Arc Audio 2100-XXK. Not the best pictures, can't find the digital camera (used the camcorder). I will try it out running my front speakers. My original plan was to have one of these for my sub and a 4050-XXK for my components. I may just go with two of these.

Youve not been into CA very long have you? ;)

Youre gear is never good enough. I could go out and get a pair of $1000 Zapcos and within a year Id be browsing the Brax catalog!

But seriously tho, I love my Crossfires. They take a lot of abuse and easily exceed their power ratings cleanly.

Those are some pretty thick looking RCA cables you got.

Clean brother. Now ya gotta get a matching Arc to replace the MTX. There is always an excuse to buy more stuff! And if you cant think of one let me know. Im an expert at coming up with them.

Thanks :p . My wife also thinks that I am an expert in coming up with excuses for getting new gear :D . If I run out I will get back to you :).


I am trying to decide which way to go right now :D . I could get another ARC 2100XXK for my sub and that will do the trick. I could also get an ARC 4050XXK (4ch. amp) and run my speakers actively through the 4050's X-overs.

Tell you what though, these old Polks sure like the increase in power. They sound really nice.

while i am a fan of mtx, ditch that blasted thing and get another arc amp.

arc audio is perhaps one of the finest pieces of ass kicking amp-age around.

... get rid of that friggin monster cable RCA set too - itmakes me, uneasy... i believe it was neo who said, "it's very fundamentally not good" or something to that effect.

I am thinking of getting another one after the holidays. Probably the 4ch to run an active front stage. As for the Monster stuff, those 4ch. cables only cost me 20 bucks or so. Thanks to Crutchfield discounts :). The thick blue ones were also pretty cheap, my friend use to work at the Good Guys.

I love that quote, too, but it's in his sig:
