So I just moved into a new home with a 20' x 35' x 10' media room. I have a CS Ultra that was being run by an Outlaw Audio M2200 amp, which was great in a bedroom, not so much of a hump from the sub anymore :(. So I got the itch and said this just wont do ad endd up picking up a QSC RMX1450, which will bridge 4ohms at 1400 watts:eek: ! So I moved the M2200 and hooked that up to my center channel, which has added some clarity and definatly better performance at low sound volumes. I hooked up the QSC and bam this party is rocking again! I can't believe this sub has this much headroom! So far I have tested out some music, which was great. I then popped in Live Free or Die Hard and this sub was just music to my ears. There are a few scenes, three of which are unreal for a sub. The first scene is when the hackers come looking for the kid and a nasty gun fight breaks out, second is where the kid and bruce willis are in the tunnel and a car flips over top of them, I got my amp to actually go into safe mode on this one :eek:. The third which is great is wen the power plant explodes from the natural gas. AWESOME! My girlfriend was laying out by the pool which is a good 15' away from the theater and said she heard every explosion. I got the "dont you think thats a little much" look.:rolleyes: Cheers to heavy bass ladies and gents, Im off to test another flick, not sure which to check out tho.

If you havent already, You may want to replace the fan in the QSC, the stock ones that came in mine were unbearably loud.

Here is a link to the procedure, The behringer and QSC are nearly identical.

Dont just use electrical tape and twist the wires though, Solder them and use heatshrink, Or at the very least use butt connectors.

Also, Set the channel 2 volume control on the same as whatever you have channel 1 set on.
