Still working on it.

Your input has been extremely valuable.. thank you so much. :-)
I realy believe in powering speaker at their program rating or close to it.
My experience with over powering or having a bunch of "headroom" is that one simple mistake can cost you alot in speakers.
The only thing is knowing which manufactures ratings are true and which are blown outta preportion by marketing hype.
Peavey has always been good at giving real world numbers.
