ZAPCO C2K-3.0X - 30 Years of Perfecting Class AB Design

摘要

Zapco has reached a milestone that not many car audio manufacturers can claim. They have been building car audio products for 30 years strong and have been doing so while keeping the highest standards, Their product today is no exception. Rated at a modest 2 × 75 watts, the C2K-3.0X from Zapco is a "normal" amplifier; that is, a Class AB with a regulated power supply. It uses the Zapco's proprietary SymbiLink adapters to convert your head unit's RCA cables to a multi-pin cable that resembles an S-video cable, which then plugs into the amplifier, All of the tests were done with the basic SymbiLink adapter rather than the available line driver so that we're just looking at the amp itself here. The 3,0 is a very industrial-looking amplifier with oa semi-metallic charcoal powder-coated extrusion broken up by silver-colored aluminum trim strips, By removing an end panel, the installer can slide the aluminum trim strips out for an entirely black look; customize the amp by painting or replacing the strips with laminate material; or choose one of many material options from Zapco, The "U"-shaped extrusion is built in the classic style with the pc board mounted "upside-down" in the top of the sink and closed with sheet metal endplates and bottom cover, Topping off the amp is a nice billet aluminum "30 Years" oval badge centered on the top.
