SDA-SRS Re-fab going ok, stain almost right, covers tight, crown amp in, parasound pre amp in, sounds ok, considering a psound F210 EQ and still working on the interconnect cable. Just time and money.

    Instead of the EQ, replace the crown with a Parasound amp.

    Idea on a good parasound amp? Still wants the eq capability.

    Also considering some sort of sub system, yes the sda's have good bass but looking for that extra "deep thump".

    +1! A Parasound Halo would be a good choice. A21 or A23 depending on budget.

    If the Halo's are too pricey, consider some of the older models such as the HCA1200 II. It put out 200+WPC. The Halos will give you better detail though.

    I've also heard a Sunfire on my SDA's and it was remarkably similar to the Parasound. Maybe a bit more thump in the bass section where the Parasound did better in the highs.
