Which plate amp(s)?
Posted: Mon Jun 05, 2017 4:35 pm
I bought the Table Tuba plans and I'm going to build a pair. Right now the plan is to use the Dayton DCS 205-4. I'm looking for advice on a plate amp or amps to run them. They will be used inside our large basement and outside during the summer when we show movies to the kid's friends. Inside I can corner load them, outside I can wall load or possibly v-plate and wall load them off the garage wall (fiber cement siding), or do the tilt as shown in the sub placement advice.
The drivers are 4 ohm but the plans mention that mounted in this cabinet they are equivalent to 6 ohm. To run them off one amp parallel the equal 3 ohms (not a good idea if I have understood what I have read). That means I will need to run them in series for a 12 ohm load (Correct?). What plate amp should I pick for this, or should I just get two amps?
Any advise or enlightenment appreciated.
