Check out the measuring amp sticky in the DIY speakers and subs section

I use a Behringer EPX4000 for 2 subs, 2 X 2000 wpc @ 2 ohms.

 

[WereWolf84]

any difference between the EP4000 & the EPX4000? can EPX4000 run single channel 2,000 watts RMS at 2 ohm without overheat problem?

It doesn't actually put out that much power. Also from what I have heard the epx series doesn't work as well as the ep series. Those amps put out around 800 per channel at 2 ohms even tho they advertise 2000 watts.

1,164 watts in bridged 2 ohm mode. The amp will not do this for very long or very hard as it doesn't like 2 ohm loads.

I run mine around 14 hours per day with no heat issues. Of course, the fans run all the time and can bother some people with the noise. This amp is a class "D" and does deliver the goods. I power two VMPS Large UltraMega subwoofers (12" & 15" driver with a 15" PR) with this amp.

Information comes from where?

In the good old days, serious players like Don Keele of JBL and Audio magazine and Tom Nousaine of Sound&Vision who has tested hundreds of subwoofers, used the now discontinued Crown Macro Reference. Tom used this amp for his home IB system which uses 8 15 inch drivers to achieve 129 db. This 60 pound beast is rated as follows:

Stereo mode:


760 watts per channel into 8 ohms

Measuring amplifiers sticky in this forum and my own results of not blowing speakers.

I literally just smoked my week old ep4000. I brought it back and grabbed a qsc gx5. I took some preliminary measurements and all looks the same.

 

[bsoko2]

I have the EXP4000 which is class "H".

i just bought a qsc gx5 which is also class H. What is the difference between that and a ep4000. i got the exact same measurements between the two.
