You're right, my bad. I was thinking rising as we go deeper, but I guess the standard is to go from left to right...
The XTI 1002 is rated for 700W at 2Ohm and 275 at 8 Ohm. I could of course run it bridged, but I'm planning to connect another sub to the other channel. I would presume that if the load is too much, it would start getting warm and the fan would spool up? So far, the fan hasn't even started running when testing and it feels warm to the touch, but not hot.
Thanks, you're right. The HP in my Crown can't be set lower than 20 Hz though.
I don't quite get this. From the formula for calculating QES, it seems to me that the changes in variables when going from parallel to serial connection should cancel each other out, so QES should stay the same?
@nPers You're 100% correct. Thanks for pointing that out.
Qes stays the same irrespective of whether a parallel or series connection is used. Changing from series to parallel reduces Re by a factor of 4, while BL is reduced by a factor of 2. As BL appears as a squared term in the formula for Qes, the two effects cancel each other out. The parallel connection results in a 6dB increase in voltage sensitivity. Apologies for my initial confusion with all of this.
