[QUOTE="Mitch Miller, post: 141127, member: 2673"] Re: iNuke nu3000DSP outputs when in bridged mode I might not be understanding the specs. (or the math). From the specs (see Mark's post for reference), as separate channels, into an 8 ohm load, each side can only deliver a max of 440 watts. Since these drivers can handle 300 watts RMS (and without an actual spec. sheet to read from, assuming peak = 4x RMS), these guys should be able to handle the occasional 1200 watt hit. Run running bridged mono, this amp claims to be able to deliver a max of 3000 (split across two drivers in my config, 1500 watts each). With the amp's DSP limiter in place at 1200 watts (600 each), it'd seem that I would be gaining from a max of 440 watts (max, per channel, separate channels) to 600 watts peak (limited, bridged mono). Okay, so one could say that going from 440 to 600 watts isn't a hugely significant increase in volume. (However, if I wanted to chance it and set the limiter to 2400 watts, that'd be nearly a 3x increase in power from 440; I honestly don't think I want to apply that much power without an actual spec. sheet for the driver.) Have I made some bad assumptions or done bad math here? I really appreciate all the input from you guys. Thanks again, Mitch [/QUOTE]
