it doesn't "need" a big amp. it'll leave you room to upgrade in the future when you have your electrical up to par. have you ever heard that song "Mr. Brownstone" by Guns-n-roses? thats the way car audio is. "i use to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it so a little got more and more". you'll always want bigger

some Icons or even Xcons on a Crescendo amp sounds like a great mix! just make sure to put them in a PROPERLY designed enclosure and not a pre-fab and you should have something that will get as low as you would ever want.

do you have a release date on these yet and maybe a set price?

yeah, thats not right at all man. it's not your fault the price of Neo is higher than expected. you paid for a product and you should receive that product or a refund. can't wait to hear what IA has to say regarding this matter.

guess AA doesn't have any love for the SSA forum. been waiting for months now. i thought the vendors had to be active on the forum to stay?

oh wow Neil, those look great! thanks

very nice! can't wait to see the difference in the two.

yeah, i just want the amp to run the front towers when i want to go balls to the wall. the rest is for when i run the HT. right now i have a pretty shitty 5.0 speaker set up that all came in 1 box. small little satellite speakers that have zero depth when it comes to output. my sub is lacking to say the least (12in. JBL 250W amp). if you were going to put together a HT setup with all Cerwin Vega, what would you choose and it couldn't be the CMX line (except maybe the center channel and if chosen the bookshelfs) what would you choose based on already having the XLS-215 fronts. it's on a 7.1 Onkyo TX-NR809 reciever.

oh and for my side surrounds, would it be stupid to get a 6.5in. XLS-6 bookshelf speaker to hang higher with the XLS-215 floors in front, and maybe the XLS-28's in the rear? please educate me so i don't try something really stupid and waist money doing it. thanks

also, i was thinking about getting some XLS-28's for my rear surround channels, but i was wondering if it would be a better idea to get something like a single 12in cabinet cerwin vega VE-12F's. again, i don't know jack squat about home theater so your help is appreciated. i'm just looking for something that will give me the best surround sound at a great price. i also have a thing for Cerwin Vega so i'm sticking with the brand and i would like all of my gear to match

not a bad unit, but the DEH-X7500HD has a 24bit DA, 7 band eq 6 channel 4V pre-outs and the works. Are you mainly looking for a DD unit?

that is a really great buy! i was gonna suggest the Kenwood KDC-X396 http://www.sonicelec...n-KDC-X396.html . another good option i like Swifts better though

the speakers are 4ohm

the sound that will come out of the other type of horns will be much smoother than the super tweets and they will get pretty damn loud and they'll sound good doing it. you'll have a lot more range with those horns to better tune the system as well.

absolutely absurd output in my home, just like in my truck. thats why i want it. i don't like my neighbors much either

really??? http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/msn/brandon_spikes_opts_to_leave_santa_claus_an_interesting_gift_as_cookies_and_milk_just_wont_do_the_trick/12508708 LOL

have you thought about something like the horns that i posted up for you?

this is what i want out of it and am just not quite there

well, i have a pair of Cerwin Vega XLS-215's i want to drive. my Onkyo receiver is only 135w per channel.

hahaha, it must add DBzzzz

Well if you snag it I'd love to see it. I've ben considering finding one and trading my Formula for it. J yeah, get rid of that POS GM and get a Ford! i love Foxs', they are so easy to make fast

Design the enclosure for desired response, not the amount of power you are running. I do for both the amount of power and the response.

you would be just fine running in that 7.5 cube net area. with that amp on them you will want to run a larger enclosure to get the most out of the system. the amp is alright, but it doesn't put out rated power so you'll need a more efficient enclosure to achieve a higher output. also, I would make the port opening at around 15.5Hx6W

That's pretty much null after accounting for average power being lower due to impedance. right, it will always be lower. you'll never see full power out of an amp in the real world.
