I love the beautiful, low-tech rack solution //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Other amps ideas besides Behringer.

This is a nice snag;

RMX1850HD

Probably out of your price range, but look at QSC MX3000A.

$625. Notice how tore up the amp is, yet it has heathy bidding. These are

ballsy amps and nobody cares about cosmetics.

Those are all nice amps. The first 2 I liked the best. I am probably just going to stuck with the behringer becasue it is about $150 cheaper than either of those and should still give me 1400rms at 4 ohms. I don't think i will need much more than that.

Is the Behringer built on the same chassis as the RMX1850HD? Just somewhat less material in it to make it cheaper? Just wondeirng cause the back panels look basically identical.

EP2500 is a RMX2450 clone but it has a smaller VA rated transformer so it's

total output power will be less than a 2450. Nothing wrong with the

clone, but there is a reason why it's $300 cheaper {list price} vs. RMX, it less

power. Nothing wrong with less power, but it's nice to know what you have

vs. the marketing jive which may falsely mislead you into thinking you have more.

The 1850HD is the same as 2450 but with reduced rail voltage, a clever method

to call it 'HD' {heavy duty} without having to redesign a new amp - just use the

2450 design. QSC does this with the new PL and PLX amps too. PL236 is the flagship

design. Take that design and do small things to the PCB like remove some parts {etc}

and re-badge the amp as a lesser model. This reduces manufacturering costs

vs. redesigning a new amp every time.

There is alot of comedy is the audio world if you dig deep.

Interesting, thanks for the info.

Even though they are a clone I would almost count on QSC using a little higher quality parts than Behringer....

I would be willing to bet money your correct. I don't know a whole lot about amps, but the Behringer is ALOT of power for not much money, and they can't do that without lowering the quality of parts in it.

Don't get me wrong Behringer is very good stuff, but even in the Pro Audio world there is stuff that is better. dbx, KT, Drawmer all builds better gear, but Behringer's price just can't be beat...

The reason 3 of my 4 components are Behringer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

Just to let you know. I ordered the Behringer amp and it will be here the 2nd. I bought some cables which allowed me to hook my laptop up to my reciever. That was cool. For now I am going to have the sub in a 5.1 surround sound setup with a jvc 56 inch hdtv. It should sound pretty good. I will have everything I need, by the 2nd except the enclosure for the sub. As soon as I get that I will make sure to take some pictures to show you everything. Thanks for all the help and I am pretty excited to see how this will all sound in the end.

I will atleast try to hook up all the surround sound stuff now. The TV should be in this week also. But I really can't wait to hear the sub. We decided to tune it to 25hz so it would still be able to hit the lows that you want to hit in a HT but will still sound great playing music. That was all Tirefyres idea and it seems like the right way to go. Also, the speaker wire for my surround sound I don't think is going to be long enough. Not to mention speaker wire in Home theaters seems to be a much higher gauge them car audio. I am going to have to pick up some serious amounts of speaker wire. Especially with a mag sub that I don't want anywhere near my new TV!! Does anyone know the correct gauge wire to wire everything with? If it is the same rules that apply to car audio then I can figure it all out. Which i bet it is. I have 5 100rms speakers, being powered by the reciever, and the 1400rms sub. I am guessing I will deff need to atleast get a smaller gauge wire for the sub wiring.
