We do! I was considering them but I thought they provided an inferior connection. How's yours working out for you?

Re: Soldering help

Thanks for the advice thus far. I won't be getting a gun as this is the only time I'll be soldering anything. Radioshack has a 45 watt iron that's all of 20 dollars, any ideas on how this will fair me? I'm glad I at least know what to look for as far as solder goes.

Soldering help

The plans have been very thorough so far and I'm just about finished with my 2x10 O12s! I just want to make sure I don't screw up probably the most important part - connecting the crossover components. I have never soldered before, I've watched some youtube instructional videos since and I think I c...

Re: Crown or QSC?

Also, on a semi-related note, in the product description it states it having a 3 yr warranty. I would assume thats from crown, but then they try to sell me a warranty when I go to purchase it. Is it the same warranty that really doesn't come with it unless you purchase it, or are they just trying to...

Re: Crown or QSC?

I'm leaning toward the crown simply because of price. Anybody want to sell me on qsc before I take the dive?

@bgavin: I just assumed all consumer electronics of this nature would be manufactured in china, but I could be wrong. At least the eminence drivers I'll be purchasing are american made :)

Re: Crown or QSC?

If you use the BP102 8ohm speakers, they will be optimum at 200 watts ea. or 400 watts per cabinet. The Crown puts out 300 watts at 4 ohms per side. A little underpowered. Look for an amp that will give you at least 400 watts per side at 4ohms. http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Crown-XLS...

Crown or QSC?

I'm new to all this, so don't flame too much. I'm about to build 2 x O12TBs in the 2x10 configuration as a full PA setup for no more than 300 people. To power them, I'm looking at the QSC RMX 850, but I just found this: http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Crown-XLS-202D-Power-Amplifier?sku=...
