When is a speaker too damned big?

[Testosterone boy]

Hardly. You won't find Peavey equipment at a big show. Most big systems use woofers made by JBL, EV, Aura, McCauley, RCF, or B&C.

How did you acquite this knowledge?

Never know if someone just googled for info or has real world knowledge.

I had about 1400 watts blowng through some dual 18's today.

Tripped the circuit breaker on a pro DJ multi outlet.

Seemed quiet enough until I stepped a 100 yards away. Seemed louder then.

That is supposed to take 15 amps....which is about 1800 watts. I think I did have it cranked all the way as a matter of fact.

So.......my amp is bigger than your amp!

hah!

At the club we have two 5000 watt amps to drive eight 18" woofers, in a 300-capacity room.

1) Fuck you for spoiling my moment

2) Do you use these watts?

3) How do you prevent deafness?

4) Are you in the boonies? My neighbor (in the city) complained when I cranked one speaker for a few seconds to make sure everything worked.


Neighbors = the suck More concerned about what I do than with the fact they have not gone out in 16 years.

10's just sound tighter and meaner to me than 12's and larger.

Limit the input frequency with steep crossovers, give the amp constant and steady juice via a cap and separate battery, reinforce the box with resin and stuffing...you can squeeze some seriously siiiiick bass from a 10.

18's are only for competitions, utter junk noise.

wait, you're taking about home and stage systems? lol.

I'm talking about car audio maing

One 12 sounds tighter and deeper than two 12's. Two just makes everything louder and more obnoxious than it's single counterpart.

Could be a hardware problem.

Unless you just prefer mono over stereo.
