Pbassred Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) [quote] Speaker driver ratings are the same ones used for DJ speakers which run heavily compressed full range music all night. That limit assumes that you are delivering is RMS value constantly. If a bass player does that, he's a poor player. ************************************** A bit unfair perhaps? If the music/band/situation calls for it (and it could happen, I suppose!) then surely that makes you a good player? Doing what is required? Just a thought! ][/quote] Actually Conan what I meant was that a DJ is pumping out full frequency range music containing compressed instruments and a heavily compressed final mix, and it never lets up. Only ever a few db below max limit - For hours. Bass players play discreet notes. So, for a bassist to break a driver by emitting the constant power to overheat, he's not playing notes, and he's probably impossible as well. Maybe somewhere there is an art-house demand for a guy to play 2 hours of sustained feedback. Edited December 24, 2013 by Pbassred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bassman7755 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 My previous rig was a bridged QSC amp running 1.6kw (potentially) into a 700w cab. IMO you can never have too much amp power - what you don't use gets translated into clean headroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
