Pair of 900.7's is what I'm doing. Plus an 800.1 for beefy sub goodness..

The new tiny waterproof amps are being marketed as "powersports amplifiers". Seems these are designed for UTV's and motorcycles.
Being loud without good sound quality is pointless, but having good sound quality without being loud is also pointless.

there has been a pretty big call from the bike crowd with the baggers coming into style and suddenly there is enough space for a small, and sometimes even large systems in them. Bluetooth amps like this are perfect for that as they can connect their phones as the source.

Don't loose faith yet. I have it on good authority that they do still plan to release the Zen9.

No I am not on the inside, but I've spoken in person with the higher ups at PG and I've been reassured that they plan to release it.

I am curious we know the number of channels out, do we know how many inputs it has? Its dawned on me that they love to combine inputs on the LE amps and I am wanting to run everything full active so I need individual channel inputs. I still can't get any response from anyone really about it. I talked to the girl that they have on FB now last week and she took my name/number to have someone get back to me but never did hear anything there. But like I said if it doesn't have the inputs I need then I think I will go old school with multiple ms amps.

Just looking at a few pics from the CES thread and it looks like the amp they displayed at CES had individual inputs for each channel. Who knows what the actual production amp will have, but I'd imagine they'd have to have individual inputs, especially with all of the available DSP's with multiple I/O's. I would personally love to have a one amp solution to run three way active plus sub like the zen9.

I tried to run in through a canadian/engrish translato and it gave me WTF. Eh? Not sure what ya mean there.

The zen thing I am pretty much over. No info excpept how many channels and some general power ratings. It seemed neat at first but I am still hoping for a ms/mq based old school for real.

With this item in mind I am truly scared of what will come of PG and even the industry in general really. I contacted two different shops more then one time to tell them I am interested in the amp and would even put money down to hold it and could not get either to act interested. I then contacted PG on FB and said the same thing. They acted like they wanted to help and then gave me the name/number of one of the ones I had already gone too and said they would help. When I told them they were the first one I contacted they said that their inside sales person would get in touch with them and then they would call me. Never did hear back. How it in an industry that seems like it needs every sale it can get that someone can walk in and say they are interested in putting money down on a high $$$$ LE amp and get no interest? Well what would I expect them to do when the manf responce was not much more? I am going full ms/mq on the build now. I know that stuff was made to last and will............

After being burnt by www.Trunkster.co on luggage and then www.ps3specialist.com/on a rebuilt PS3, I am done with putting down payments down on anything unless they are actually shipping. I still haven't received my Trunkster nor my PS3.
