That and you have more speakers than a company show boat!!!

[Domsz06]

he he he

I want to do something different, but I really think I'll leave it alone, as I don't think I'll keep it except for the end of this year.

I would hate to see you with something like a RZ4. You would have to take all your speakers and then buy about 10 more to fill up all the space.

speaking of that, i'm going to uncover the boat and clean it up some this weekend, crank the tunes, top the batteries, hook my ballast up

lets just say that my boat is loud now, and when I get it tuned right nice. When I get my rz4 or 24ve it will be louder, (i'm going for louder then tim's demo boat )

Well, the 60's are rated to 150 RMS. The 80's are rated to 200 RMS.

A somewhat conservative approach would be to power them both with an amp that would deliver 150 watts RMS per channel into a four ohm load.

An approach that requires a little sobriety would be to go with an amp that matched the 80's and slightly over-powered the 60's. Emphasis here is on the word slightly.

I am not certain how Tim rates his speakers for power handling, but I suspect they would not have thermal issues in a slightly over-power condition. Just know that the COMBINATION of over-power and amplifier clipping will be a bad thing for the speakers for sure. We ought to double-check with him on the subject...

Finally understand, my position on the subject is an interesting one. I am personally okay with having an amp that is capable of putting out more power than the speaker is advertised to handle, but one has to be mindful of the audible sounds of distress in the system to prevent failure of a component.

It makes me a little nervous advocating this approach, but I do so knowing it is as easy to blow a speaker with an underpowered amplifer as one that is over-powered. The key is hearing and knowing when your stereo is making sounds it is not supposed to, and taking steps to fix it or turn it down.

I had mine out on Mead Monday. Water was cold, but calm. I just drove around a bit. pretty sure my PSS is leaking. Got to test out the new cabin speaker and subs, WAAAYY better than my old stuff.

I think one of his posts talks about over powering in his set up. I'll have to look for that. I guess another way would be to get MB8s as they are rated at 150W RMS also.

ok off to try and get the seat packed up for spharis
