SD amps are nice however they don't have ***** thus ur gonna need a DSP to get the best results from that amp.

I'm assuming u don't have fairing pods thus the NVX MVP4, Taraamp, JL 280x4, and GZ Mirco 4 will all fit in the fairing on the clutch side mounted vertically.

The best damn amp of all of those for that location is the Ground Zero GZ Micro 4 (250 x 2 @ 4 bridged) but their USA rep is either no longer or is completely worthless thus very hard to get their products in the USA.

He is no longer with the company.

I hung out with owner of GZ USA and mentioned to him these amps. They are phasing in GZ products little by little and not importing the entire line. This amp didn't make the cut. My guess is if you guys really wanted this amp, and I'd say could get a group purchase of 10 or so, he'd ship me a box on their next import. Something to consider.

If the "owner" of Ground Zero USA makes it that difficult to access the GZ product line I would punt on first down and find a different amp. I can only imagine the train wreck that would occur for any warranty or product support issues.

This really ain't rocket science dude, but let me toss this out there as a little IQ test / scenario.

We got a dude that wants an amp but another dude with a couple different business aliases wants to sell ten amps to 10 dudes that might want this specific amp from another dude that claims to be an "owner" of a business that no dude can find on anything other than some dudes FB Fan Page site who may or may not be a dude.
So when the 10 dudes get one dude the $3500 to place the order from the so called GZ USA owner dude who reaches out to the German GZ dudes who in turn find a container ship dude to coordinate when the next cargo ship dudes will cross the Atlantic, when can the 10 dudes expect to get their amps?

Considering all of these dudes and zero formal business structure for GZ USA, what dude is responsible for and what is the warranty process for the 10 dudes?

Really dude, thanks for trying to help these dudes out. But I'm thinking these dudes will find suitable products that the brown truck dude or a local audio dude than can provide in just a few days versus months.

So do I really know it all or does this basic IQ scenario without question lead to punting on first down regarding that availability of the GZ Micro 4 in the USA.

Just sayin dude!!!!

Yup! you have all the answers my friend.

I woulda given you guys the amps at cost. I don't sell them, and I don't use them on my builds. This was a friendly offer for the guys who wanted them but can't get it because Brandon is no longer with the company (I think that was his name). I have a truck load of GZ gear at my shop that was given to me by the owner of GZ USA to test out, I'm also building an entire GZ bike for them for a show. I don't need to make any of this up.

Lighten up man....you are the one who mentioned the amp in this thread not me.

I'll tell you what. I also have a box of GZ hats, lanyards, and wristbands. I'll send you some promo stuff

It's an IQ test brother. We don't need stuff at cost in an attempt to make up for business inequities. We need timely, reliable and quality stuff that manufactures and vendors will provide and also stand behind in a moments notice. If GZ cannot provide that the nothing to see here, moving on.

BTW, I already have a GZ on the sled, another one new in the box and the swag. But if u can get a GZ parking lot chair, now that would be way cool.

Dude you've got to be kidding me, at cost, no way!!! I know you'll mark them up like you did when you were selling the DD AW's. You made some damn good cash on every set you sold, so I wouldn't expect anything less than your normal markup when you try to help others out. I thought you weren't suppose to be selling audio gear on your account. Whew, I feel better.....

I'm not sure why this pissing match is still going on, but good Lord can everyone get along! Why wouldn't you mark up a product in high demand? Isn' that how you run a lucrative business? From personal experience I've posted multiple questions on what to buy, and More often then not Alex replies with helpful options. Even if it something he doesn't stock. As for the three sysrems ive ordered, his price wasn' touched by the rest of the sneaky DM dealers on here not willing to be sponsors. I hope the OP find the perfect amp, and his system rips! Good luck with your search.
