Hello... What's your opinion to drive subs about (Crest 9001 or VZ5000) vs. LA 48? (PD.1850 in Scoops in my case?). I don't want to get in the debate about Crest 9001 vs VZ5000 as it has been discussed extensively already, and each amp has its own fans, but I'd like to hear people's opinion about "chopped amps" (that's how we say in french but not sure it the same in english  )I know some people are against that kind of new generation amps but the LA 48 seems to be a high end amp having some positive points, specially weight and lower power supply needs. Price-wise its almost the same range, Crest 9001 or VZ5000 are around 1500euros where LA 48 is around 1700euros... ------------- King HiFi - Heavyweight Dancehall System |

By LA48, do you mean L-acoustics brand Lab Gruppen FP6400? If so, then i'm sure people would think they're ok on bass, but prefer the heavy models, for the "heavy sound". Also, kinda depends on what music you're playing- stuff with long basslines or kicky Techno type stuff. Long basslines maybe better with the Crown/ Crest. Techno with the Lab. Also, in UK you can get Crest or Crown for about 1000 Euros easily, but the Lab is more expensive, maybe 1500-1600 Euros. If you go for the Crown, I have some available for sale at £900!!  |

Yes a LA48 is a Lab 64 no difference :) Lab are very good but your going to perfer the sound of the VZ5000 mainly due to its poor damping and there subby sound ( these things can help tho ) I've owned Lab 64's, CA18's and the like .... if weight is not a problem stick with the heavy ones but if weight is a problem or a big factor then go lightweight buddy :) |

Im sorry to ask guys.. but could you use punctuation and try making your sentences more comprehensive, it is very hard for me to understand what you are trying to say (im not an english-born speaker) 
What does "not trip the breaker on turn on" mean?
If i use on 13A plug on dub, the CA18 and 9001 are not as loud as what? ---- Hope im not asking for too much.. thanks!  ------------- King HiFi - Heavyweight Dancehall System |

Thanks Builder for your explanations, its the first time I hear about this 9001 problem... SO if it was a fuse i guess you'd just have to change it and turn the amp on again... But what is the solution with the breaker? Is it hard to fix when it trips? Bless ------------- King HiFi - Heavyweight Dancehall System |
