stick to the turantula series, that is one of the best they have...

I thought the Da Vinci susposed to be better..no???
Im gonna buy one of these amp probably today...kerosene, do you care to explain why the turantula is better than the Da Vinci??

from what ive used when i used to enter competitions, those always seemed to be the most stable, last longer, dont overheat as much as the others... I cant for sure say da vinci is bad, but my recommendation is stick with the tarantula series... but than agian, if you have the oppertunity to test em, see which you like....

the problem is..i cant test them. I know for a fact that the Da Vinci was a Limited Edition and was intended to be one of the best, but then again the TR800 specs is not bad...

OHHH its that feeling again...the vulnerable feeling of being unable to choose something..

gimmi 5 min ill call my m8, hes still in competitions so he will know

**** hes not around.... lemme look around and compare....

wow, that da vinci is very impressive but on subwoofer you only get 500 watts...is that enough?
