| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Eldartford, you happen to be correct.Not to hi-jack this thread, but I'm running "two-pairs" of the older Optimus Pro 7AV's (stacked line-array style) in the big rig for a while, with a pair of Super Cube 8" subs. They're heavy, built like a tank ... | |
