Members srp72ee Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Should be fine unless your are always in the clip limiting of the amp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agedhorse Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Maybe ok as long as you don't hit the limit light. That's a big amp, what speakers are you planning on destroying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members madball24 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I am using jbl mrx525. Do you not recommend to use that amp? And if not what amp do u recommend? I'm using the 4000 running 1200 Watts with gain set at 2oclock on the amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NUSound Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'm using the 4000 running 1200 Watts with gain set at 2oclock on the amp :facepalm::facepalm: That little gain knob on the front of your amp DOES NOT control or limit the output capacity of the amp!! Only a limiter can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mogwix Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 im using the xti 4,000 right now and i love the 4,000 i wanna get the 6,000 for more power Alright, sure. If you really want to destroy your speakers, Agedhorse will happily recone them for a nominal fee! Note: More power doesn't mean more volume. Try not to power your speakers above their program rating... you're just asking for trouble! I would say the 4000 is a good match for the 525's, but you're getting crazy with the XTi6000. Keep the amp, though, and invest in a pair of MRX528S's. The XTi6000 will power a pair of those nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoadRanger Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 im using the xti 4,000 right now and i love the 4,000 i wanna get the 6,000 for more power My understanding is that the 6000 draws less power than the 4000 as it is class-d (or whatever Crown calls their version). The other XTI amps are multirail class ab (G? H? EIEIO? ). Class-d is almost 2x as efficient as multirail ab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other XTI amps are multirail class ab (G? H? EIEIO? ). Class-d is almost 2x as efficient as multirail ab. Class D "can" be as much as maybe 1.75x as efficient but generally it's only about 1.25-1.5x as efficient as a 2 tier class G/H and 3 tier makes the gap even smaller.

Members doorslammer Posted December 19, 2009 Members Share Posted December 19, 2009 Just got a Crown XTi 4000 about three weeks ago. Very nice amp. Running it in bridge mode powering a pair of Cerwin Vega Earthquake subs. It took the place of two Behringer 2500 watt amps. Sounds great and the amp rack is a good bit lighter. Life's short. Live it to the Max! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoadRanger Posted December 19, 2009 Members Share Posted December 19, 2009 Life's short.2000w into a 500w sub - I'd say so . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted December 19, 2009 Members Share Posted December 19, 2009 2000w into a 500w sub - I'd say so . Yeah and I wouldn't even rate it as a 500 watt sub either. Maybe 400 watts... run a power compression test and it pretty much {censored}s bricks sideways at 500 watts. More power is always a solution to those who don't get it, just like turning up the volume on a {censored}ty band is going to make them sound better. Well, it does drive the last remaining fans from the room, so at least somebody benefits form a good excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KF650SB1000 Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 We have a XTi6000.... its alright amp; nothing special. It would works great for the SRX tops. But I wouldn't put it on subs for a bass demanding show. With the market at the moment, you can pick up a slightly used IT4000 for about the same price.
