500 watt... a lot of power I think it is for professional use... in this case the best is to make separate ampli to use with an electronic crossover (usually PA do it) you'll have a lot of advantages.. by the way a good starting project you'll find in Mr. Rod Elliot' s site at this address http://sound.westhost.com/project68.htm
Is it for home use? Maybe a UcD400 or 700 when it is released will do?RogerG said:I'm wanting to build a pair of 500/8 mono's. I can't find anything on the web about building one this powerful. Can you guys help?

OK, UcD400 will give you 3 dB less than your specifications but 125 dB may be enough

rinox said:Edl.... excuse me but isn' t really good to bridge, beacause the really impedance viewed from bridged amply become an half of the real, so you must make an amplifier that will work without problems into 2 ohm or less... at this power is just painfull
In this case he wants to drive an 8 ohm speaker so each amp will only see 4 ohms which is not a particularly bad challenge. I agree with you if he wanted to drive a 4 ohm load though.
Thank you all!
I was thinking about a bridged pair. But would like to only build 2 amps.
They are for home use. Driving PylePro 15's @ 500wrms/750peak/8, horn loaded. A carver m400 and ampzilla II have both given up trying to drive them hard.
I thought 100+ rail voltage would be the case. The MJ15024/25 with MJ15030/31 drivers were an idea. I have used them as replacements in pro gear before.
I have all ways repaired or, modified gear. This is my first design plan. I'm just thinking about the outputs for now. Input and VAS will come after I know what it will take to make this kind of power.
Thanks again

sorry, I don' really speak english, so I don't understand your post. my question then is that now you would like to bulid two 250W/4ohm amps for bridging, or one 500W/8ohm amp?
