It doesnt say whether its RMS or peak tho.
The difference is around twice the power.
£120 for 1000W amp on ebay.

hi sorry folks im running 2 15" class d but have changed the drivers for teleston as they have a bit more punch,also im using them as subs and am using a system controller to run just the bass and im using a skytec 1000 watt amp to run them.

have got quite a low budget as well so need to be quite cheapish :D im also running a peavy 600 watt for my skytec 15" tops. i just need more volume as my mixer is up to nearly max.
Well as you have changed the drivers in the class d cabs, how many watts rms are those speakers?
It's not a good idea to change drivers as this will change the whole sound as the cab was designed around the original drivers.

ts that attitude that puts me off making donations to this forum.
...and your beef is what Nigel?
Asking is OK....also having a budget is not?
Information on here is free but people need to know a bit more information before searching.....or do you just go out and buy what you first see?
Don't be clever with me.

do you think it could be my mixer thats not powerfull enough then nigel? i have a behringer dx700 mixer.
tom would you suggest putting the original drivers back in then running them as subs or not then?

The better the brand, the better the components which would give out a better and louder signal. That can work under amps, speakers, mixers, mics, lights ect. All send eletrical signals.

In my honest opinion I would but I have not heard a pair of class-d cabs so cant really give my opinion on them. The cab was designed around the driver so you will get the best sound out it.

All mixers should put out 0dB so I doubt it is the mixer.
A lot of things define the amount of sound pressure you get.
Not least the sensitivity of the speakers and the power of the amp.
I build my own speakers and so long as the speakers are similar rated I cant see a massive problem. So long as your not putting a huge speaker in a tiny box it shouldnt make much difference.
If yo uwant to tell me what your driver is and the cubic capacity of your speaker box I will put into a program called Win ISD and check for you.

.
All mixers put out 0dB as that is the spec for a mixer.
Just as amps are rated for a 0dB input.

And you can also go over the 0db.
0db is playing it safe when it comes to amps as Im sure you know. You can go over this but you will then start to send a distorted signal to the amp.

Mark, with total respect to you mate, the Behringer DJX700 or whatever it's called, isn't the best mixer in the world. I had one for about 2 weeks and used it once and sold it on again. I was worried it was going to fall apart. They modelled it on the Pioneer DJM600 and failed miserably. I would try another mixer mate.
As for the amp, I am selling a Crown XLS602 but you mentioned you want 1000w and this isn't unfortunately. I know that's a bit of a pointless statement but...well, it's early.

Without getting into debates about drivers, this is the amp I use, and rate highly. 500w per side at 8ohms, 750w at 4ohms. With your cabs, unless the new drivers are 4ohms, you'll get the first figure.
Until recently, I think this chap had them cheaper. :confused:

This is a tad cheaper, but not as nice IMO
