1 2Ch. Amp for 1way mid + 1way hi ?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   hey,

in about 1 month, me and the dudes will go to the SBG, the biggest paintball event in europe.
since im a speaker fetishist, bringing the music is up to me.

my plan as of now is to bring 4 hd15 and 1 MH122 together with
2 ultradrive (1 as replacement, u never know)
and 2 crown xli 3500 (2 2ch amps)

4 hd15 connected to 1st amp (2 for each channel), 
the MH122 connected to the 2nd amp

my question regarding the MH122 is: 
is it ok to run the mids on channel A and the hi on channel B?
routing the mid/hi-signal with the ultradrive to output 3/4 and to the 2nd amp.

im concerned about the different loads of the amp. the mids (2pcs. B&C 12NDL76 2x400w rms) are run parallel at 4ohms, the compression driver (beyma CP800TI, 200w rms) is at 8 ohms. 
hooked up to 1 amp. 
can anyone give me recommendations?

if my idea is shit, i could take a 3rd amp, but since only 1 MH122 is present, running (and carrying)
only 2 amps would be good. 

thanks !

	running different loads on each channel is fine, preferable even as it allows some headroom on the power supply

	Although many amps will share a power supply internally, you can treat them as two single channel amps from the point of audio signals.
	blah blah blah blah blah......
