The system above would take some
time to get fully posted on this website as it is much larger than shown in
this picture. To give you an example, all the Hurricanes you see in the left
rack are all EXtreme ASL Hurricanes amplifiers and what you see is ONLY ONE
CHANNEL. There are 3 more EXtreme Hurricane amplifiers for the right channel
as well.
