4 Channel PA head with two speakers. Each housing a 10" driver and a 2"X 6" horn. 60 watts. Simple,but very functional with a master section that pulls everything in well.

I was worried that the 10"ers wouldn't handle the lower frequencies from my drum machine, but it does very well. I run a Yamaha RY8 drum machine in one channel, and Zoom 9000 guitar effects processor through another channel. I play all kinds of music (mostly my own David Gilmourish style) through it. I play a "91 Fender American Statocaster, "97 Fender American Telecaster, plus others at times. It has a nice well rounded sound and is very clear.

There were problems when it arrived, but please read my remarks in customer support section. I don't gig out, just jam at home and do a little recording on a Tascam Porta 7 - 4 track recording deck.

Oh, there you are. These people at Kustom (HHI) are great. When the PA
arrived, I set it up immediately and found that one of the speaker cables was defective. Then, I discovered that one of the horns was not working. I called them the next day and talked to a very helpful woman, who said she'd send me out a horn and cable right away. When they came, and I opened the cabninet up, I discovered that the only problem was that one of the wires wasn't connected to the speaker. Now I have an extra horn, which is cool cuz I heard horns go out frequently.

For what this system cost, it's amazing. The only thing I would like to see in this system is a little more volume, but for my use, it's just fine.
