Behringer A500 for THT use?

#1 Post by Bryson »

I have a Behringer A500 that I picked up for a future THT project. Looking over the DVC... it's dual 8 ohm, which is not ideal for that amp as it cannot run bridged 4 ohm. Looks like it will do 185watts/side at 4 ohm, so 185 to the DVC total.

The second option is to run each voice coil on it's own side of the amp, giving me 250w RMS. Is this a good option/what do you guys think?

The third option is another single voice coil driver that runs at 8ohms. Then I could bridge it and forget about it.

What would you do?

Now: T18...

That's kinda what I was hoping to hear. I was just concerned about the 2 individual channels. I guess just set the gains the same and run mono into the amp then?
