Void Infinite 8 MK2 or a pair of QSC 4050HD's?

I'm currently using a pair of QSC 4050's for running bass, but i was curious about the idea of getting rid of them in exchange for a single infinite 8 mk2. I currently run a pair of gsubs off one qsc and the hd15's off another.

However I think i would be better off running 2 gsubs of one channel of the infinite 8 and the HD15'S on the other channel. Can anyone see a problem with this?

I just thought it would be a good thing to do as i intend to go down the Labhorn route fairly soon, and I get the impression that four labs would perform better off a single inf8 than two 4050hd's.

Opinions welcome......

Spesh.

The other thing i might mention is that the people i know who have used infinite 8 mk2 on Lab subs have taken out drivers on regular occasions. I presume this is was mostly down to poor gain structure and wrong limiter settings on the the LMS but as the lab subs combined impedance allows the amp to produce full power into the comparably low RMS drivers the possibility of driver damage is high.

Always sounded nice when they had it right though. I can imagine it would be a nice upgrade to your current system though, the lower end would have alot more weight to it imo.

I know someone who is looking for a QSC 4050HD right now.

I know the inf 8 is easily capable of taking out these sorts of drivers, but if i run the labs off a 4050, then each bin will be receiving roughly 1300 watts rms, and i'm sceptical as to whether that will be enough. But I have no experience running labs, so I have no idea how much power they can actually take in a real world scenario.

Has anyone tried 2x labs per channel of a crown VZ5?

I've seen that baby knock out a 32amp breaker on dedicated supply, with a pile of 18s per channel, and still not overheat or have any issue.

So I think manual is little conservative at 2.5kwpc @ 2ohms.

I've seen 6 powered off one amp before, think it may of been a camco vortex 6, can't imagine its going to last long, suprised it held out the night :-)

nah i think it was jeff 9 bar who said about the impedance on his powersofts stating 2.4 ohms a channel when running 4 labs
