    Biamp the left rti12 into one gfa-555, and the right rti12 in the 2nd gfa-555.

    That's 400 x 2 into 8ohms, and 650 x 2 into 4ohms. That should be enough for your needs.

    Ronnie, those 12s will sing like no other, Im bi-amping my 12s with two Outlaw M2200 monoblocks and a Sony 7100 ES, and that to me can get very loud. I can only imagine what youre experiencing. Happy Listening pal. WOW

    Hey,,sherardp....hows The Bass In Your 12's Sound...i Dont Think Its What I Expected...a Little Weak To Me...very Accurate, But Not As Forceful As I Thought It Would Be...i Did Move Up From A Set Of Cerwin Vegas With 15 Inch Woofers....im Probably Just Used To Booming, None Accurate Bass....you Really Have Some Nice Gear, I Know Your Enjoying It.
