I need and amp to run two different subs in my HT rig. I've got a dual Parts Express 15 driver infinite baffle and a sealed Tempest sub. I would like to drive each off a different channel of the same amp. The amp would see a 4ohm load on each channel. IB drivers wired parallel and the Tempest VC wired parallel for 4 ohm loads.
I've been told that the PE drivers reach xmax with 170 watts each or a total or 340 watts together. The Tempest can do 750 on it's own. I would like to have double the power for headroom on the IB which means at least 700 watts. The Tempest will likely not be driven as hard because it will be located very close to the listening position. The same 700 watts for the Tempest should be fine.
Looking at measurements around the web on both the inuke amps it appears that output is reduced when under load. Also we know that Behringer's output claims are a bit inflated or at the least not realistic in the sub woofer band. At least not for more than a few seconds before internal limiting takes over to throttle the output.
I've even been contemplating going old school route with a class AB amp and MiniDSP instead for more available unrestricted output. But that said it's not like I play sine waves all the time. The subs will be used for HT and music duty only .
Anyone use the inukes like I plan to run dual mono and not bridged? Seems like to use them to their full potential they need to be run bridged. Seems like I remember seeing that the nu3000 does like 600 watts in stereo at 4ohms briefly before limiting.
