Power Amp Question

justcallmemoses

I have two speakers at 1000 watts program
(500 watt rms @8 ohm each side)

Would the following spec power amp match the speakers??


Power Amp Specifications:
4Ω stereo: 2 x 500Wrms
8Ω stereo: 2 x 250Wrms
8Ω bridged: 1 x 800Wrms
Max power: 1600Wmax @ 8Ω

What model are the speakers? and the amp?

justcallmemoses

peavey ul 15 tops (black widow version)

friend has a prosound 1600 power amp that I might borrow if suitable

cordragza

it'd do a job stereo wise anyway@ 250w

to get the 500w out of it you'd need 2 8ohm speakers on each side,
which would drop the impedance to 4ohms.

Depends on the pub, the tops are fairly solid, i'd be more questioning the quality of the Amp, Prosound wouldn't exactly be top of my list. RMS can be a bit of a minefield in terms of accuracy too, it tends to be overstated by manufacturers.

If you've the opportunity to try it first with the speakers, give it a go, it might be fine.

talking something around 500-650 watts rms @ 8 0hm regarding a power amp?

i'm thinking something that strong could be fairly pricey
