Gonna power them with a Crown CTS4200 (185x4 or 500x2) to go along with my 4 EV SX100+'s.

Here's a better pic of one, stolen off the web. Mine look good, with only a few scuffs, but they've been repainted:

"Your going to need a bigger boat."

I ended up paying my friend with a E150 to help me get them home...they have to travel a flight of stairs to get in and out of my basement anyway (2nd floor apartment or basement-basement has room) so it's a two man job. Eventually I want to get a trailer and a hitch for my existing boat.

I'd work for audio! What is the E150, a JBL woof of some sort?

The 4695 Cabaret has a spiritual successor in the new JBL JRX100 series subs. I have a current model JRX118S passive sub with 18 inch woofer. Bought it (used) for a HT setup that never came to be. Hooked it up for a listen and found the cabinet is too small so the woofer sounds congested. I bet the 4695's generous size would pay dividends here.

The E150 is a giant Ford van. His even has a lift. Very nice when moving 150 pound subs. I drive a Buick park Avenue, so there's no way they'll fit in it.

I've listened to the JRX125's quite a lot and I think they're okay....somewhat cheap tho. A local acapella group I was building a system for ran outta money so I had them buy the JRX125's for now, and with some EQ they sound quite acceptable. I've never heard the 118s, but can imagine that they'd sound as you describe. The 4695's were demo'd without crossovers from a yamaha powered mixer...and even then they were wall-shakers. With some proper processing I can expect they'd be incredible.

The E is from the old ECONOLINE name, dating to the early 1960s as a Ford Falcon size, engine in cab delivery vehicle. Chevrolet introduced their van as a rear-engine model derived from Corvair it seemed to me. Trucks and vans built on compact car chassis emerged around 1959-60 and formed the basis of the vans to this day.

[vinyldavid]

Then I might be wrong, but I thought it was an E150. BIG van, bigger than some conversion vans I've seen.

[Warped Bezel]

No, same thing. Ford dropped the name for the E a few years ago.
