[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 42376, member: 172"] Re: QSC GX3 - Is it enough for my horns? Nope. When roasting drivers, what matters is energy delivered to the driver minus what the driver can dissipate as heat. So the energy delivered by the waveform matters, but the exact shape does not. A squarewave delivers double the energy of a sinewave with the same magnitude (or the same energy as a sinewave with a magnitude 1.4 times as great). So when you drive an amplifier into clipping, you end up delivering more power to the driver than the amplifier's rated sinewave output. [/QUOTE]
