New install with same footprint

Post by tonym »

I have 2 m50's and an m100 now pushing 2 sets of AVI lxd comps
Those of you who have ran AVI know they like power.

I have only owned M-series amps
It sounds very clear and loud now but I think Im working the amps and the m100 just isnt enough for 2 JL-13tw5's
I would think for SQ the ZX line and titanium line would have the same or better SQ?



My question is what amps could I swap out my m-series for with a bit more power and the same or less footprint(im shoe horned in now) with the 2 m50's and m100

Maybe ZX475Ti for the 2 m50's?

thanks

Why not just take another M100 and run a JL off each :wink:

Could step up to a MS2125 and MS2250. One of each would do the job and take less space than 2 M50's and a M100........and the M amps and MS amps use the same signal path circuitry if I'm not mistaken.

I would prefer a ZX450v.2 over a 475Ti.......I like the gold boards :wink:

How are the M50s and the M100 connected up (what goes where)?

Well, I think you might be running the best setup already. Are the components active or passive?

not sure if I know forsure what you mean ...bi meaning 2 though... meaning the signal is split for the 2 amps? ......I would have to ask my buddy..I know I had bought 2 spliters...he did all the wire and amp install...

some componants and x-0vers have the option to run 2 channels of power into it, per side. This will gives a little more tunability as you can then adjust the output of the componants individually as well as x-over the signal that goes into it to help clean it up a bit.
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.
