Reading up more, with my desire for eardrum blowing loudness but with high SQ as well, the XXX is my only bet. I'll have to suck it up and get a 2000w amp. Oh well. I overslept today so I didn't get around to ordering the XXX. I was also late for work and got my second write-up. I can't be late anymore! My dreams of car audio amongst other material possessions will be washed away.
