[QUOTE="Robert_E, post: 134298, member: 853"] I use a Behringer EP4000 it's Class H I think. Why do you prefer not using Class D for subs? Do not assume that a 200W amp will be sufficient for driving a 175w speaker - for instance I can clip my EP4000 with 950w per channel with my 800w vented subs. Going sealed increases the power demand for the same driver, and I've seen a single 15" sealed bring a Crown amp to it's knees. I've also had a sealed 18" hooked up to my amp in bridge mode (1750w into 8ohms) and that could clip my amp at below the levels I usually demo at. If you are never going to rock out loud then the plate amps could be fine. Let me check if I can get Winisd running quickly I want to check the power draw of your proposed box. [/QUOTE]
