[QUOTE="Uniz Kazz, post: 13219, member: 9975"] Hi all, First post so be nice lol. Looking into getting a DSL system and powering it with Powersoft amps. Currently have my eye on 2x SH96 and 2x DBH218. I've been running self powered systems so far and don't have any experience in powered amplifiers. However the more I read, the more confused I get about how to go about powering passive cabinets as everyone seems to have a different opinion on just how much power is required and what is safe. Could anyone recommend to me how I would go about powering this system? SH96 : (single K20 seems to be a good match for a pair?) Input Power Rating/ Output Rating (Continuous): 1400 W/ 133 db SPL Input Power Rating/ Output Rating (Peak): 5600 W/ 139 db SPL Nominal Impedance: 8 ohms DBH218: (the switchable ohms adds further confusion for me.. does that change what I need to look at when I'm reading amp specs?) Input Power Rating/ Output Rating (Continuous): 3,600W/ 141 db SPL 4,000 W Input Power Rating/ Output Rating (Peak): 14,400W/ 147 db SPL 16,000 W Nominal Impedance: 1x 2 ohms / 2 x 4 ohms Would appreciate any light that can be shed on this. I generally have understood that I should be looking at having double the CONTINUOUS power rating available at the same OHMage?
