The OP has sent me a few messages today. He's pretty much lined out, unless he changes his mind. And he'll NOT be running Soundstream equipment. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifbro your best setup would be those soundstreams both dual 4's wired to 1 ohm and that recoil amp
