limiter setting help

#1 Post by soundxtreme »

this question may have been asked many times but i have searched and cannot find a thread that answers my question. i have 4-t30's loaded with delta 12lf being powered by cerwin vega 2800. its rated @ 900 watts @ 4ohm. im running 2-t30's on each channel. i want to set the limiter on my driverack px to protect my woofers but i also want to acheive maximum output. the delta 12lf has 35volt max. does the voltage stay at 35 even when running two cabs per channel?

If the subs are wired parallel, then yes. Easy, ain't it ? :mrgreen:

(Power per speaker remains P = U²/R; nothing in the formula changes if you add speakers in parallel)
BF cabs built to date:
2x T48 21" 3015LF; 1x T48 24" 2xBP102; 1x DR250 2510 loaded, cross firing; 4x DR200 Beta 8, melded array; 1x TT HL-10c; 2x WH Beta 8, melded 'array'; 3x AT 15" Tang Band W8-740P; 1x AT 15" JBL GTO1014

Have you given the Delta 12lf T30 a good workout yet? Just wondering how they perform, I scored 6 of that driver for real cheap and am procrastinating on the build - some feedback will inspire me.

I have the 12LF in my T39/24" and it does indeed perform well.
My biggest worry is that when I'm dead and gone, my wife will sell my toys for what I said I paid for them.
