[QUOTE="eharri3, post: 6179217, member: 591579"] Great to prioritize front stage but... Im not sure why people think starting out with some wattage rating requirement and making that your primary criteria guarentees you will have awesome sound. If your music is not mostly bass and components are more important to you than a sub, why would you start with a 1000 watt+substage and then build aroundit ? All you've really done is made it harder and more expensive for yourself to find a front stage setup that can keep up. You will need something REALLY good to keep up with that sub if you're really sending it the power you say you are. A second set of comps would be a better bet than trying to forcefeed most sets 400 watts rms. Otherwise with the majority of sets you will be needing to dial your gain way back and they won't be seeing all the power anyway. This is why my substage is generally 300 watts or less. That's how I think. If it were most important to me it'd be 1000 watts or more but since I want everything to keep up with everything else it's an almost balanced 300/240 watts right now, with front stage going to an even 300 soon.
