Rig of DOOM

[thebean]

You're cool. You're running bi-amped which means you're using the two different amps in your head. Thus why the manual says 2X. One side is going at 4ohms, the other at 8ohms. Bridging your amp merges the two power amps together.

If the amp manual says it can run 2 ohms, it can run 2 ohms, solid state or not.

The Rig of doom title has been taken...This is an older picture of my 1515/66's 3800 watts, kinda loud too...

Now that's insane!

 

[Plstrns]

3800 watts sounds insane, yes. In reality it's just half again as loud as 950 watts with the same speakers. Roughly 16x quality 10's @ full power.

E(0)adg tuning has it's challenges.

I turned it up max once...once. It's like getting a concussion while listening to music.

That is freakin' Awesome!

Yeah, with that kind of power he's able to do what 3 to 4 SVT 810 cabs can do when driven fully - and he has more low end and upper end as well when doing that.

With my fEarful stack I've only been three woofers and two 6.5" drivers scared, at one of my gigs. This guy is insane. er. Insaner. ; }

You are pushing so much air, I use to have a old Ampeg 70's 8x10. Damn near blew my bed room windows out.

I may or may not have confused the problem with that of a tube poweramp. Solid state doesn't like too low an impedance, so I guess you're probably fine. But don't take my word for it.

Actually my understanding is that it's output transformers vs. OTL. Mostly tube amps have output transformers though, so it's a good rule of thumb.
