I have CS5i's and recapped the crossovers last year and made a MAJOR improvement to the driveability by going active on the subs. As part of the recap I drew out the huge crossovers and found that the 2 subs are done as augmentation woofers to 60hz where the 8" center woofer covers sub to 400. Basically all 3 are run in parallel at sub frequencies. There was only a single coil on the subs and it was super easy to wire them to a new binding post. I was able to single amp or biamp and the improvement is stunning. It also opened up them to using many other amps that did not need to cope with the 2 ohm bass load. I used an ICE amp on the subs and my ML 333 on the rest. SUPER dynamic now.

Great amp for these types of very hard loads, even if those figures below are a bit wishful, there are always losses. So exact doubling is impossible unless the 8ohm and 4ohm are understated to make the 2ohm look like it's doubling. Nº333 Rated power output 300 w/ch continuous rms power @ 8Ω 600 w/ch continuous rms power @ 4Ω 1200 w/ch continuous rms power @ 2Ω Cheers George |
My vote goes to D-Sonic Mine would too, when you compare the Class-D module to the $10k usd Rowland Contiuum2, as they are the same. Trouble is they both are Chinese subwoofer plate amp modules, and you could get them on Alibaba for $100 not so long ago. subwoofer amp https://ibb.co/Gkc84zV $10k Rowland Contiuum 2 https://ibb.co/sQ6hYzh X-Pro2 module https://ibb.co/c3DZCgf X-Pro2 measurments https://ibb.co/2qg3vs0 D-Sonic’s 3 different https://ibb.co/5rWCJvq |
Admittedly those Chinese modules above, have been "tickled" a little by Pascal, http://www.pascal-audio.com/products/ like EVS "tickles" the IcePower 1200as modules, just so it takes away from being stock off the shelf. From 6 MoonsSo red Dragons would also be ones that have the same module and they are cheap, under $1k I believe. https://www.reddragonaudio.com/collections/amplifiers |
