Members Tomm Williams Posted June 24, 2014 Members Share Posted June 24, 2014 I respect your opinion, BUT why put it in the manual if it can't meet the exepctations of the customer? Wouldn't be the first time a product didn't meet promises made by a manufacterer. I suggested a second 2450 as I owned about 4-5 of them at one time and thought they were pretty good amps, except for 2ohm sub loads in spite of what the manual states. With 4 ohm loads, never had a problem. And as stated, ohm load can deviate to where you could actually be under 2ohms. Give youself some room to spare.

Members nchangin Posted June 24, 2014 Author Members Share Posted June 24, 2014 Thank you Tomm I see your point now. Gosh another 40 lbs to haul around, I know now why I have 2 u rack space left, maybe it's a sign. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was Andy who I first recall making a statement about 2ohm sub loads being a little risky. I've stuck with that approach ever since................zero amp issues. I thought the 2450 made a great main or monitor amp, wouldn't hesitate to use one on an install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted June 24, 2014 Members Share Posted June 24, 2014 I believe it was Andy who I first recall making a statement about 2ohm sub loads being a little risky. Risky with the 2450 but not so much with the 1850HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoadRanger Posted June 25, 2014 Members Share Posted June 25, 2014 Used RMX2450's are dirt cheap ($300?), just buy another and keep the loads to 4 ohms or above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoryMcQ Posted June 25, 2014 Members Share Posted June 25, 2014 RR, when I saw your handle on this thread I thought you'd be recommending an iNuke he could buy with pocket change that is so light he could just blow on it in the general direction of the gig to send it there.

Members Unalaska Posted June 25, 2014 Members Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yeah but no way I'd trust an inuke to drive anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four 4 ohm subs on it in dual mono would probably be just fine - but a pair of RMX2450's would be much less worrysome and offer redundancy if one ever went down - it's just a question of dealing with all that weight. A pair of Peavey IPR1600's would be fine too - a single IPR3000 would be theoretically OK too but running stuff at the limits isn't something most folks are comfortable with...

Members 6Imzadi Posted June 27, 2014 Members Share Posted June 27, 2014 Why don't you buy my (2) QSC 3402 amps? I will sell for $400 each plus shipping. *edit: They are light weight, and love 4 ohm loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pro Sound Guy Posted June 28, 2014 Members Share Posted June 28, 2014 Honestly...STAY away from a 2ohm nominal load. Reactance, minimum impedance over the bandwidth is an issue.Really...Class D maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agedhorse Posted June 30, 2014 Members Share Posted June 30, 2014 There is nothing wrong with 2 ohm loads with the proper gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
