Should have worded that better. I was not impressed with the overall volume the speaker put out. I had no complaints on the quality of the sound, I just felt the 7.1 speakers never reached the overall volume level I was expecting. I never tried a different amp with the speaker though.
hmmm...to me the volume is VERY loud when set at more than 1/2 while at highway speed. Any higher than 3/4 and it's painful (still sounds clean though). Hard to say what might be the issue you seem to have. You have 250W/ch vs my 180 so I would think it should be plenty loud. Maybe give the folks at BT a call?
I would recommend you check out the Hertz 1000 watt amp I think it would be great for your setup you are wanting. Volunteer Audio has a great plug and play setup with great videos.
