Decisions- four Rev 10's or ?

[Ks]

Okay doing the upgrade from my beloved double up setup ( Pro 60 / M8 combo)

Alpha Z tower RZ2...

4 Rev 10's or should I do 2 Rev 10's and 2 Rev 8's to have the same look and feel of my current set up.

If I go with the four 10's I will bridge my Hertz HP4 ( see attachment) and if I stay 2+2 I will stay with current config... ( 4 X 130)

opinions and suggestions wanted... have to know by Tuesday.

* Specs of the HP4 taken from the Hertz www... everyone says the amp is underrated from the factory..

130W rms is no where near enough for a Rev10. The only way to bridge this amp into 2 chnl mode with 4 speakers is to wire each pair in series for an 8 ohm load. When doing this, your net watts to each speaker is the sam as running 4 chnl mode with a 4 ohm load on each chnl. You will need a 2nd amp to run 2 pair, or swap that amp for a 2 chnl.

Now, running a single pair on that amp would be 440W rms to each. This is spot on. You may just find that that get'r done! So you may not need a 2nd pair of anything unless you want to roll with 4 pods and be off the hook

You would be wasting your money buying 4 Rev 10s and only giving them 130w a piece. You would still be wasting your money if you buy a pair of Rev 10s and a pair of Rev 8s and only give them 130w a piece. The Rev 8s will handle 400w a piece as will the Rev 10s. I know Wicked is giving his Rev 10s 500weach and he loves that setup. My brother has Rev 8s with a syn 4 and I have 2 sets of Rev10s each on a syn 4. They need power!

I just got my 4 rev 10s and they are supper loud like the whole lake could hear me loud running two amps at about 450 per do the rev 10s but give them more power.

Im doubling up the tower amps.. Still have to decide to go 8&10 or 10&10. Either way, they will be seeing over 400 watts a piece.
Can't wait..

There is no acoustical advantage to mixing 8's and 10's. So if headroom is not an issue and the cost difference between the Rev8 and Rev10 is not a hurdle, then go with two pair of Rev10.

[Bruizza]

Go with two pair of Rev 10s!

X3 2 pair of Rev 10's

2 pairs of Rev 10's is annoyingly loud! Bruizza cranked his all day Saturday 300'+ away and it was hard to talk to people because it's so loud.

WHAT TIMMY I CAN'T HEAR YOU...

I heard that sentence quite a bit!

[Bruizza]

I hate you guys so much right now!

WHAT?!?!? CAN'T HEAR! Needless to say, it was no surprise as to who would win the stereo contest!

[Bruizza]

Retuning it with that SMD distortion detector earlier in the day really helped!
