+1 on what Fred said. If what you have is not doing it you need BIG comercial speakers.

You might also look into QSC amps & speakers.  I'm working at a job that's mostly QSC AD-S82H speakers that have been installed outdoors near the coast for about 5 years and still going strong.

QSC has 8ohm & 70v options...

At the risk of beating a dead horse, the Speakercraft speakers state they are rated at 89 dB at 1 watt, 1 meter. The speakers I am thinking about are rated at 98 dB at 1 watt, 1 meter.

9 dB is quite a bit of ground to make up. The speakers I am thinking about have a maximum spl of 130 dB. Your speakers don't specify maximum spl, but by extending power numbers, I expect you may be able to hit 110 dB with your device ILS.

Hey NEZBO,

How long is your USB cord for the HiQ input on the Crown amp? As much as I dig the DSP on Crown amps, I hate the USB. I want ethernet control so I can be in the yard via wi-fi.

Are you somehow accessing this port via ethernet? If so, I'd like to know how. Thanks.

I always thought it was WLS but I guess ILS works also. :)

A friend of mine installed a pair of Community W2-218 and a Community sub in his yard, if you closed your eyes you would think you were at a live concert. It played LOUD and with excellent sound.
