I have two Paradigm servo 15's that just aren't cutting it anymore, I
am hoping to be rid of them in a couple years. I have decided to
build my own sub system next time. I have am quite impressed with
some of the stuff done at:

Well you should be impressed. While some of this is probably overkill,
you'll get more sonic exciemtent for your money invested this way than in a
truckload of Shatki stones.

I would optimally like to build in at least 16-32 drivers(probably
transmission line), the construction aspect is not a problem,

I think if you started out with 1/4 or 1/8 as many drivers you'd probably
wonder what you were thinking.

I am a little baffled(pun intended) as to what sort of amplifier solution
I
should be looking at.

The amps can be mounted remotely, so fan-cooled pro audio amps can be very
effective.

I feel that class D car audio stuff would
probably be the most cost effective,

Car audio stuff looses a lot of its attraction once you include the cost and
hassle of coming up with enough 12 volt power.

however I then run into the problem of rectifying power etc.

Exactly.

Anyone have any idea's on what would be optimal for powering lets say 16
shiva 15's

start out with one, and add as required to provide desired SPLs.
