ZEUS 25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION

HIGH PERFORMANCE AMPLIFIERS

                             INDEX                                                  PAGE

As Hifonics celebrates it’s 25th anniversary of producing the finest high end car audio products available, we 

would like to thank you for your continued support.

The Zeus ZXi Series products have been designed to a very high level of performance, with features unavailable in 

any other product. All of the amplifiers have variable crossovers built in, with added touches such as subsonic 

filter, bass equalization and a remote bass control module(some models) that allows subsonic bass control from 

the drivers seat.

To ensure years of listening pleasure, all amplifiers have a built in diagnostic mode that will detect shorted speaker 

leads, low impedance, dangerous high temperatures, DC shorts and will shut down the amp to prevent serious 

damage.
