It's not for home subwoofer use, so make sure you are buying this for the right application

70v transformers roll off the bass frequencies, so I can't even imagine how a sub would be made to run on a 70v system.

Pros and Cons
So not only are you going to pay hundreds of dollars more for the 70v feature that you are not going to use, but Joe Homeowner is not going to own any Phoenix Ferrules, or the specialized Phoenix Crimpers to make up the custom cables.
Using non-standard or hardwire connectors is great in a bar, office building or school, where you don't want the janitor to try and "fix" anything. Or in a bar, when you don't want anyone plugging into the house sound system.
But it's a needless complication in a home when you are troubleshooting or swapping out equipment.
If you don't need the 70v, there are plenty of other Crown amps for less cash.
If you do want to hook up a bunch of 70v speakers in a chain, this is a good amp for that!
