Now I have to make a new mounting plate and figure out how to position it around my air line to my air ride pressure gauge. Oh and like most "ZED" amps it is supposedly close to 25% underrated!!!

Where did you order it from? I tried calling the number on the ZED website but got a disconnected message.

Its a powerful little amp. Just like the b2 and the microv2. I just want something more warm sounding and trying new things. I may sell the Image Dynamics when I get the ZED in. Again it is a good little amp but if I buy some $600 BT 7.1 pros, or some Focal, or something real high end down the road I wanted a cleaner amp. The Image Dynamics is perfect for Arc 602's and speakers that crave power and be loud.

I got the last one a dealer called vertex audio had. A place called sound solutions says they have them or here is a open box one. The guy came down to 236 for me plus shipping but I got mine from the dealer for that. Offer $225 and I bet he will take it. The dealer I talked to said Steve is so busy designing amps for places he really doesn't focus on the business much right now. That's why they don't make these anymore. They are stout and very great sounding American made amps but he chose a different path I guess. I think he still has the other lines but they may be imported?
