Ummmm... I have no idea what you're talking about, but I can't wait to read your next post, so here goes;

As long as you have a reasonable signal going to each power amp input, and don't drop below the rated output impedance for each output stage, you should be just ducky.
As far as cabinets; at least one per output stage.
Two amps into a single cabinet = very bad.

Your turn.

Also, if you add; ???WTF??? to your poll options, you will likely get a bunch of responses.

I don't know Ed - I just had to vote "where to put the compressor". I do see how your WTF suggestion would naturally follow mine.

I had a thought about suggesting a welder.  :roll:

"where to put the compressor"

I agree, right next to the welder...in the garage.

As far as cabinets go, I would look for three of those Kasino beasts, you know, the ones that were like 8 feet tall and 4 feet wide. I think they had like 12-12" in them. You should be able to get close to the sound you are looking for with 36 12" speakers. Throw in about 3-18" scoop bins and your all set.


Wait...an idea...what about 36 -18" and 3-12" for highs? Now that should come close to producing the brown note.
