[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 23231, member: 67"] Re: Time to upgrade my amps... The RMS limiter has a default (and configurable) attack time of 10 sec. Setting it to 2400w. will ensure it never engages. Unless he's doing EDM or some genre with continuous, high level LF, I would dump the RMS limiters entirely and use the peak voltage limiters, somewhere in the 110-130v range. If Matt needs the RMS limiters, I'd suggest 1200w to start with and monitor with System Architect to watch how often the limiters kick in. It is possible to screw yourself with the ITech limiters.. you can keep a continuous amount of power running to the subs and still suck the life out of them. Eventually the coils will start to fail. If one is into RMS limit on a continuous basis, either the setting is wrong or there's Not Enough Rig for the Gig™. Have fun, good luck. Tim Mc [/QUOTE]
