In Reply to: Bi-amping 1.6s posted by Sebrof on October 31, 2006 at 13:37:58:
Hi Mike,The spec sheet says the crossover is at 600Hz. You haven't specified how many wpc into 4 ohms the Sunfire is, so it's hard to give you a specific recommendation for power required for the mid/tweeter amp. Not less than 75% of the Sunfire, I would say.
The most important thing is that the amp should have about the same gain as the Sunfire ... otherwise you get a mismatch on the volume level of each driver. Yes the best situation is to have EXACTLY the same gain (which is what I have with my IIIa 3-way active setup) but if, say, the Sunfire had a gain of x30 then anything from 28-32 would do for the other amp.
You will get a better sound out of the 1.6s if you actively bi-amp ... and then you would normally have a band gain control with this, which means that amp gain mismatches can be corrected.
Regards,
Andy
