Is this amplifier to power the new speakers you are looking for (on another thread)?

If so, it would be a good idea to decide what speakers you are getting BEFORE buying an amplifier, to avoid ending up with a mismatch.

I'm not familiar with the cab and googled it to no avail, however assuming they are 250w @ 8r, you want an amplifier 400-500w @ 8r, not a 300w amp, as you have suggested in the OP, which would be underpowered.

I'd guess these may be close?

Tony's advice is, not surprisingly, bang on.

Does he really need 500 a side. Thats a lot of headroom.

I said 400-500w
Between 1.5 and 2.0 times the rms is recommended

yes there the ones my mate uses them and they sound really good i bought them off martin on here as he used them for back ups and he said they are good for the money. i thought that anything about 300w or more would be fine its still more than the speakers are?:confused: :confused:

Steps back to avoid the worms leaping out of the can yet again. ;)
Read this. I'm not yet sure if it's suitable for you, but I'll get back to you.

Edit: 2500 fits the bill.

:o thank you sir...



actually Peter, those cabs are quite shapely...




























... I can just visualise them four in a row on their backs, minus the drivers, with some nice begonias planted in them. :)

read the notes at the bottom of the post (the reason I edited it)

[markdj60]

oh yeah sorry.

[Excalibur]

Sorry if I'm intruding on Gardener's Question Time, but getting back to the original question:

Berry EP2000 or 2500

KAM 1500

C Mark 2450

Warrior 1300

The little Berry is on the lower limit, the KAM, C Mark and 2500 are as big as you want to go, and the Warrior is about spot on. IMHO. :D :D

[markdj60]

yeah i was looking at a warrior amp

i found a warrior da 1300 for £169 thought that was quite cheap.

you're probably right and the first reference I googled is wrong, as 300 does seem a little low for something that does 650 @ 4r

[markdj60]

anything over 300w seems ok to me and its not as if im going to keep it flat out all night.

[markdj60]

No one got one then?

I could possibly get you a good second hand amp (as I know a nice little number that a buddy of mine has for sale - I have its sister in my rack), but I am too junior to sell on the forum, so not at present.
