Regarding amps, in my area I'd like to stay away from them due to many tall buildings and multi-path interference. But what are you guys using for amps anyway? Who makes good ones that play nicely with SB products? (Just in case we need in the future.)

Thanks,

I started out with the advice of YDI. They are RF Experts and they also sell amp's. they recommended to use amps on your ap's. and only on subs that absolutely needed it. That's what I've been doing for years. The past year I have removed all but 2 of my customers amps. And when I get another couple micro pops up they will be gone too. Amps on the customer ends can cause some pretty strange things to happen. George Tom Haynes wrote: > Dimitrios & Nish, > You are both correct in a way.
