Members davidplasti-k Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hello I'm planning on changing my jrx 125 to tour x 2152 or srx 715. I know the ev's run 4 ohms 1000 watts and the jbl's 800 watts in 8 ohms. My amps are xti 2000 so I think they don't run enough power. What amp do you suggest me to run two cabinets per side and if it has to be used in parallel or series. My second question is if I ran two tour x per side going to the same amp, impedance goes down to 2 ohms and they throw 2000 watts per side for a total of 4000? I hope I was clear guys jeje.

Members agedhorse Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 What about subs? That would definately factor into any recommendation. If you don't have subs or can't afford subs, I would then consider looking at a slightly lower line like the MRX and adding subs. Overall, if you need LF reproduction, that would be a better tradeoff. Alternately, this might be the ideal time to consider powered cabinets. QSC HPR's are worthy too. The added processing and well matched power from all the powered speakers at this level is beneficial IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run two electro voice force i subs trough a crown xti 2000 and I have other two crown xti 2000 one for my clubs sm 12v and the other for the jrx 125. I am happy with the clubs and the subs but need to upgrade the jbl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allexcosta Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 If you've got subs the SRX712's are hard to beat as tops... Better than the SRX715's actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members davidplasti-k Posted January 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 You should really give the ZX3 a try IMO. Killer little cabs that would mate well to your existing EV subs. Wow yes I see they are good but sorry the question stupid why it says 551 to 700 watts Can you actually get them to 700 watts continous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure as heck wouldn't. To rate a speaker like that requires that you follow all the little details that are "between the lines", things like high pass filtering, band-shaped signal, limited and controlled crest factor, and just as important... how long wouldyou like the speakers to last and remain undamaged without any fatigue or long term thermal damage to the drivers and x-over network. IMO, it's a bit misleading... but so are many specs these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are however rated at 600w continuous. I've powered them with a PLX3402, also had them on a MA3600 and they do just fine.......of course I don't push things to their limit & I don't ask more from my gear than it's capable of.

Members davidplasti-k Posted January 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 They are a 12" box that can be used for BOTH applications. I happen to use a bunch for monitors, but have also flown them for FOH installations. No problem there. They also come with pole mounts that have straight and ~10 degrees down angles, very, very handy. Is the crown xti 4000 enough or do I need the xti6000.

Members Unalaska Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 xti4000 is plenty, 6k is overkill IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're using subs 12" tops will sound better, cost less and be easier to transport. If you go with EV, I second the ZX3 suggestion. Just to clarify, a 15" speaker is not necessarily a better speaker just because it's bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agedhorse Posted January 4, 2010 Members Share Posted January 4, 2010 You may want to reconsider this... if they need subs but are too cheap to rent subs, do you want them hammering your cabinets trying to get more bottom end just because they can't/won't pay for the proper tool?
