I'm really keen on experimenting with this four-fold boost in power.

With the 160 in my system, I have the fronts and center crossing over to the EP800 at 40Hz. It sounds absolutely right and for the first time in 11 years, I can actually say I have an appropriate level of slam. I've commented on these boards that I've never been able to hear the sound of the drumstick hitting the drum skin; well, I no longer have that problem. Instead of bass sounding thick and muddy, it sounds clean, tight and what is usually described as "fast". I can turn the sub level up and it never gets muddy - just louder as it should be.

This boost may result in a slightly better kick without going over the top. Of course I can always increase my cross-over setting and then I'm sure it will knock my socks off.
