[QUOTE="Marlow Wilson, post: 24981, member: 47"] Re: Any news on the new Crest lightweight amps? Exactly. Any half-decent roadcase is going to be around 100 lbs. The difference between something lightweight and something super-lightweight is almost insignificant. There are some decent and affordable options to lighten the load compared the the RMX's, but holding out for featherweight vapor-ware might not be in your best interest. I haven't weighed any of my racks, but I'm pretty sure they are getting towards 150lbs without any amps in them (by the time you add a rac-pac, hardware, and some copper). If you're putting a couple in some SKB/Gator cases, I guess it's a different story, but I've just switched to powered speakers for those applications as it is. Were you hoping to use the DSP? If yes the original XTI series can be had on blowout I'm pretty sure, and if not the QSC GX7 is cheap and light, but definitely in the budget realm. PLX or PLX2 are also pretty hard to beat on the budget but still 'pro' end of things. Good luck! Marlow [/QUOTE]
