     I really enjoy the punch of a kickdrum. I've always been annoyed at
    the lack of punch and clarity of the kickdrum(s) when heavy bass
    guitars and/or low freq synthesizers are being used. It's tough to
    disern if the problem is the driver's shortcomings, or if the amp is
    running out of headroom (I'm not talking about budget equipment, or
    earsplitting volume). It seems to me the solution is to use a 15"
    woofer with it's own amp for all frequencies below the kick drum,
    and a pair of 8" woofers with their own amps for the kick drums. I
    just don't know where to cross them over.
