Man, i've heard so many negative reviews of amps, are there any out there that people actually LIKE? Especially ones that don't cost an arm and a leg?

Don, do you have any suggestions for the $100-$200 range to power the SLCs?

Cool, lemme know the details when you get the chance.

I've started preparations for install (bought some MDF for an amp-mounting board w/ some carpeting, bought a distributor block w/ fuses, and bought a set of 8ga terminal connectors, which, ironically, came with a set of tweeters as a free gift lol!)

Tis gonna be schweet.

One question I have with the install of my Rainbows and iPaul. Will my Bose subwoofer still work or will that have to be disconnected when the amp is installed?? I didn't think about that until sometime today. Thanx.

According to Don Cmx are no longer available, they are being replaced by another model. So I may decide to save up a bit more and just go with some Dyn 3 ways . Im taking a trip to his house tomorrow to check out his system and order my hu.. this was a long time coming. My Bose hu cd and tape deck no worky. Also for some reason I get no reception for radio stations at all. I must have ruined something when I had the hu apart to do the leds. Anyhow I cant wait to get his hu. But yeah let me know how you make out.
