I'm going to be building an Icepower amp with the 300asc, and two 300ac modules.
According to the documentation, the power supply on the asc board can support two of the ac modules. My concern is from what I read in the spec sheets, it seems that the output of the power supply is limited to 300 watts as a whole. Does that mean if all modules are run they will be limited to output 100 watts each? Will I need to look into powering the ac modules with another more capable power supply to achieve the full potential?

If the power supply can only supply 300W then that is your limit. So one at 300W, two at 50W and one at 200W etc.
Hi,
Just received a pair of 300asc's today, will be fun to try them out:

Have you listened to them yet?

These are class D, you don't need a power supply capable of 300W continuous. It only has to supply such over the duration of the (rare) musical peaks. You won't be able to do full power sinewave testing on all channels simultaneoulsy, but that is nothing like how musical signals are.
Thanks everyone for your input, great information.
Sckramer: I just tried my ASC today, but it was just a bench test with a small speaker. It worked! When I get the AC module hooked up and can do two channel then I'll try some A/B comparisons and see what they can do.

Nice,
Recording my install, I eventually do talk in this video 😀

anyway, I did record the entire swap out (replacing the 200asc's)... will upload those later.
You should take pic's etc--
So you're building a 3 channel amp?

Yeah 3 channel was the original plan, only because I had the modules to do so. Now I may be taking a different route with the enclosure so it might be just two channel. I didn't really need that third channel anyway. I'll be sure to post some pics along the way.
