I have a Sunn SA21 power amp that is rated at 300 watts into 2 ohms per channel. This amp will run all night at 2 ohms, sound great and not even raise the temperature on the amp. Mackie and Crown are very repectable amps that will run into 2 ohms and not skip a beat. Kustom is much older and if you try to run into anything less than 4 ohms, the amp really gets funky. I bought a cabinet that has 4 ohm speakers that were originally wired in parallel to match a Peavey amp. When I connected it to a K200-B1 the amp sounded horrible. I rewired the speakers in series for 8 ohms and the rig sounds great on bass. The power output is less than 100 watts, closer to 75 but more than I need as I lne direct in to the sound board and use the PA to increse the sound levels. In early June, my son will be setting up the ultimate bass rig for a battle of the bands in our town. He will be running a K200 into 2 3x15's with the Sunn amp as a slave for the second cab. He can't wait.
