[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 122418, member: 67"] Re: matching amp with speakers Most likely you simply drove the rig too hard. Shit doesn't blow up unless you turn it up beyond the design capabilities of the speakers. Also, when you put an amp in bridge mode you increase the gain by 6dB, meaning an input of only 0.37volts will drive most amps (those with 1.4v sensitivity is stereo mode) to Full Tilt Boogie. If you were setting a console output level based on seeing the mixer's meters in a particular position, you'd be waaaaay over-driving relative to an amp in stereo mode. Repeat after me: speakers die because we try to make them go louder and/or lower than they are designed for. They die of thermal abuse or mechanical damage or sometimes a combination of both. But it's not the Fates that determine what happens... [/QUOTE]
