Crunch amps. They aren't that clean and are overrated. Kinda like audiobahn. I wouldn't pay much for them. That said, I had a 1996 series crunch amp and it still worked when I ebayed it a few months ago. ------------- New Project: 2003 Pathfinder

Ok i bought the amps, One is, The crunch 150 and the other is, The crunch 100, How do i know if they are zed made? Also got an older hi fonics mercury 40 watter, i assume all three amps are from the same time frame. Any help here would be great!

So what r you saying? The crunch made by zed audio was crap? I picked them up for 100 bucks for the three of them so i think i didn't pay too much,lol The 150 and the 100 are fairly large to only be 150 and 100 watts? Could they be true ratings? So will i have to look at the board inside to see if there is the ZED name somewere?

C'mon i know theres some old school installers on this site, The models of the crunch amps are CR150 and CR100. They are fair size and are pretty heavy.

I think I still have a crunch 150 on duty, running the components in my wife’s suby. I'll take a look when she gets home. If you have the 150 and the 100 you could put together a simple system. Using the 150 bridged to run the sub and the 100 to run your components. That series was all made to meet end to end, to create a seamless look and the controls are top mounted so it could look cool. Got any pictures? I think the manual covered several models, so if its the one maybe I will try to dig it up for you, i keep all my documentation : )

I'll have a digi cam to take pics tommorrow I could use some kinda help with the colour coding of the speaker wires though. Aso wondering if a 2 ohm bridge would be safe, i doubt it myself but you never know? Do you know if this series is made or desighned by steve mantz? Zed audio? Oh i found this while lookinghttps://www.rodek.com/ Does that mean there makin them again? They look pretty sweet!

These amps arent the end to end design like you mentioned, They have the controls in the usual spots, havent got my cam back yet so no pics yet. Any thoughts on the wiring schematics? Anyone?
