Had me all excited when I saw a PA thread, but opened it up and found PA was power acoustik.

I'd go with the second one, by the specs, but I think the spec given for the subsonic filter is incorrect [img]smile.gif[/img]

I have a PA Fire n Ice 1600 which from my understanding is identical to the Gothic OV2-1600 except it has some years on it,, works well with my W3's

I emailed them about 10 times to find out something simple like the fuse sizes *how many and no one ever got back to me on it...I even called and was told someone would email/call you back never happend, so I figured forget it then I was looking at the OV2-1200 I think may have been the 1600.
