Crown MA3600VZ

#1 Post by Hallwalk3r »

I am in the process of building 8 Otop12s Eminence Beta II 8ohm loaded , my question is will one Crown MA3600VZ produce enough power driven in stereo mode with both channels driven 1800W into 2 ohms for all 8 Otop12s (4 per side) the highs (compression horns ) will be powered by separate amp , and if MA3600VZ will be enough amp for future driver upgrade to the recommended driver Eminence DeltaLite II 2512 8ohm . Thanks in advance.

Without looking up the power handling of those boxes I suspect you could get enough out of the amp to run them series parallel at 8 ohm and still have headroom!

The Eminence Beta II is 250 rms 8ohm and the Eminence DeltaLite II 2512 is 300 rms 8ohm .

In series parallel you would have an 8 ohm load and the MA3600 will easily power those!Even if they were the deltalite it would still push all 4 with ease because I doubt you would even want to run them at a full 200 watts RMS!

The Deltalite II 2512 is only 250 watts RMS not that there's any difference between 250 and 300. The resultant difference is so small you'd never notice it anyways!

The old iron Macros have serious headroom and will crest quite nicely and still sound very good!
