@ roberjerman… good thought on the Crown. In fact I have the XLS1502 and am looking for an upgrade from there.
Class-D recommendation
Looking for a class-D recommendation for the base portion of a multi-amp system w/ active xover. The amp will be powering a pair of 15" 4Ohm woofers from 30 - 600Hz. Need at least 400W, very high damping, and clean into the midrange. Everything above 600Hz is taken care of by a class-A amp. I would prefer to spend <$2k used.

tinear123 OPYou’ve got the right amp there for the mids and highs, for the bass and lower mids a Class-D is a good cheap choice. All Class-D’s do bass well between 8-4ohms, (most get current starved around 2ohms) so your ok with your bass units being 4ohm I would even give a 3000w Behringer a trial for around $420 from major outlets, with those you can usually take them back for a small restocking fee. And with those Behringers they have input level controls so you can get the gains matched with the Class-A you have. https://www.storedj.com.au/behringer-nx3000-ultra-lightweight-3000w-class-d-power-amplifier Cheers George |
I have a Legacy Audio PowerBloc2 available that would work nicely. 650w into 4 ohms and 1000 damping factor. https://legacyaudio.com/products/view/powerbloc2/ |
I just bought one of these for a 15" sealed box sub I am building to go with my Vandersteens (to complete my bass swarm with the two Velodyne subs I have already) https://www.parts-express.com/crown-xls-1002-drivecore-2-power-amplifier-2-x-350w-at-4-ohms--245-507... 1,100 watts x 1 (4 ohms) |
