[QUOTE="Alan Sledzieski, post: 59891, member: 1022"] Re: PA System Power - Overloading Circuits Well using one amp would mean you be in mono as far as sound, not stereo. 1 side of the amp for subs, the other for mid highs, so i don't think the loss of stereo imaging would be worth the ease of using 1 amp. I use the crest pro -200 series amps on everything now. I can tell you this much. I run two of the 8200's bridged on 1 20amp circuit running two double 18's. I have tripped a 20 amp circuit once with a guy running a double kick, and i was leaning on it pretty hard. I run a 9200 in stereo on my mids, 2 15's per side, a 8200 on the horns, all my processing, along with the band, on another 20 amp, never tripped it yet. I would look into 2 amps, Crest 8200 bridged into 4 ohms would give you about 4500w for low end. A 9200 in stereo on the top into 8 ohms would be 1300w into each box. Are you buying new or used?
