[QUOTE="Carl Klinkenborg, post: 217458, member: 12770"] Remember you don't have 8000 'real' Watts available from your amp, and it's likely to collapse on sustained LF tones such as dub reggae. Probably ok on most normal music but if you are keeping this amp I would consider four 18s, one on each channel which would probably be a little kinder on the amp and offer better headroom with future amp expansion. In most instances you can never have too much bass capacity available, and any system will sound better if the bass side isn't operating continuously at '11'! As has been pointed out, 18s come in many colours, with BMS probably being top of the tree. [/QUOTE]
