cabin as well. Trying to make a nice GP.

As far as I remember, the Daytona series is the only one that does rated+ power. The ZRS puts out rated power under nominal circumstances.. but when does that happen in a car?

Watch that, i am angry at Cadence for what they did.

When they first released the ZRS-8, 9 and 10, i bought the ZRS-10 rwated at 2,500wrms @1ohm monsterous lookin amp.

I got it in and nothin told me what size fuse to use so i called up Cadence and asked them what to use...

They told me the ZRS-10 is required to never use a fuse larger than 130A. I asked them again because i thought they misunderstood and they persisted in telling me again. I was somewhat angry with them and asked them how i was gonna get that kind of power out of the amp and they said i would... full of crap power...

the best testing i ever got out of that amp was 1,300w full clipping. Just a hair over 1,000w no clipping at 1.6 ohms.

Rated at 1,500w @2ohms.....

I no longer trust them anymore and they pulled that line quick i seen.

thanks for the info I'll probably end of with some US Merlins then. I was trying to make up my mind between the ZRS or the Merlin and Ive never once heard anything bad about the Merlin....so think U guys may have just pointed me in the right dirrection.
