Pardon my being so verbose. It's just that we have a few people in here
that insist there are differences, despite the fact that tey've never
designed or even constructed any of the components we're talking about here.

That's why I am asking - I have heard both sides of the story but
never anything convincing from people that insist that there are
diffs. Thanks for your help, I will probably sell my Audiocontrol
pieces back then unless someone can convince me to keep them.

The built in xover will do what I need, all I want to do is set the
high pass on the separates to where they have midbass but not too much
so they blow. I have two fifteens in the trunk for that.

So let me ask you what is the big diff btwn a high end zapco type of
an amp and my MTX ? I looked at the specs and they are incredibly
underrated. THe amp comes with an actual test spec sheet with numbers
like 56w/channel x 4(4ohm) instead of the 25W it's rated at and THD at
..016 instead .1
I know it's hard to put SQ in numbers and I have heard high end audio
and it blows my mind but can it really be heard in a car? It seems
like you spend $1200 on an amp vs $300 and you get maybe a slight
increase in quality but there is so much road noise and other factors
I wonder if it's worth it.
