these must be exactly the same amps as i will be using them for an active crossover network, my budget is 100 per amp but if thats not possible ill max out at $150 considering i can get a brand new amp for 200. if by any chance you happen to have an active 2 way or three way x-over that would also but good, but my budget for that would be considerably less considering i can get one new for 80. i currently am saving money for this and can not buy it exactly today but will be able to soon.

    I would suggest you to go to the www.emotiva.com website and take a gander at their monster two channel amp. Low price and very good delivery.

    Best of Luck!

    Ok fair enough! Since I work in the audio rental, I can talk from experience. Basicallym Behringer is a company that copies other successfull companies and uses cheaper material. Our company decided to save some money and started buying Behringer instead of mackie and other reputable brands. You couldn't believe the amount of problems we had since. It didn't take long, while the owner is dirt cheap when he buys gear he simply moved away from Behringer and went back to mackie and other quality product. I don't think there is that many Behringer product left in our shop as it would quicly fall apart and where eventually replaced with better gear. I can not say much about Pyle gear since I do not know much about the brand.


    Now, your budget is somewhat low and I am not exactly sure what you want to achieve. I think Dayton might satisfied your needs (Highly spoken of on many forums) as the quality of construction seems to be there. You have mentioned a minimum of 50 watts RMS, how about this (within your price range): http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-383 or if you want more powerfull (slightly above your price range): http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-812 Don't forget, power doesn't mean everything and sometimes it might simply be confused with real quality ;)

    Cheers!

    Neat idea :cool: I think the Dayton APA150 might be good for what you want to do.

    I can sell you a pair of Sonance Sonamp 60 watt amps, plus a Rane AC-22 crossover for $300 shipped. I can also point to an article on how easily to mod the AC-22 for cheap and excellent results for home use, although it is excellent anyway.

    Behringer gear is absolute junk. They rip off other peoples designs, use inferior quality components that completely destroy any semblance of sound quality...their equipment breaks after a couple weeks of extremely gentle use. It's garbage. I've personally used a lot of different Behringer equipment. My first mixer board was a Behringer Eurorack...I hated that thing with a passion. It was the most poorly engineered piece of junk I've ever had the misfortune of owning. Seriously.

    I've seen/used a lot of other Behringer gear as well. The only Behringer product I've ever used that I didn't absolutely hate, was a 4x12" guitar speaker cabinet. It worked well...and sounded half decent. It still wasn't anything special at all though.




    This is just my opinion, but I think you'd probably get better results with a single, nicer amp. Bi-amping can result in some drastic improvements, but it can be pretty expensive to really do it right.
