Thanks for the clarification on the Arc XDI, I was not aware this is their entry level amp.
Waves & Wheels @ LOTO uses Arc amps & they are well known for their installs.
Well, I guess at this point the only things I do know is;
I want to run 4 pair coax's 100 watt RMS range and 6.5" - 7.5" size.
2 - 10" subs sealed box 800 watt ea.??
1 amp to run 8 coax's @ 1.5 x speaker RMS (150 watts)
1 maybe 2 mono amps to run subs @ 1.5 x sub RMS (1200 watts) I do like the Alpine R series subs, they pound.
All this is giving me a head ach, good thing I live in Iowa & boating season is several months away.

Jonyb may I ask a question on the cmd 8...I am having a hell of time with the sub output..I can get it to work but is seem's so sloppy is the word or muted...soft is what I am trying to describe have you had any of the same issue's at all. Don't get me wrong I really like the head unit it takes a pounding and runs with no issues and look's great at the same time.
I should say this is in direct comparison to a pioneer dvd player I had in the boat the sub crossover was outstanding.....just the rest of it was not such a good ideal..

I'm a mobile electronics shop, our specialty is marine audio and lighting. For 8 years without a storefront our business has been word of mouth and referrals throughout the Western KY area.I use Focal/Gladen/Mosconi too, but that may changed soon after being treated the way we were by Orca Design at CES last week.

Has anyone ever used the "Krypt" 6.5" speaker enclosure? Thinking about mounting some Wet Sounds SX650 in these enclosures, not sure if they would perform ok in these enclosures or not. Anyone ever done this?
