[QUOTE="Alan Sledzieski, post: 132943, member: 1022"] Re: Crest Pro-Lite Questions - Two 3.0 bridged or one 7.5 for a pair of Danley TH118 Yes as far as power, 20 amp crcuits. I prove current limiting all the time with my crest 8200's. I run 2 of them bridged on 1 20 amp circuit. A few times a night the acl light comes on. I've also put a amp meter on the circuit as a test, while the acl, clip light was lighting quite constant, like every hit of the kick drum. it was drawing 28 amps peaks for two amps, then way back down between hits. Now a 8200 is suppose to be 4500watts bridged, that would be 9000 for two. In 4 years I tripped 1 20 amp breaker playing at many different venues. I've tried bridging my ca 18's on subs, 2 per circuit. That never worked out. You stated, "Any amplifier with a maximum output greater than that on that size circuit MUST employ some form of current limiting," I'm pretty sure music is a lot less demanding then putting a amp on a bench and trying to get its rated outage for 5 seconds straight.. It just seems that these new lighter weight amps, at same given output power, power supplies shut down a lot faster then the old amps?? [/QUOTE]
