I'll keep it short and sweet...... I love them ;D It has been raining all day but managed to get both boxes in my ranger. Yes up front in the passenger seat. Not as heavy as i thought they would be. Took me an hour or so to get them in the rack and rocking. The LEDs move but at extreme volumes (110db+). If you guys want to know the definition of overkill, here it is. Overkill: Using 103db efficient speakers on 1000 watt mono blocks.     Short video  And showing off my new Rega RB-300 tonearm. |

Atta boy! - big amps to drive big speakers! (Even if they are hugely efficient!). I know what you mean about raining all day here in the Twin Cities, but we need it, right? Good thing you didn't slip bringing those beasts in the door! Enjoy!  |

Congratulations on joining the Power Amplifier Overkill Club! Hope you enjoy them as much as I'm enjoying my new XPR-5. The only problem with having mono-blocks is if you don't have two consecutive serial #'s then they won't sound just right together!  ;D Enjoy Matt! |

What's really weird is one amp has a screw towards the front plate and the other doesn't  I'll take a picture of it. |

Wow Matt! 2000 watts with 103db speakers. Crank it up. Lets see how many decibels you can stand before you have to leave the neighborhood.  |

WOW!!  Major drool factor, Matt. I am giddy like a 10-year-old boy in a toy store! Those look fantastic and the overkill factor is fully engaged! I definitely prefer them without the sideburns in your setup. Matches perfectly. I'm afraid to do the math here to calculate peak dB levels. Talk about blowing down the doors. I have no doubt I'd need earplugs if you maxed out those puppies with your PD30s.  |

Earlier i gave them a nice workout. My SPL meter was around 120db. Still crystal clear sound with no distortion The bass was extreme. With 2 15" woofer per speaker, it rattles the windows like crazy ;D |

A little hiss but it's not noticeable sitting on the couch. It comes with high efficiency speakers but i won't be letting my speakers go for a long time. A true winner in my book. Real sound from 25hz to over 20khz.
