powering X-tro's

   Better to spend money on good drivers and make do with lesser amps rather than the other way round I reckon.

If you want lightweight I'd check out the QSC PLX range or the new Matrix amps. If you want to wait for a bit the Peavey IPR 1600/3000 look good as budget lightweight options, could be used to power 8"s and 1"s.

For puns - Matrix XT5000G/XT6000G, Crest CC5500, Void Inf. 8 mk2.

Personally I think the Crown K2 will work fine on the 15"s for the time being. Yeah you won't have headroom but the difference between that and a bigger amp will only be in the order of a few db so I think it'd do for now.

	I run my 6 x-tro's on 2 camco vortex 6 amps. They have the option to connect up to 1 ohm in parallel mode, so i put 3 x-tro's on one vortex' output, this way it is a lot easier wiring. And each driver gets about 900 w. I saw some cheap vortex amps on the second hand page of the german site of thomann..

	I'd say go for 2nd hand Crest CA series. But that's just my opinion.

	Ok, looking into matrix amps and the proline 3000 now. but just out of curiosity, anyone any experience with the T.AMP D3400 digital amplifier or the crown xls 5000 and if they would be any good on the 15" duty? Read peoples comments d3400 on here so far but there didn't seem to be much of a conclusion. Edited by AMD79 - 02 August 2010 at 7:48pm
