any plate amps 3 ohm stable?

[PatFitz9 10+ year member]

I am thinking of using my 12w7 for HT use. are there any plate amps that are 3 ohm stable? I would like it to be reasonably cheap as well, under 300 (if possible). so whats out there?

I haven't seen any plate amps *rated* for 3 ohms. Try this;

I want a butt kicker...

 

[PatFitz9 10+ year member]

yeah, i don't really have the room to run an amp like that. but the buttkicker does sound tempting...

and the amp doesn't have to be rated at 3 ohms, just stable under 4 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Is that a single 3ohm sub? I would say any plate amp rated to 4ohms should be ok, you are going to have an impedance rise because of your enclosure anyways.

 

[PatFitz9 10+ year member]

yeah, it's a single 3 ohm (JL is lame). and I don't want to rely on impedence rise. if the amp blows, they are going to say i'm screwed because i wasn't running a proper load.

I don't know of any plate amps that would properly power the W7 anyway for under $300 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Get a QSC rack amp, and call it a day.

actually i just talked to PE tech, and he said that if it doesn't work for me i can just return it. they have a 1k amp for just over $300 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

rythmik amps don't have enough power, thanks though.

Talk to ballstothewall about the quality difference between Behringer and QSC amps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif There's a reason he doesn't have his Behringer anymore //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
