M100 Headroom

Hi guys
I bougth a M100 from Tristan and was planning to use 2 of them for 2 Xmax 12" and a bridged M44 for my Rsd6.5Cs - but that will require a larger Awg cable than the one i'm currently using - so the Q is - will there be any change in headroom if i let 1 M100 drive the 2 12" and use the other for the Rsd's (thus leaving my M44 on the shelf for now) indstead of my previous plan ?

Your components will have more headroom while your subs will have less headroom. I have an M44 bridge to my comps and it's more than I need in terms of volume and headroom so going with an M100 on the comps could be overkill, depending on your tastes.

I run two RSD subs from a single M100 in 2 ohms stereo and it's not lacking. Some guys may prefer more volume or more earth shattering bass, but it's not lacking in headroom or authority in my opinion. An M44 bridged to comps is also great, but again, if you're the power hungry type, it's possible that you'll want more.

Either setup sounds fine to. Where do you want more headroom though? Subs or comps?

^^^^^^^^^

I agree with Ryan..... You should be happy running M100/M44....

I'm thinking subs - just an idea - might be able to squezze all three in there - but i might just try it out to see what works best - thanx guys
