Yea. That's what I mean. But I thought they used the same motor as well. Maybe just the motor XBL^2 stuff. I'm getting old and alzhiemers is catching up.

The XXX was XBL^2. and I'm pretty sure the RMS was around 1000, maybe 1200. I really don't think they got much higher than the W7 till the newer style came out.

Yeah, thats exactly what I was thinking.

With my memory being what it is (and we all know it's not

)...
Anyway, I believe that the original was at 1200w rms... So best bet for a replacement would be just to throw 1000w at it and call it a day :)

Ive seen some numbers and I think like everybody else it was 1200ish.

So just do like Micheal said and throw a K at it and it should be fine.

It really depends on the box.

I'd say you'll be fine with 1,000-1,200 watts.

Im pretty confident they were rated at 1200 WRMS overall.

Just to throw a wench in the plans I'd say 2,800 WRMS

just my opinion...
