N00B Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Do I need any processors or anything special for running this much power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthballsy1 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) Not sure on that part but I doubt you will need any processors for your bass stuff maybe for mids and highs but again I don't know for sure. A few batts wouldn't hurt either.

kirill007 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 No need for processor's. But yo do need to have a Oscope to set you're gains to make sure the amp doesn't clips. clipping=burned coil. Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

N00B Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I can use a DMM right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthballsy1 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 ^^^ x2 But if you can't afford an oscope (like me) maybe find a shop that uses them in your area or another member of SMD that has one and can help you.

kirill007 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I can use a DMM right? You can, but that can result in clipping the amp, if the DMM is perfectly accurate i shouldn't. But with a Oscope you can make sure their is no clipping. And what amp are you going to use? Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

N00B Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I'm debating on either a Stetsom 4k2d or an audioque 3500d.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
