Guillaume Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hi everyone I just got myself a Crown XLS402 - the price was so low I couldn't resist to get it as a spare / lightweigh-ish power amp for my rig from the bay The unit didn t come with a manual and when I started doing deeper search on the web I did find a lot of different info regarding the power output.[list] [*][url="http://rdn.harmanpro.com/product_documents/documents/2889_1433884260/140715-1_1-08_XLS_Chinese_Manual_original.pdf"]Here it says [/url] >> 2X450@2ohms / 2X300@4ohms / 2X900@8ohms / No bridge mode [*][url="http://www.performanceaudio.com/media/pdf/54/3435_s.pdf"]Here it says [/url] >> No 2 ohms / 2X450@4ohms / 2X300@8ohms / 1X900@8ohms [*][url="http://www.manualslib.com/manual/33818/Crown-Xls-Series.html?page=16#manual"]Here it says[/url] >> 2X520@2ohms / 2X400@4ohms / 2X260@8ohms / ... [/list] And the more i search the more i find new specs ... So i m really confused now. If you have any input on the subject that would be amazing !

Guest bassman7755 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I guess I would go with whats in the manual, afterall the makers should know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Email crown with the serial number and ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dare Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 2x900w into 8 ohms? Not likely. Get the ratings from the Crown website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guillaume Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 hi guys - thanks for the input. I will drop a line to crown Indeed some rating are truly awkward the serial is 8500185155 Just as a side note I am quite surprised there was so many different version with such widely different output under the same ref. First time I see this. [quote name='Passinwind' timestamp='1461305728' post='3033419'] Or just measure it yourself.
