Plate Amp's!!! (1 Viewer)

[rich r]

hello All

I am considering building a sealed Tempest sub with a QTC around .707

I would like to power using a plate amp with about 400W RMS. Some thing similar to amp used in a Servo-15.

Are there any amp manufacturers that offer higher wattage plate amps to the DIY'er??

thanks in Advance

Adire Audio offers a 500W plate amp, but it's not cheap.

Pat,

I am looking for something similar to Adire's HS500. But im not sure whatelse is out there to compare it too.

Since the Tempest has dual voice coils, you might consider using two plate amps, one driving each coil. The popular 300-794 at Parts Express is still $125. Two of those each driving 8 ohms would give you a total of 360 Watts.

Well...that would be $250
If you go to www.stryke.com they have their AMP350 (350watts at 4ohms...ie coils in parallel) for $225.
less money...less shipping..less construction...less space on the enclosure to take up...less things to go wrong
..but you can't tune the coils individually...which very few people do anyways.
