The price dropped $10 on the 900.4 and apparently all you cheap people bought them all. I went to the headquarters to pick one up and the floor was clean.
On the other hand I toured Epsilon and that place is massive. More electronics than I've ever seen.

It looks like I need to update my site. I ordered all the P900.4s I could get from my source and if PPI is out of them too we could all be in for a long wait.

Anyone have trouble with the set screws in the PPI?? One of mine just won't tighten anymore. I'm having some serious issues with my amps lately!! Hopefully it's just a stripped set screws b/c I don't know how to secure speakerwire in there without a set screw
With this and the small bulge in mine I'd just send it back to Sonic, but if they're on backorder...i'll wait

I have unscrewed/rescrewed my rear channels atleast 10 times in that past 2 weeks and I am not having any issue with my set screws. My local Lowes has a very nice selection of set screws and HD might as well. Try your local hardwear places if you want to get a new one. But with your overheating issue I would send it back in.

It might be they prefer burnt orange to red but who knows. Lol. No, I've had mine for 2 months and driven them pretty hard and they've never gotten more than Luke warm, but I have an easy 4 ohm load on the 2. I agree the screws are a pos. I thought about replacing them with torx head screws but right now every thing hold solid and I'm finally through tweaking.

spent some more time in neighbors truck over weekend. he pounded me out of the truck and neither of his were warm either.
if anyone has one getting hot it must be defective.

I figured out it's not the set screw. It's the terminal that is completely stripped

Yeah I'm with ya. No reason these should be that hot. Especially when my gains are not only at 1/2 with a 2ohm load and maybe 1/4 with a 4ohm load. I got an RMA from SonicElectronix. The guy was super nice and made it simple and easy to return it and have them do a return label for free.
...he said they just got P900.4's in and should be going up VERY soon. be ready to click "Add To Cart" lol

I'm looking at the 1000.1 and I'm not quite sure why some guys don't like this design. It looks like a chocolate bar, it's freaking adorable.
its adorable but it pounds the mess out of my buddies 2 polk MM 10's

I noticed on a link to another forum that you stated you rather get the HDP's??? What changed?
I am only asking because I would like to know what makes them 2-2.5 X the price of these PPI's and the soon to be released (hopefully) Tarantula Nano's. I know my opinion but I would like to hear yours and others.

You mean this:
"Thanks but I think I'll go for the Hertz, the logo is backlit and I can rotate it."
I'm still trying to figure out if the endcaps are conductive. Will a screwdriver between the power terminal and the endcap creat a short? Honestly I haven't done anything than pull them out of the box and look at them but I figured someone else who already installed them would have the answer.

As far as i know, no, but i always trip my breaker before touching them, and use a small flat tip, works for me.

Has anyone seen the Arc Audio xdi amp line yet? Arc Audio states right in each amps description that they use Philips chips. The sizes are similar @ 6.5"w x 2"h x X"L for similar channel/power models. The wattages are different to some degree and they have a few extra and a missing amp in the line up. RCA's and x-over sections look different. I am wondering if Arc designed their own boards for the use of the same chips???
I would think that all these early arrivals were made with as little of each companies own parts and R&D just to be able to get out to market faster. I would hope that they are already working on engineering their own amps centered around these chips. Perhaps Arc has already done this without the need to be the first ones to market. Or pehaps not.

Arc has not designed any of their boards, prob ever. They are all prob Zeff designs still.
So you are suggesting that either Zeff designed new boards based on the Philips chips or that Arc too, is using the same boards as the Phantoms, Polks, Hertz and SS's?
JBL has jumped into the miin-amplifier war with a new GTO-EZ series. They are on the Harman site but, not the regular JBL car audio site. Sonic has them right now. Looks like they have a 5 channel that mixes a/b and class D topology. Pretty smart really. Don't like the x-over controls on the front/top of the amp though.
