For a full-on experience, you need:
HP drivers: 700W x 2 channels --> 65V rails into 3 Ohms
mids: 175W x 4 channels --> 46V rails into 6 Ohms
highs: 30W x 4 channels --> 16V rails into 4 Ohms
That's a 2.5KW toroid to do the above and you are approaching the limit of a 20A outlet. The toroidal transformer cost for that beast alone is 300 bucks in large quantities.
Now if you are using a sub to off-load the LFRs, the equation changes quite a bit. You could probably get away with 50W x 2 for the HP drivers and go with a toroid of the size in the 1000.
It can't be done for $1000 and be profitable. Andrew, prove me wrong.
