Bronze Member Username: Doug_wPost Number: 60 Registered: Mar-05 | Well I am wanting to get the best equiptment possible so I am willing to save up for however long it takes, so a D class amp would be better, so I guess money is not problem then. I'm just trying to plan this all out so I know how much money I need to save up. So what would you recommend as the best possible D class amp for them? |
