[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 19199, member: 34"] Re: Need SUB help... Mr Audio East You need to change your name. It appears you missed the entire point of what Vinny is trying to do. He's looking for [I]lighter [/I]amps, not bigger, heavier ones than he has. :lol: There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a giant amp, even on the tiniest driver, it is all a matter of limiting. Obviously, the MacroTech i series has excellent 2-stage limiting built-in, and would be a great match for any driver from 2 watts to 2000. In fact, the extra peak power would help him to get more "punch" out of his subs (without blowing them or exceeding RMS power), as a kick drum doesn't have much heating potential for the voice coil, but bass guitar and synths do. Your experience seems to be limited to the old "heavy iron" amps and analog crossovers, in which case, limiting doesn't exist, and matching amp wattage to load power capacity is far more critical. Vinny, I'd be happy to stop by and assist you with Smaart and your subs. Due to room modes, testing subs in your basement is nearly impossible, as moving 2 feet could change the perception of sub loudness. You need to do your comparison outside. [/QUOTE]
