2000 Watts of Power and Clarity
With 2000 watts of explosive bi-amplified power and super high-performance transducers, this speaker will always play loud and clear, in any space, in any situation - whether you're performing, recording or rehearsing. The heavy-duty 8-inch low frequency driver really adds the "kick" to kickdrum.

Feature Packed - The BEST Amp to Power Your Drums!
The Strike Amp 8 has all the versatility and features needed to fit in anywhere and it's a snap to set up and use. You can use it vertically or tilt it back horizontally like a stage monitor. There's an XLR output to link another Strike Amp 8 or send your performance to another input device. Need to customize the sound for that "just right" tone? Use the Contour EQ control. And the (2) XLR/TRS 1/4-inch combo inputs with independent volume controls and clip indicator means there is virtually unlimited hookup versatility and you'll never unknowingly overdrive the speaker into distortion.
