[QUOTE="Paul OBrien, post: 208155, member: 7285"] Are the gain controls on the amp all the way up? If not you are likely clipping the input stage of the amp before reaching full output power. The NU6000(is that your amp?) produces about 550w/ch RMS at 16ohms.. that is an educated guess based on the published spec of 1100w/ch RMS at 8 ohms. And they are rated at 150w continuous 300w peak so you have more than enough amplifier to get full output from these boxes. Not really. The Mackies have a long term rated output of 123dB at 1m while a single Seismic box can manage 118dB continuous(add 6dB for the pair) assuming the published specs are reliable. That is a very big assumption given this brand but never mind that for the moment, the bottom line is you gained no meaningful increase in speaker output with this investment and a bigger amp won't help it will just lead to the death of the speakers.
