If you keep it turned down low, you'll be ok with it. I have 2 running off a Directed 1500d in a ported box, and thay sound awsome. Yeah, I figured to keep the gain low. I have an AX1000 powering my front stage with the gain down below 1/2 and I've been real happy to this point. It's pushing a pr. of CDT 07 braxials (soon to add the upstage to the mix to pull the stage up). Think the XT2000D would be enough? I like plenty of headroom. Are the xterminators being mfg. back in the states now? I heard some year models were being made in Korea after US amps moved out of Fl. to Cali. . Thanks for the reply.
