Well, I've had my substage in for about two days.
I love the bass but since I didn't have room for my front stage amp it sounds like crap. My deck doesn't have a hipass filter on it so the subs sound like the speakers in terms of the frequencys they are playing. The lows hit really hard but it also plays the highs and they come out insanely distorted. Overall these loaded enclosures are freakin INSANE with bass for 8" W3s. I just need to find a way to clean up the signal so I can get just bass from them.
The installer didn't even mount the substage amp. It's just floating around back there with the sub enclosures. He also told me he was going to mount them so that both ports faced the side walls on the loaded enclosures. To do this all he had to do was set one box up-side-down. He didn't even do that. So one box fires into the other box and that box fires into the side wall like it's supposed to.
I think there may be room for my front stage amp but I don't think he tried very hard to find it. I think both amps could be mounted like this // One slighty higher than the other. Just need a super small amp rack/frame to mount them on.
If that doesn't work my only option is to return the loaded enclosures and buy a pair of subs and have a custom box built or a JL 13TW5 and a premade box off eBay. Then I can put both amps on the driver's side rear wall and the one TW5 on the passenger rear wall. I could also put the amps side by side along the bottom.
