Thank You Parts Express for your excellent products, customer service representatives, and technicians for all that you do!!!
This project was fun and expensive but I wouldn’t change anything if I had to do it all over again. What isn’t mentioned above, is that I am using a Crown XLS-2500 powering up the beast. I also used a Soundstream Epicenter to boost the pre-amp signal to about 7V to maximize the Crowns potential. I have roughly $2200 invested and love every bit of it. It brings Call of Duty on the X-BOX too life. “just ask any of my neighbors”!!!!!
Any question, email me directly at sspklws@hotmail.com
Customers ask me questions but I’m unable to use the link to answer them. So my advice to the last question is you can never have to much amplification. I compare it to an automobile. If your going to drive 80mph. I would want a car that can go 160 and do 80 with ease, than to buy a car that can only go 85. Sure it can go 80 but it is probably straining and going to blow…..
