From your website
Are you kidding.... 10 18" woofers of any kind in any kind of room with an 8' ceiling look like MUCH.
Especially those woofers...
You must own a mint to afford that rediculis amount of equipment....
So tell me, Have you found the elusive brown note yet??? Or are your subs just not tuned low enough(myth suggests 8hz).

"I suggest that you consult an engineer whose expertise is in the noise control field. Hearing protection will only provide a maximum of 35 dB, beyond 35 dB bone conduction of noise provides the exposure."
.... the above from a random search of hearing damage on google.
If this is true, then we're into the level of "bone conducting" damage to your eardrums here, no matter how much protection you wear.
Wait a minute. What's the point of putting this much effort into output if you have to back away from it with hearing protection?
I just know someone is going to step in here and insist that it's not the level but the distortion that harms you.
Fine. I believe you. Really I do. ....... stop shouting

According to myth busters and their 20,000watt system there is no brown note yet, he was surrounded with heaps bass drivers either 12” or 15” I cant remember but nothing happend when they did a slow frequency sweep.
I’m not after real sound quality all I need is an amp as cheap as possable to drive a kicker solo x 18” which is around 5000w rms will the qsc amps do it?

some notable quotes from mark weiss, from this forum-

While listening to some Korean pop recording a while back, there was a spate of infrasonic rumble briefly and although inaudible over the loud music, I could feel the concrete slab I was standing on, lift and drop several times. That never happened with a dozen conventional woofers before
There it was, operating in a sub-terranian basement with walls up to 3' thick of reinforced concrete (Cuban Missile Crisis construction era) and two-tenths of a mile up the road I was measuring 97dB SPL just on what subsonic energy penetrated the walls. There is nothing like standing in a neighbor's house and feeling his livingroom floor shake from your bass down at the other end of the road! And the system wasn't cranked up very high because of the limit of two 20A circuit breakers. There was over 10dB of unused headroom during this test.
After watching a Mythbusters subwoofer test on Youtube, I was tinkering with the idea of finding some old house that's awaiting demolition and transporting this system to that location and videotaping the destruction of the house, with sound. And putting it up on Youtube. That would be a gas.

With all due respect to Meyer Sound, their array of "specially-modified" (removed the subsonic filter and plugged the vents) 700-HP subwoofers was probably not the right rig to use to produce the Disco Dump. Even that many unassisted 18" woofers, outdoors, can't really produce the kind of pressurization you'd need to create the disco dump. That was the impression on the LAB Sub board. Danley Sound Labs suggests that Mythbusters should revisit that myth, and then use the Danley-designed Sonic Boom Generator (an enormous six-enclosure, horn-loaded array based on fan-forced, rotary servo-valve technology) to produce the kind of levels they will need to achieve to cause the body to lose bowel control.
I agree with bam... Mythbusters have been all but genius about their sound investigations....
They could have put that array inside one of those shipping storange containers they always use to blow things up in and then stick jamie inside to see what would happen... then they might have found a pooey diaper

I had a QSC amp (I forget the model #) for a day.....it works OK for a HT sub, but the cooling fans were so loud I could hear them two rooms away!! I can't speak to the long term quality.....
I returned it the same day for a Crown XTi 1000 - no fan noise at all; at least I haven't worked it hard enough to get them to turn on.
EDIT: for the price, the Behringer EuroPower amps are pretty good. The EP1500 is USD $300 and the EP2500 is USD $350.
I have a friend that uses the EP1500 to drive a dual 15" IB setup that makes the house shake! He's had it for a while with no problems.
