A few years ago I picked up a pair of Pinnacle ac 850’s from Craigslist and I must say they are fantastic! A bit light on the bass for my taste but they sound perfectly crisp.
A few days ago at a small house party the amplifier got turned up too high and the subwoofers got blown out. What drivers will make a good replacement for the subwoofers? Also, I have them paired with a Yamaha rx-v381 amplifier giving 2 channels ~70watts at 8ohm, so they’re somewhat underpowered. I’m also taking recommendations on amplifiers, but am trying to keep my spending to a minimum!
Pinnacles doesn’t seem to give out much information about the driver, but their website gives:
“Component Drivers:
1" liquid cooled aluminum dome tweeter
8" fibercone woofer with rubber surround
Frequency Response: 30-21 kHz (+/- 3 dB)
Crossover Frequency: 2.2 kHz
Recommended Amplifier Power: 15-250 Watts RMS per channel
Operative Power Range: 5-125 Watts RMS Continuous, 375 Watts Peak
Sensitivity: 93 dB (2.83 Volts Pink Noise @ 1 Meter)
Nominal Impedance: 8 Ohms
Dimensions: 9 5/8" Wide x 25 5/8" High x 10 3/4" Deep”
Will any 8 ohm woofers within this power range (that will fit in the cabinet) work? Should I pay attention to sensitivity?
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum - posted in another forum but got no response
