Hello
Newbie need advice on amps, have decided to build 2 Jack 110 (Deltalite 2510) and 1 Titan 39 load with Kappalite 3012lf, how much power do I need to get the most from these speakers ?, what are the best amps for the money?, will one amp do it all? or should I use 2 amps? Which plate amp suitable for the titan 39 . I rather use a plate amp for the t39 and an amp for the Jacks
Thanks

crown xti 1000 can cover you for both tops and sub.
Also, look into lelands powered options over at speaker hardware.

the 1000 would be good enough for the job probably. Using 1 T39 is going to be where you are limited, 8 ohm load and such. the 2000 will definitely do the job.
Why only 1 T39? How wide are you going to build it?

the titan with a 3012lf is limited to 450 watts and the two jacks can only handle about 400-500 together, so a 500w x2 amp is perfect. skip the plate amp.

4 ohms / 1 kHz (single channels driven) 500 W 850 W
Thanks

the problem is that the jacks will be 4 ohms, the single T39 will be 8.

cant the crown amps handle an unbalanced load?

yeah, but you wont find many amps that throw 500 watts at 4 AND 8 ohms hehe.

Actually the GX5 will work fine. It runs 500 watts at 8ohms and 700 at 4ohms. The Titan on one side gets 500 and the Jacks share 700.. The numbers that he posted were for single channel being driven...he's going to drive them both, so those numbers don't matter.
I've run my Titans and OTops with GX5s before I got the Crowns....they run just fine.
