Or, you could just turn it down....

I wouldn't use an EP2000 channel without first implementing a limiter. I know from experience that even if we say it will be "so loud your house will want to cry" you will still max it out for grins (hell I took my T60 to the limiter in a 10x13 room

). Do yourself a favor and implement some kind of protection (or buy an amp with something like 250 watts per channel). ***Do this without the sub plugged in*** You can always set the gain level on the subwoofer to a certain level such that the voltage is correct as per the plans with the volume on your reciever/mixer at max while playing a sine wave (using a voltmeter to check voltage) and use that as a sort of "limiter". As long as no one touches the gain on your amp you'll be fine.

TT extends to 30hz or so.
Their power ratings don't match. Chances are you could fry the MCM in short order with that amp. Match the RMS ratings up to find a suitable combo. A dual loaded MCM, series wired, would probably be ok though.
was recomending series wiring. did not clearly state.

By the context I'm assuming the MCM is a driver? So you're suggesting I dual load a TT box? If I could get away with a voltmeter and the gain controls on my amp/mixer that'd be great. If a DSP is necessary in place pf a crossover to provide proper limiting then ill do what I need to.
