What class d, full range amp should I choose? --- Rave project ----

[wirne]

Hi! I am about to upgrade my "Outdoor rave" System. I will be using two 15" PA speakers, 600RMS, 8ohm. And I got two 155Ah industrial AGM batteries as power source.

The speakers:

HK Audio L5 115 F Linear 5

Now I need your help to choose an amp that would fit. I've done lots of research, but I'm still not 100% sure. The speakers will be connected parallell to hit 4 ohms. So I'm down to three options:

A 2ch, class D amp, which I will bridge to 4ohm.

A monoblock, also class D, but with the power to drive the speakers at 4ohm.

Or just get 2 monoblocks that are bridgeable.

Right now im Looking at:

Precision Power PPI P600.2

Will this be able to give enough power for the speakers?

or,

Stetsom 2k5eq

stetsom.com.br/en/produto/2k5-eq-2-ohms

or,

Two Precision Power PPI P1000.1 bridged (((IS THIS FULL RANGE?)))

I live in europe, if that matters. Do you have any other amps that would be better? Max $700.

Dont use car audio amplifiers to power stage concerts. Wrong idea man. They dont work anywhere near as well as actual Pro audio amp as in they will not get anywhere as loud or good souding. They make their power at low ohm loads while your speakers are 8 ohm impedance. Whatever money you spend on car audio amps will get you sh*t power output because none of them make good power at 8 ohms.

I'd go with a crown or behringer amplifie. All you need is a 1/0 gauge extension cord(you can make your own with welding wire for cheaper than stores) It'll work 1000x better they make their power at 8 ohms and the behringer DSP one has a digital clipping limiter and other sound processing goodness to it.

I'd only use Taramps for pro audio if you have many speakers in an ARRAY setup where your final impedance will be 1 ohms. Otherwise, avoid it.

I Will use The system outdoors, that's why I would go a car amp. I want it to be portable. The amps you link are all Ac and can't run from a 12v source

taramps hd 3000/4000 2 ohm version would be your best bet then.

AlSo found DS18 FR6000.1. Also full range, what do you think?
