@jimbones , FWIW, polarity is also known as absolute phase. I'm **not** talking about that, instead the phase of just one speaker as opposed to both. We might be talking the same thing, but since there is a bit of interpretation here I thought it a good idea to be certain.
Is my amp the problem?
I recently decided to bi-amp my speakers so I purchased a crown xls 1002. (225w 8 ohm). I am driving a 10 woofer. It sounds horrible. I can't seem to get it to put out much power despite its rating even when I make all the right adjustments. Its a class D amp. Is that my problem? It just doesn't seem to have any Ba**s. Lol. Advice is appreciated.

Aux i got a HCA 1000. They are supposed to have high current capability. If I need to move up the ladder eventually Ill do so. The XO is a Pioneer SF 700. I will use it only as a low pass at approx 200hz. This is to compare with the mindsp re input impedance and output voltage. I am using a cap on the input of the Modwright as a hi pass. |
Yes, I would agree that the HCA 1000 would have better current capability than the Crown. Looks like it has 48,000 uf total capacitance (24,000uf per channel). Not a huge amount, but the amp is only 100w/8ohm. Crown XLS: http://s290.photobucket.com/user/iso_da_baric/media/IMG_3047.jpg.html Keep us posted how things work out! |

The question is, how is the bass then? |
