46lbs all by itself? My back says no way.
Cerwin Vega has sat on their butts doing nothing for far too long to even be taken seriously anymore.
At $549USD the price is decent, but I wouldn't trust it long term. Crown and QSC are trusted, reliable, and half the weight. A comparable unit from Crown (XTi 2000) is 17lbs. It's a little more expensive, but well worth it, IMO.

in my country (Argentina) a Crown Xti 2000 costs U$ 1780. The Cerwin Vega costs U$650. Unfortunately not just a little more expensive.

Risky. CV could be good or bad.

Behringer EP4000 is known reliable, proven tech. Like the CV it's heavy, but in the States, at least, it's 40 percent cheaper.

Ouch! It's only $699 here.
OK then, that's a little different...

Thanks for the answers guys. I think the XTI 2000 is the one i need... And i think i can import it at a better price.
Checking out the prices in USA i just found a HOT DEAL.
In amazon costs U$499
it must be a mistake, cos thatīs the XTI 1000 price... HUrry up. Just 5 in stock.

You can find it everywhere else at U$ 699
