[QUOTE="Alan Sledzieski, post: 59149, member: 1022"] Re: Amp upgrade dillema: QSC PLX3402 vs. Crest Pro8200 My friend has a plx rig, they have had issues on low voltage. When he wants real sub amp he brings out the macro 5ks. I run 8200's on my double 18's, they sound great and work fine. We have also ran 9200's side by side to 5 k's, could not tell a difference. Bad part about a crest 200 series is they are built on one big board, depending on what goes out it can be rather pricy on repair, and crest / peavy are not very knowledgeable on whats going on with some issues. Not sure how the plx are built. What prices are you seeing for 8200's used? Stay away from any used 8200's that have a Iec cord, first they suck if you ask me, and the first model year crest 8200, with the iec had power supply issues. They also had the fan housing to close to the input xlr's, plus they were non locking also. The 8200's are switchable x20, x40 [/QUOTE]
