I was thinking of using an older Yamaha M60 amp to push my sonosub.
Specifications state:
Continuous power per channel
20Hz-20kHz 0.003%THD 8 omhs......160w
" " 0.007%THD 6 ohms......185w
" " 0.02%THD 4 ohms......210w
Dynamic Power:
1kHz 8omhs...210w
" 6 " ...260w
" 4 " ...360w
" 2 " ...450w
1-Does this look ok to power my 15.5 cu ft sub? I was intending to run the Tempest at 4ohms.
2-Would the Adire 250 be a better choice? I do have another M60.
Also I have this sitting around- an old Yamaha C-80 control amp from yonder years. It was used in a 2 channel setup for source selection and now I only use it for tuner/turntable- It has a built in parametric EQ and subsonic filter(has a 15Hz ON/OFF button?)
The manual reads as follows:
Parametric EQ-Low Band
The Low Band of the Parametric EQ maay be used to boost or cut any frequency in the range of 31.5Hz to 800Hz by a selectable amount. A range of of frequencies is affected, centered on the frequency selected with the FREQUENCY control. The width of the frequency range to be adjusted is set with the BANDWIDTH control. The amount of boost or cut is set with the LEVEL control (-12 dB to +12dB).
Parametric EQ-High Band
The Low Band of the Parametric EQ maay be used to boost or cut any frequency in the range of 0.8khz to 20kHz by a selectable amount. A range of of frequencies is affected, centered on the frequency selected with the FREQUENCY control. The width of the frequency range to be adjusted is set with the BANDWIDTH control. The amount of boost or cut is set with the LEVEL control (-12 dB to +12dB.
Subsonic Filter
This switch cuts out ultra-low-frequency signals caused bu warped records or turntable rumble.
Subsonic interference drains amp power and can even harm speakers if not attenuated.
All this is taken verbatim from the manuals.
3-Is this something I can use a dedicate it to the sub?
Sorry so long- I didn't want to leave anything out- Just trying to get my duckies in a row so when the Tempest arrives I can finalize the sub contruction- It's looking good but man is it huge!!
Thanks for any assistance-your opinions are appreciated.
