I bought a new crown XLi 1500 as an open box from Amazon for $257 its 900 watts bridged. Works pretty good but has a noticeable buzz when the volume is down. If I have the sensitivity set at 1.4v the buzz is less but so is the volume of the sub so I keep it at 0.775v. I intend on using this sub for a outdoor theatre setup and in my garage hooked up to my NSM cd jukebox that also puts a buzz into a set of Quartets I use out there, it’s not noticeable when music is playing.

Wow, $100 bucks lol! I have a pair Chorus 1’s I bought in 1994 for $600 , looks like their worth double that now but very recently I replaced the crossovers and tweeters. I was also looking at the crown amps , I like that idea better because of the rear driver.

I watched a YouTube video on the 1000w Dayton amp and that one tested 497w at 8 ohms , 897 4 ohms I assume the 500w amp is 500 at 4 ohms?

My Klipsch 15” sub failed so I replaced it with two SVS PB-3000’s. I bought the Klipsch new many years ago and it still looks like new but from what l’ve been reading here they have a lot of amp issues but I hate to just let it sit so I was thinking of going with a Dayton plate amp. What kind of power can this sub handle? I think it’s only 250w now. Can it handle 500w?? Another problem is the passive driver on the back, should I just remove it to make room for the bigger amp?

I’m upgrading my Chorus 1’s, where can I get some of these screws? 😜
