I took the instructions in SWR.
Hyper complete faade, great connectivity derrire, 2 HP in PARRALLLE (watch the impdance, max 2 x 8 ohms, there is a table provided)

The power ... well it is the only problem is the major, I think ...

He clipped on, and therefore, given the manufacturer's recommendations (can damage the hardware if clipping "levquot; (very relative) ...
So I sent it off, I did not notice. I tried the WorkingPro 400, same problem. And 700 to the end rvle less powerful than my Ashdown Mag 300 (300 watts).
Finally, I opt for a prampli Alembic F-1X and amplifiers Yamaha P 5000 S 2 X 700 watts @ 4 ohms, and it's powerful, trs!
Intensify the bass circuitry (made biscuits!) Is very well, it increases the good bass (like the good cholestrol), it remains clear is the best sound of amp heads I esay transistor (in 30 years ..). The aural enhancer (untranslatable, which increases the purity of sound) is awfully good.
I put 9 for all, but this lack of potential puisance fact waive the purchase, heartbreaking. This shot of note.
