The main disadvantage is going to be their power output. The driver selection that was around when these amps were produced is far different than todays inefficient, power-hungry selection of quality drivers.
There's still some great performer's to choose from but the selection with your power available is going to be reduced significantly. |
The only disadvantage I see is lack is lack of Xovers on the D's.
Since when is 50x2 + 240x1 (1 D100 + 1 D200) not enough power? |

Short answer: Since about 1995 |
^ lol, I totally agree. Since power got cheap, speakers have become inefficient. :ohwell:

I also have a couple of audio control EQL equalizers and a Soundstream DX3 X-over.If I bridge the D200's I get 240 per 10" sub,the D100"S for 4 mids and the class A 50's for 4 tweeters.I had these amps in an 89 bird for 16 years.It was competative in the early 90's.
