you don't need near that kind of power for 1 temepst i wouldn;t put over 500 watts on it and that is pushing it in a large proted box

how much more does the svc 8ohm option cost? i couldnt find it on the site but i heard you can get it. then i could wire it to 2 ohms right?

i could just get this and bridge it http://www.thezeb.com/p-Profile-AP1200-2-Channel-Amplifier-109686.htm

thats 600x1 @4ohms. and i heard profiles ratings are bullshit so it shouldnt actually be puttin out 600 watts right?
