Anyone ever use Carvin TRx118N subs & DCM3800L?

Just purchased (2) of the Carvin TRx118N subs (800w RMS @ 8 ohms) and Carvin DCM3800L power amp (3800w RMS @ 4 ohms bridged) for our "small/medium club" low-end system.
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with either. We're going to give them a shot Friday but was hoping to get some input before then.

I wouldn't run that amp bridged into those cabinets without using proper limiting/DSP.
The safest way without limiting would be to run the amp stereo (1-cab per channel) which would be powering those cabs right at there RMS limit.
If that doesnt provide enough bottom end for your needs you will need more/better/bigger subs...

Sorry for the extremely delayed reply. The subs and amp have been excellent. The only bad news is that t
he neos are being discontinued.
