Guitar center had it for $699. Found it listed at Amazon for $599, Guitar Center matched the price and gave 10% off the difference, made it $589. Then I used a 10% OFF coupon I recieved in the mail from Guitar center, made it $531. QSC currently is offering a $100 mail in Rebate, that makes it......$431.00

Of course I couldn't beat the sales Tax :(

I will use the Amp to power a pair of Yamaha S115 speakers I purchased a couple of weeks ago.

The bar where I am at 2 nights a week has provided me with secure storage space, so I am puting together a second system to keep at the bar.

I will use my Yamaha EMX 512 and BR15's in a Mobile set-up.

My next purchase will be the new Mackie PRO FX12 Mixer, then maybe a Sub, another Amp, and an external crossover :mrgreen:

Just so you know the RMX1450 is pretty low power (in stereo mode) for the 115 needs. They need about 500 watts per channel into 8 ohms, the 1450 pushes 280 watts per channel into 8 ohms. If you ran the speakers in bridged mode in a parallel configuration, the amp would be more than doable as it would change the speakers to 4 ohms, changing their program power requirement to 1000 watts at 4 ohms. The 1450 bridged pushes 1400 watts at 4 ohms.
Nice solid amp and you got it for a great price, I run one bridged to my sub.

uuum...Lonman, the OP says 2450. An rmx 2450 is plenty to push those speakers. in fact it would over power them (a good thing)

I wish i had known about the amazon price when i bought mine last spring. they did knock $100 off the rack case i bought that day so i was pretty happy. I also got 15 months zero interest on it, so ill wright a check for it next spring after owning it free for a year. 6 year warranty was really hard to beat too.

If you looked he edited the post. It had stated the 1450 but realized he meant 2450 before I had made my post.
It wouldn't over power the speakers at all since the S115 needs 500 watts program. The 2450 pushes 500 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Perfect match up.

They are nice but sure are heavy!

For a mobile setup I would suggest a PLX 2502. It will save your back!

The Amp is real heavy (almost 45 pounds). The weight would have been a problem issue for me if I wasn't able to store it at my current venue.

For the last few weeks I have been running my new S115V's with my EMX512SC. I could instantly tell the sound was better than my BR15 speakers with the same amp. Don't get me wrong; EMX512SC + BR15'S is a great sounding set-up and will make an awsome mobile rig for me.

Tomorrow night I will get to use my new Amp for the first time :banger:

The cost discounts I was able to get made it easier on my wallet :) Although it will be a while before I can afford to get the Mackie PROFX12 mixer I want :( Until then I will use my EMX512SC as "just" a mixer.
