too tell you the truth... yesterday; after i spent the afternoon ripping out the old an installing the guts of the behringer, i couldn't get the digital output on my mobo to work. I ended up pulling out the computer to trouble shoot inside. I finally figured out my error but it was too late to get the computer back in. I'll update everyone when i finally get this thing buttoned up.

I'm a difficult person to impress, Scott, but pics of your system get me every time. Truly an excellent install. Some day I'm gonna pick your brain about it.

sorry, i forgot the most important part:
as far as the setup... no it's not band equipment!
for the pc: via epia m10000
harddrive: 80 gb 3.5" desktop h/d
ram: 512 mb
lcd screen: modified xenarc 7" (upgraded the touchscreen so it wasn't as foggy as well as having the actual lcd screen converted to a transflective screen so it's direct sunlight readable)
"soundcard": behringer dcx2496 (handles x-over, time alignment, and eq)
amps: -two Phaze Audio td1500 (built by bk butler) one for the tweeters, one for the mids
-zapco ref 500 for the sub
phaze is no longer in business but butler audio still makes great automotive tube amps)
speakers:
dyn audio md130 large format tweeters (8 ohms)
seas g18rnx/p 7" mids (8 ohms)
tc-sound tc-9 12" sub (2 ohms)
