I have a question(s),
I have been having strange problems with an old ADS 860MX. I had it set up to run 60 watts X 8 channels. However I was only using the first four channels....normally wired. These were powering four Infinity Reference cockpit speakers. One of my rear Infinity's blew, no doubt to my ADS.
So I picked up an Art Series PPI A600 and have another coming for to replace the ADS that I was using. I figured 150 watts per channel would be a big improvment and looked forward to getting everything setup.
I hooked up the first PPI (only one I have so far) and everything worked fine...all the right lights come on and it's really clean, but tehre doesn't seem to be much change from my ADS.
Should there be?....at the moment it's running two two way 4X6's and it is cleaner but from a volume perspective, it doesn't seem to be much different than before. Is there a way to test for output? Is it possible the amp isn't producing it's wattage output because the speakers aren't asking for it?
What do you all think?
