Holy earthquakes Batman! If I were in your shoes I'd have to try it all out together. There would be no balance in my life unless I did.Munjibunga said:

So, How many watts do you have?

Ashley BP41 preamp with crossover
QSC 1602 500w/side x 2 total 1000w @ 4 Ohms
Flite 1) 15" with mid, not used since I'm crossing over at 130hz
Flite 2) 10" with tweeter
Plenty of oomph!

1. Your wattage must come from one set-up. So, if your head can't handle that extra cabinet laying around then it's not included.
Power amp: Crest Pro8200
(4,500 watts bridged & 1,450 a side @ 4 Ohms)
Heads:
Thunderfunk (400 @ 4 Ohms)
Merlin (600 @ 4 Ohms)
2. Extra points for telling us your set-up.
Power Amp:
Crest Pro8200
Preamps:
Millennia STT-1 Origin,
Millennia TD1
Alembic FX-2
Read Purity (on order)
Cabs:
Too many AccuGroove configurations to write down
However, I can push 2 El Whappo & 2 Whappo Grande cabs with one power amp; hence the term; Spontaneous bowel combustion.

I have a few rigs, but here's the one I've been using lately:
Read Purity Preamp
Stewart World 2.1 Power Amp
Bergantino NV610 speaker cab
If I wanted to I could bridge the Stewart into that cab, in which case I'd get 2100 watts. But using just one channel has worked great so far... that's 700 watts, roughly.

280W at 8 ohms
Warwick Streamer Stage I fivestring (1991) > Peavey T-Max head > Bag End Q10-XD
By the way: it is LOUD!!!
Invalid Link Removed
(I once had a D10B-D on top of the Q10-XD, but sold it. I needed the money for the 4.10". That delivered about 500W (because the T-Max gives you 550W @ 2 ohms) and its load was [4 + 8 = 8/3] = 2.7 ohms) But the power didn't devide itself properly over the cabs anyway, so I sold the box!)

sorry no pics
having 3 different rigs.
1: ampeg V4BH +412 (100w)
2: audex TR50 +212 (50w)
3: SWR 220 + 1x8+1x10 (220w)
the TR50 mostly for rehearsals and ampeg or swr for gigs but that little 50w sounds so good i´ve been thinking of using it on stage too.

Ampeg B5r 350 Ampeg watts @ 4ohm, 500 watts at 2 ohms
2. Extra points for telling us your set-up.
Bass: 99 Fender Am Std Jazz Maple neck, Cort Artisan B4 Fretless
Cabs: Avatar 2X12 (4ohms)
We normally have PA support with thousands of watts and under-stage subs, which does not suck. my setup is mostly for stage volume. In any event, I clearly need more watts.

The "big rig" is running 3,000 watts as follows:
XWire + Aggie DB680 + QSC PLX3002 (1500w / channel x 2)
4 x Acme Low B2s @ 4ohms (2ohm load on each channel)
I usually get by with the one of the following smaller setups:
Aggie DB680 + DB728 (all tube, 400w) into two of the Acmes
Trace V8 (all tube, 400w) into two of the Acmes
EBS Fafner (500w) into just one of the Acmes

I like the look of those cabs, Passinwind.

main rig:
Roscoe or ATK -> rack (Furman, XWire, J-Retro stompbox or POD, Mesa Stereo Strategy 500 (200 tube watts per side)) ->
OR
Jazz -> VBass -> Mesa Strategy ->
2x Mesa Powerhouse Jrs.
Hoping to finish up my effects rack and add a real preamp VERY soon.

Around 300W.

I can't think of a situation where it wouldn't be enough.
All these big rigs seem so powerful, 1000W, 2000W, etc, until you compare them with other stuff... It's a bit humbling when you consider that the average compact car puts out around 75000W! 
Nice gear, everybody!

Last nights gig=Crest LT2000, 2000 watts-1000 to Bergantino 322 cab and a 1000 to a Bergantino 212 cab. This morning= 0 watts into five melted speakers. This is definitley going to leave a mark.....
1000 W system 1
800 W system 2
600 W system 3
500 W system 4
100 W system 5
System 1 is:
Bass -> EA iAMP800 -> EA CXL112 || PMK w/ EV 15L Pro Line || Trace Elliot 2103 X (900 W here)
Headphone out of iAMP int GK 200 MB w/ updated power supply
System 2: iAMP 800 in PMK and Trace (vintage sound) or PMK and CXl112 (moden sound)
System 3: iAMP 800 in CXL112 + heaphone out in GK (light 2x12" system / w two pre-amps: iAMP preamp for fretted bass and GK preamp for fretless. I go from the pre-out into the stereo in of the iAMP, from the Headphone or the Line out into the effect return of the GK (headphone out causes ground loop), but its O.K. for high volumes)
System 4: iAMP800 in CXL112 (most used system)
System 5: GK 200
