They give measurements for stereo and for mono that are for 10db

rated output power @ 8ohms of 900 watts with distortion of .01% so I


think there'll be plenty of power for any sub currently available.




I'm not doubting that they're enough power one bit. Just saying don't


accept printed specs as gospel.


I just figure that for normal use they would be runing well below rated
output and distortion would not likely be a problem.

Have you any dealings with the Behringer and it's noise level from

the
fan?



In the installation the Behringer amp was in that I experienced, it

was
never quiet enough to notice it. A home setting is where its been
reported to be a problem. IMO If one chooses to purchase, know its
downfalls and install around said problems.


Cult of the Infinitely Baffled has more info on PA amps, their fan

noise
ratings in some cases, as well as other options and quieter fan
replacements on some amps. There are of course other resources, but

the
Cult has the most condensed info in this department.


Interesting, never heard of this group, I'll have to check them out.


IB's have no interest for me, unless I get up into the attic.

Perhaps
after the disk decompression heals, although mysingle Shiva is
currently filling my needs.



Ugh sorry to hear about the disk troubles.


Surgery is scheduled for the 10th of next month. I'm just glad that
the problem has been identified and will be resolved. My regular doc
seems to have given up caring much about his practice. He had been
telling me for a year that I needn't consult with a surgeon as there
was nothing that could be done. Finally I got him to give me a
referral and the Surgeon says not only can something be done but it
should be done ASAP.

An IB is well worth the effort IMO. Whether ceiling or adjacent room
mounted. I've had experience with one and helped set up another. I was


hooked before proper eq.



My Shiva did well until it was replaced with an Atlas12. No more
bottoming in the 88.5L sealed enclosure.


That is a bit small for a Shiva. 140 liters would be more suitable.

I'm looking to try mine in a sonotube, currently it's in a similar size
cabinet.
