When buying amps (or anything):

Buy quality, buy once, buy something designed for what you are using it for.

No one ever regrets buying the best. Deciding what is best is another story, and why we are here anyway.

Frankensteining a system together to save a few $ will come back to bite you in the end.... just look at some of the DIY sub threads out there. yegck!

The fact that you guys are acutally looking at this as a viable option is entertaining.... but come on. You're scaring the kids. laugh
