[QUOTE="sundownz, post: 7635917, member: 549523"] Not one of our current model Class-D amps is a "stock" board. All of the new 2012 models we are working on are customized to what we want as well -- we are currently finalizing the designs, will pay the tooling, and have a customized board produced as we did with the SAX-1200D, SAZ-1500D v.2, SAZ-2500D, SAZ-3500D, and NS-1 boards. In the distant past we've had amps based on stock board designs but things change. Of course I'm not sitting here laying out every resistor, re-inventing the driver boards, etc... there is no reason to do that when I am paying someone to do it for me and/or there is no need to fix aspects that aren't broken. But when I want to use, for example, 16x DFP70N06 power supply FETs, 8x FDA24N40 out FETs, four transformers of a specific size, output filters of a certain size, mount the FETs a certain way, secure the board a certain way, use a certain voltage capacitor, tool a new crossover section, tweak the voltage protection, utilize higher voltage regulators, design a new heat-sink, etc, etc that is something I am more than able to put into a custom board design. We are not being "handed" something that we had no say on what was to be put inside. And for reference... the 1000D board still exists and the older SAE style casing still exists. We recently made a special run of the SAZ-1000D for WoofersEtc.com -- we didn't stop making it because it wasn't available and we were being forced to "take what we are given"... we stopped making it because we had the SAX-1200D board designed around our goals and specifications to replace the 1000D model as the 1200D produces significantly more power per square inch.
