Yes, it's cliche, yes it's overdiscussed, but yes, I need new subs.

[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 33688, member: 34"] Re: Yes, it's cliche, yes it's overdiscussed, but yes, I need new subs. @Evan, I used to own four SRX718S that I used on an IT8000, and I don't even know why I sold them. They were definitely good sounding subs, but I think I sold them after I built my first batch of LAB subs. I may end up just buying four PRX618S-XLF for small stuff, and then I can use them as drum or sidefill at larger shows. I might build another set of LABs, or another design I have, which I may post here with the designer's permission. @Chris, my IT-HDs are nothing like a traditional system controller at all. They can have up to 50 presets which can be changed on the fly, applied to other amps, or loaded from files. Amps can be grouped easily for control and monitoring, especially useful when I'm using multiple amps as main L-R or different elements in an array.
