Ya that 700 series 2 will clipp at about 650 a side into 8 ohms. Had them before.
Hey ken. May sound crazy but I think you will obtain better sound with the 400 lb westlake if you get them up there in height. If you notice in studios how many times do you see them on the floor.. Not many. My wife talked me into suspending my 4435 from the ceiling. The hooks are already there from the studio they came from. something to think about. By the position of the bass ports on your westlakes id say they were designed for high mounting. Im going to install cross members in the attic for mine.
