RSd500.4 Question
Does this amp have the capability to bandpass like the Ti did. Can you run a 3 way setup like the Ti enabled us to do between the front and rear channels?

Shitty...I was so happy when I thought BP stood for bandpass...damnit...I am considering a 3 way setup but I can't use an RSd500.4 the way I want to set it up...minimal amps...thanks for clearing that up before I went out and wasted money on one : ).

Since I'm going active, should I adjust the gains using a DMM for my 500.4 to the CEA wattage? The 78 watts per channel?
The tweets I am only going to adjust to 10 watts but was wondering if everyone thought 78 was a proper figure for the amp. Thanks.

If the amp puts out more power than the speaker then adjust for the speaker, but if the speaker will handle what the amp can produce then adjust for the amp. However in this case you should be able to match the amp to the speakers power requirement even though the amp is not quoted to do so.
Keep in mind CEA rating is pushing things a bit more than the numbers you are used to seeing therefore the numbers will be smaller but the ability is still there.
Once you adjust the amp verify the amp outputs to make certain you are not clipping anything, you can do this by setting your meter to DC voltage and seeing what type voltage registers, essentially you want very little or none. The draw back is this is not the best way to check for clipping but it will give you an idea if you are.

I think we've established that "Ka Ka" and "Tukki Tukki" don't work.

The clipping test you described enlightening, I was not aware of it so I am happy to know now that I can test this.VW337 wrote:If the amp puts out more power than the speaker then adjust for the speaker, but if the speaker will handle what the amp can produce then adjust for the amp.

Well how about this....
I was adjusting my gain, with the dmm gain equation the figure to set would have been about 21.5 volts ac for the mids. I couldn't get it past like 18-19volts and that was with the gain all the way and I wasn't gonna leave it that way so I settled on 15-16volts ac, the gain is turned about 3/4 the way up for 15-16 and there is no distortion that I could hear.
Did I mess something up?
