@hardrocker69 you should be more than okay yes
@hardrocker69 - no problem. We are all here to learn. Even those of us who are old and grey, have big (or small) egos, can be as stubborn as a mule and dumber than a brick, are here to learn from each other. So, you are most welcome and keep asking away. -Jeff |
Thanks for the responses. Just got home from work. @jeffbij bridging is the term I should have used. I'm new to any of this, and trying to learn. @kofibaffour tha KS for the insight. @052rc thanks for trying to help. I think what I read is I should be ok. |
+1 what @kofibaffour mentioned at the end. You should be ok. The Heresy's rating is 100 watts continuous and 400 watts peak. Most of the time you are using <10 watts max at normal listening levels. It would be difficult to run >100 watts continuous into a speaker. Just don't push the volume to 10 or 11, which would probably push the amp into clipping and which would damage both amp and speaker. Question, and maybe just to be nitpicky... I'm assuming you are using 2 amps. Are you bi-amping the speakers (i.e. removing the jumper from the speaker terminals and using 2 amplification channels on each speaker) or just bridging each amp and using them as monoblocks? If you are bi-amping, then it is still only sending 100 watts/8 ohms to each driver. The 300 watts/8 ohms is the rating is for using the amps in "Bridged" mode as monoblocks. -Jeff |
Your speakers are a 94.5dB@2.83V/1m sensitivity wise. With a minimum impedance modulus of 4.1 Ohms at 135Hz with the rest of the spectrum at 5 Ohm or higher. They're not voltage hungry and are not current demanding too so 100Watts is enough to send each speaker to 100.2dB peaks from 12 ft away. Meaning for the stereo pair you're getting 103.2dB peaks, 12ft away. That's hearing damage level SPL with 100 watts alone Your concern should be for your ears not the speaker transducers @hardrocker69 |
