Crown CE2000 (will it work?)

**lvisneau** · **07-16-07, 12:53 PM**

I'm looking into IB and happen to have a Crown ce2000 pro audio amp from back in the band days.
Would this amp work with 2 mach5 IXL 18's? those are the speakers i'm looking at. I'll make the ib decision based on, 1, if I can use this amp and 2, flashjim's ib's blow away my 3mk3 and 25-31 pci.
(I think i already know the answer to #2)

Naturally it will work. It's a good amp for sure.

IXL 18s are single 4Ohm VC drivers. You'd either run it 4 Ohm stereo or 8 Ohm bridged. The ce2000 would give each driver 660 watts in either configuration. More than enough in an IB.

You and me both. This build is taking me forever. I have two manifolds to build and I only have enough clamps to do one or two panels at a time. Glue, wait. Glue, wait.
