The GFA 5500 I used to have back in 99 ran very very hot. They are decent amps for the money but you can get much better for not alot more. Just my opinion. Yes 2 subs will take a big load off the amp for sure. That might be the best route to take.
Adcom GFA5500 2ohm stable? & house wirinig
I am redoing my stereo & I plan to use my Adcom GFA-5500's to power subs & use my girlfriends parasound amps to power my speakers. Is it OK to run my GFA5500 in a 4ohm mono load or is that a bad idea? Looking at Adcoms site I beleive it states 2ohms is OK but I am not 100% sure that is the case .... just wanting to be sure.
Is it a good idea to run dedicated power directly from the fusepanel to the theatre area? We are redoing my house & I am thinking it would be good to run power from the fuse panel directly to where the thearte stuff is. At this time there will be 6 two channel amps all of which develop 200-300w at 8ohms. I figured with the current they can draw a dedicated powerline should be done
?. Is that a good idea or overkill? Next to the stereo stuff in a adjacent room (no wall seperating the 2) I plan on running a dedicated power line to my fishtank, about 500 gallons of saltwater.
thanks for any help/info!!
