Hey Guys,

I found a great deal on two QSC CX404's which is 250w/8 and 400/4...has anyone dealt with this amp before and can contest to its bass/highs? I will be running LSi's all around 15's F/R LSiC, 9's for rear, FX's for sides, would 400 watts be to much for the sides/rear? I am not gonna crank this up to death metal levels, but from what I read the more power the better for these guys. Just curious on what you guys thought!

Thanks,

Ross

    The power rating is fine, not a problem at all. Have you compared the sound quality of pro sound amps like those to the usual audio/HT power amps?
