Until I heard one tearing down a venue on 4 Turbomax loaded scoops, Thumbs Up & my thoughts were................ Why can't others make the VZ's sound like that Question


Peace............................ Big smile


Really Mr Gee.... all the time?

Spanners sub  (powered by authentically repaired/serviced MA5000VZ ) in Bristol, sounded lovely across 4x XB Scoops, last time I heard it.




Wink i believe amp is 20% of sound, Box 20%, Driver 20%, Processing 20% and operator 20%.

all about the combinations innit! trendsetter has killer combo ... the darq sounds lush but put it on different boxes and may sound completely different. like when trendsetter tried crown on his sb's with pd's... didn't sound nice at all. driver condition aswell as other stuff may have been a factor but.....

Owned a few Phonic XP amps and have had an "interesting time" with them. I wouldn't touch a XP5000 with a barge pole.
Here is a link to forum where I relate four years of struggling to get some customer satisfaction after buying Phonic.Ouch
