I also fitted mine today but bought somethng cheaper (Macaudio components) . But the adapters were not actually designed for omega so had to convert them. It was a really pain in th e.. job but I'm happy with the result

Look to the VIBE amplifiers, they were designed especially to run those speakers !!
