Nice man.Hell ya, I myself would run just about any amplifier rather than no power at all,or bare min. off an HU. Its working and nothing wrong with that. I think those pods are going to sound fantastic man.Right now I’m running them at 2 ohms on a Timpano 4 channel class D. Not my favorite amp honestly (it has a loud noise floor), but it does 200 watts x 4 at 2 ohms. I’m running active crossovers with a DSP. The CDTs are paired with soft dome Dayton audio tweeters.
