One thing I noticed when looking at the insides is that this amp is a straight up SPL amp, and probably wouldnt do so well as a daily driver. (I could be very wrong, not bashing).

When you look at the colour of the actual board of the amp, notice that it is a brown colour. When you open up Pyramid amps and look at the board it is the same colour. Also look at the way they transfer current around the board. They use metal rails that are mounted externally, instead of using a thicker 4 layer board and putting copper traces within the layers of the board. When copper trace is used the board is usually green(as far as I have noticed, Now some rail amps also do have a green board so maybe my theory is wrong but.....)

All I am trying to say is that the AB 400.1 is built to make insane power for short periods, not that it is a crappy amp or anything, just kinda hard not to compare it with the 2000X that is mounted on the wall of the shop not more then 3 feet from me.

Here is a pic of the inside of a 2000X so that you can see what I am talking about.
