No woofers, but each have a 20” passive radiator and 8 six inch midrange drivers.
If you were drawing say....1500 watts, which is unlikely, I would advise a second circuit. But your not....so bring down the house!...LOL
Seriously, I doubt you are having power issues. At least not with your amps..as to any sensitive computers or devices on the same circuit, I would not have any as they might be affected by the amps. (what we call dirty power)
But the amps don’t care about that...they eat anything..
Thanks.
Computers, printer, wireless base station are on the other side of the house, different circuit, and go through a UPS.
You need to get a Mac!
Oops, sorry. Wrong thread. ;-)
Well then....sounds like you are trying to fix something that ain’t broke....:-).(I do it all the time)
LMAO!!
Goodun!
Will it run SNOBOL4??
Depends on what else is on that circuit. He doesn’t say and he probably doesn’t know for sure.
Things on the other side of the house can still be on the same circuit. It depends on how the house was wired. Some circuits run the length of the house and branch off to receptacles and fixtures along the run.
I haven’t mapped out the whole house, but have manually tripped the breakers and confirmed that the two side I mentioned are on different breakers.
I get as nervous sometimes powering things down as powering them up!
Bigger speaker wire.
Already got Monster cable on it.
I could plug into the Grand Coulee dam with them now!
The eight midrange drivers are your ‘wooofer’. As I and others have said, enjoy. That’s a nice stereo.
Sounds to me that if your lights are dimming that the power amp is on the same circuit as the lights. Separate them. That’s one theory. Those are really. low impedance speakers. Line conditioner might help by keeping constant voltage. Just my .02
Rock on
Needs new xover rebuilds.
Modern electrolytic caps? Great!
30 year olds? Not so much...
One of the things that surprised me was earlier this year, my Sylvania DVD/CD player died. It was about ten years old.
So I git the Magnavox, and was IMMEDIATELY hearing way more of the engineering mistakes they did when they cut the original masters for the older CD’s.
You can easily hear it if they oversaturated, dubbings stand out more, it’s alot more obvious.
You are fine on the single circuit. However, not being funny, if you have light dimming going on while playing full blast, you have bigger problems than overloading that breaker. :-)
Ground loops (heard as a 60 Hertz hum) are a real power sucking bitch. If everything is working on one circuit, then that’s the easiest way to avoid ground loops.
You should worry far more about hearing loss than power loss. When you reach 55, and hear only about 70 percent of words that are spoken, sucking 450 watts through an 1800 watt culvert will be the least of your worries. Believe me, I know.
I run two 20 amp circuits for my amps from the box. I use the Monster Cable power conditioner from the wall to isolate the amps for noise.
