General curiosity about the M25's ability...

Post by Lowcountrypsulion »

Hey everyone. I was thumbing through the old M25 manual and thought it was really interesting that PG included such detailed system designs. Systems 4 and 5 are particularly interesting. Hell, System 4 has 16 speakers including eight subs!

Has anyone ever attempted to build this system? With an M25? And if so, what the hell would it sound like? Would it hit 75dB? :doh:

I have done a complete system of a m25 using passives. It consisted of 4" in the front 6.5" in the rear and 2 dual 4 ohm 12s in the hatch. It did 127dbs. The m25 is a bad ass little amp. It does not make tons of power but will keep on running no matter what you throw at it.

That's awesome! Thanks for the reply. I just thought it was really interesting how PG provided a diagram of such a complicated system. At least, it looks complicated to me.

I'm currently running a single 4-ohm RF Punch 12 off of my M25 and it surprisingly loud. I feel like I'm under-utilizing it.

Have a good one!
