Thank you for purchasing the Z600C2-SL.
The Z600C2-SL is a no compromise stereo amplifier
conservatively rated at 150 watts per channel into four
ohms, 325 watts per channel into 2 ohms, and 400 watts per
channel into a one ohm load.
The fully regulated power supply in the Z600C2-SL is a new
design that dramatically increases power and efficiency.
New Gate Drive Boost circuitry greatly improves the
MOSFET switching performance and allows for cooler
operation. The Z600 C2-SL is the perfectionist’s no
compromise amplifier as evidenced by such features as its
four layer PC board, and twenty four power devices.

Power Connections
Use # 8 gauge or heavier stranded wire for both power and
ground connections.
Although the amplifier is fused on the endplate, an
additional 100 ampere fuse must be placed in line within
12” of the battery. Failure to install this additional fuse will
cause smoke or fire if this wire is shorted to the chassis.
Make this connection directly to the battery.
Make the ground (12V-) connection directly to the car
chassis. Do not share this connection with other equipment.
The power terminals are designed for bare, stranded wire.
Do not solder tin these connections! Solder tinned
connections compress after a few weeks, resulting in a poor
connection.

Signal Connections
Note:
Keep the fan on the bottom plate clear from obstruction.
When operating in bridged mode, the amplifier is driven by
the left input.

Installation
Careful thought and planning is essential when installing
any piece of equipment in your vehicle. To ensure proper
operation and maximum performance of your amplifier,
ZAPCO recommends that the installation be performed by a
ZAPCO authorized dealer. If this service is unavailable to
you, or you wish to do your own installation, the following
guidelines must be followed.
MOUNTING
Always select a dry location in the trunk or passenger
compartment only. This unit must be securely fastened to a
solid surface. Consideration must be given to air flow for
proper heat dissipation.
8
POWER
A #8 gauge or larger wire should be used for power and
ground connections. A fuse must be installed on the power
wire within 18 inches of the battery for safety reasons. The
size of this fuse will vary depending on the system
configuration. The ground wire should be connected directly
to the chassis of the vehicle. This ground point should be
clean and sanded to bare metal.
Never use seat or seatbelt bolts for grounding!
If you have any questions regarding proper use or
installation of this component, please consult your local
authorized ZAPCO dealer. The safety of your equipment
and your vehicle could depend on proper installation. If you
do not have a local dealer, please contact ZAPCO directly at
(209) 577-4268 between 9 am and 5 pm Pacific time, and
we will be glad to assist you.

Why Use the Balanced
SymbiLink™ System?
RCA style unbalanced cables have the following
disadvantages:
1) Magnetic & electrostatic pickup.
Noise and audio distortion can be induced into the
cable because the cable shield is also the audio (-)
connection.
2) Unbalanced cables are typically driven into very high
impedances, causing transient ringing. (See the
drawing, below)
