Hi!
I just acquired a rather old speaker Cerwin Vega HT-S5 (2 unit) and the subs HT-10D.
Here is the spec:
HT-S5: Power handling 60watts, 8 ohm, 91db. FR: 125hz-20Khz
HT-10D: Power handling 100 watts, 8 ohm, 93 db. FR: 40hz-125hz.
Data were taken from the manufacture.
So I figure the whole system needs (2x60)+100 = 240 watts, adding headroom (from what I read 50%) then it would be around 360 watts.
These speakers have cross over build-in, L/R source > subwoofer > L/R speaker. This is the back of the subs looks like.
I think the HT-10D is 100 watts per channel (showed in the manual)
My questions:
1. How much the sub can take? 100 watts in total or 200 watts in total?
2. Let say the sub take 100/200 watts, how much will be pass on to the left and right speaker?
3. I'm planning to use TDA7498E Kit (160wattx2), will it be okay?
I tested the speaker with TPA3116D2 on mid-volume, just to see if the speaker works ( it works and sounds great), but I think it's under power and I don't want to damage the speaker.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is what would be the best way to bring out this speaker to somewhat its full potential without breaking the bank.
