Why 2 x VR1000ds?? How about a single crossfire VR2000d ?

Or a single VR4000d

HOLY SHEET!!!! When did the 4000 come out? That's gotta be a monster!

I don't actually know if they are out yet, but the Crossfire website says 2004.

two 1000d's because theirs two on ebay for a total 200 less than buying one 2000d.. think its worth it or just use two 1000d'S?

2 used VR1000d for $200 less than a single new VR2000d ?

Also have to factor in the extra wiring/power wire, space etc.

As I understand it the 2000 is 2 x 1000's under the same heat sink. (I could be wrong tho).

You are correct. I was just about to mention the extra cable as well. $200 not worht it to me. Plus you save some space and install issues using 1 vs 2, and less signal loss.

I'm not sure if this is directed towards me, but my guess is it is in reference to my "TheHammer" nick name.

This name is not taken from the TRu Technology amp, but from the 1996 Stephen King movie "Thinner". The Characters name played by Joe Mantegna "Richie Ginelli" aka "Richie The Hammer" is where the name came from... since my first name is Rich.
