So loud I can't crank it all the way, otherwise it causes the drum set to 
double trigger or mistrigger because of the vibrations!  The power supply on 
this amp seems to have a very high damping factor (ability to accurately 
control the specific movements of the speaker cone - if the sound needs to 
stop, it needs to stop NOW, not a few microseconds later).  You have to push 
the amp really good to get the 15" subwoofer's voice coil clanging against 
the back of the magnet, which you get with very low frequencies if the amp 
isn't strong enough or tight enough.
