are these RMS values? What are the impedance's of each cab?

Yes pretty sure its rms 450w 8hms on all
and 2x 800w 8ohm drivers per box 1600w 4ohm

And budget is what will sound best :) just heard a k20 on a mates rig and i want powersoft but my bank wants SAE or something like that lol

I've heard a K20 on Mungos HiFi do huge damage, might be a bit overkill on a couple 1600w RMS 2x18" cabs though.

Heard some FFAs on Heartical HiFi and they also sound very good.

Could go 2 PQM8 and 2 PCM20 for the whole lot.

Plenty of options though, just depends on whats available to you in NZ.

Loads of forum topics on this, here are a few

Mungo's use 800w PD drivers. four per channel. It's all about headroom.

If not shure of the power values.

250w RMS is the same as 400wAES

RMS x by 1.6 to get the AES value

AES devide 1.6 to get the RMS value
