Diesel Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hi,I'm looking for a PA amp, rack mounted 1400w or above.

Diesel Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 What ohmage are the speakers you're wanting to run?Not yet secured. Currently looking at a few - Probably 8ohmsEdit : And the startled face that inadvertantly appeared, sums me up perfectly. I have shyed away from the PA side of things in the past, so I'm in over my head here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a 1400W into 8 amp and run a 4 ohm cab on it there's a fair chance you'll toast the speakers/x-over with the extra power unless you're very careful. If get a 1400W into 4 amp and try to run an 8 ohm speaker you'll be hideously underpowered and may well toast the speakers trying to get the amp to over-perform and going into clip.

I don't think I've ever seen a power amp with an impedance selector, only backline amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
