I know someone who has more Crest Amps than Thy....

I have 30,000 Crest watts, I only see 26,000w there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
[i only have 64,000 Crest + QSC watts in home : ]
That amp rack in home would be sweet nonetheless. It's hard for my home
stereo to compete with a concert rig but I'd do the challenge anyways for fun
... setup an Ozzfest at my house //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I think I have a great audiophile on SPL steriods line array design, very
high SQL for 'real estate area'.
I don't want to sound like a party pooper, but I did look into Crest CA
series amplifiers as shown in the pics. I wasn't impressed by the circuit design
over the Pro series. The Pro 9001 and 10001 look sweet, everything else
looks ordinary //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif [nothing wrong with ordinary //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif ]
For example;
The schematic I have shows CA9 and CA6, both of these amps share the
same output stage. Only 4 transistor per voltage rail. Oddly, the schematic
says the power supply is for CA6, CA9, CA12... ???
Anways, the CA12 is rated for 2800w mono, CA9 rated for 2000w mono
so I suspect the output stage on CA12 isn't much bigger than CA9.
I'd like to see CA12 and CA18 schematics, it's not on their website. [booo]..
The output stage design just gives me a quick snapshot of what the amp might
be able to do or not do and it tells me about how well the amp was over-engineered,
sorta meaningless as it's application dependent too.
Those EVX180's.. I used them in 1987... Then they sat in storage until this year with
rotted foam surrounds.. I tossed the woofers in the garbage -- hehehe
