Title: Plate Amps Post by After_Hours on 01/19/10 at 14:26:26 Hey guys, just a question for those of you that have used plate amps, where have you installed them? the best plate sub i can find to suit the drivers i have chosen is 9.5"x 9.5" and wont fit into the triangle at the begining of the horn. I was planning of installing it into one of the sealed sub chambers, would this affect things too much? http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=AA0509&CATID=15&form=CAT&SUBCATID=443 Drivers are 150W RMS @ 8ohm (10" PA drivers from same store as amp) AMP 600W RMS @ 4 ohms... should do the trick after i wire my drivers in parallel down to 4om |

Title: Re: Plate Amps Post by HT-EXT on 01/21/10 at 16:50:22 I will haft to side with Lin. The amount of vibration may not be enough to do damage right away but over a period of time you will prolly wind up with some loose solder joints. I personally build the amp its own enclosure and sometimes use a small computer fan to keep the heat sink cool. My friend built a small enclosure for his amp and then attach it to the back of a WO with a rubber gasket. He has had no problems so far(going for about two years now). I not saying you can't do it I just would not recommend it. My 0.02. HT-EXT |
