Hello,
I currently have an active open baffle system with an Mark Audio Alpair 10 as a full range driver and 4x Eminence Beta 15a (2 per channel).
At the current moment the system is disabled as I have just moved house, but I am looking to rebuild.
Previously I used a Marantz 1070 (with direct power amp inputs) to power the 4 woofers in parallel and an integrated tube amp to power the full rangers.
I now wish to move the tube amp to a different system and use the Marantz to power the full rangers.
This leaves me with what to power the woofers with.
Currently I'm toying with the idea (mainly due to the cost) of using a class D board such as the TK2050 or the TAS5630 for the woofers.
The questions I have are:
What would the best suited board be for this type of application?
The woofers are 8 ohm each and rated for 300W of power.
I plan to redesign the active crossover, but the woofers will be playing up to about 200 or 300Hz.
I was considering running each woofer separately off the 4x100W TK2050 board or running them in parallel off the 2x300W TAS5630 board.
I have so far only looked thoroughly on ebay, so most boards are by Sure Electronics.
I would buy the appropriate Meanwell power supply.
I'm very open to a different board that would be better suited too.
Thanks in advance for your help.
