Can someone suggest me an amp for these? Posted on: 11.04.2013 by Mitsuko Fanucchi http://www.guitarcenter.com/JBL-JRX1...48-i1152806.gcI am about to purchase these speakers, but I need an amp. I know very little about amps, but my buddy sais I will need an amp that can do 2 channels 500 watts @ 4 ohms. there are about a million and a half different amps on amazon and similar sites of varying brands and prices (quality?). Could someone who knows a bit more about this suggest me an amp that will push these as far as their potential (getting everything i paid for)? Thanks! | |
| Alphonso Deitchman 11.04.2013 | You ideally want to match the amp's maximum continous power rating to the program power of the speakers. So something like a QSC GX7 would be ideal for those JBL speakers. |
| Jerica Salava 11.04.2013 | Are you two the same guys that were hating on Class D 5 years ago? What happened? total Domination ! > |
| Alphonso Deitchman 11.04.2013 | 880/sqrt2 = 622W, and that's with the amp running at maximum.... I wouldn't be surprised if it can barely struggle to 600W RMS. |
| Ethel Feigum 11.04.2013 | Go for Crown or QSC amps. I've been doing live sound for almost 10 years, and have had better luck with those brands than any other. |
| Jerica Salava 11.04.2013 | Get the NU6000. Better to have extra power and not need it, than to need it and not have it. EDIT: FORGET THIS> You can even power two extra speakers at a 4 ohm load if necessary in the future. The speakers you're looking at ARE 4 OHMS. You don't need the 6000. The 3000 @ 4 OHMS is powerful enough plus some. Get the NU3000. or go for the NU6000 and stay out of the red. READ up on the NU3000 DSP model. They are a little bit more $$ but they have a USB programmable built in DSP which could make those speakers sound better. I would get one of those for a simple set-up like this. > |

| Dannie Dimora 11.04.2013 | http://www.guitarcenter.com/Behringe...99-i1884927.gc This should do the trick It's cheap , light, doesn't heat up that much, and it's got loads of headroom for the speakers you're gonna be driving with it |
