Great Bass Output
Apr/100
reciever power output question?
i have a technics su-600. it says in the manual it does 8ohms at 50 wats max output power rms. but i curently have 3 200watt 4 ohm subwoofers hooked up to it. it powers those 3 subs to the point of them bottoming out at 10% volume if i have loudness and bass on full! how is this posible? its powering 600watts!! it says it can only put out 50watts max. and its power consuption is only 250watts. how does this work? the safety trips when i try to power 1000watts! still how is this old peice of junk doing this? i found it out in the rain on garbage day! and it sounds great. it gets my subs responding perfectly! respond please
Audio equipment manufacturers play all sorts of games with these figures. Saying those subwoofers can take 200 watts does not mean that they can take 200 watts concentrated in one small frequency band, like 10Hz to 50Hz, let alone one single frequency. Maybe they can take 200watts spread equally across the entire audible frequency spectum, so called white noise, and they may even mean that they can take that briefly, like a single drum beat.
Secondly, Technic's 50WRMS means it can actually put of 100 watts for a few seconds, and maybe even 200 for one drum beat. Is this enough to bottom out the speakers? Yes. Enjoy this good equipment, just don't turn the bass up so high.
(PS: I'm not surprised that this "old piece of junk" still works fine. There's no reason electronics should every really wear out, except for vacuum tubes and they can be replaced.)
