iNUKE3000 and NX3000 in 2R bridge thoughts

@chris: so you ran 4x 15 off one channel. Would you have run the same 4x 15'' off the same amp but bridged? That's the question. What's it's output if you double the channel and stick to the same load. I have an NX6000. basically 2x NX3000. If I run 4x15 off one channel and 3x 18 off the other that would be like running 4x 15 off one NX3000 in bridge mode, or three 18'' the same. So how do you think it would have coped with the same worst case scenario frequency test if you had bridged the amp? I plan on NEVER having a DJ get closer to it than a well levelled mix in FLAC or something like on a USB stick...I know they are ubiquitous to the scene (dj's) but I hate the things and would see them all in the sea. Now I'm not getting paid for it I decide what get amplified and what doesn't.. Your reply was very informative and much appreciated.

@lev: Says the lad replying to it. This forum seems pretty quite nowadays so what do you want~? A thread that has some relevance to both the site name, and also the section it's placed in,......or no threads ever. Because that seems on the cards. Now, I have respect for your knowledge and your loyalty to a page I have recently returned to, but seriously, take a day off and have a word.
*EDIT ah, now I see, I disregarded your advice on another amp thread and you're salty. fair enough. salty salty goodness

@jo bg: yeah I know the numbers and I know the ways to kill an amp and the ways to prolong life. Digital and all these new classes of amp change the game somewhat, as do the released figures for equipment. I have also read a number of reviews on these, and a number of posts from people in the field who have run them at 2.66/2ohm, and as long as they are getting clean AC they seem to take it pretty well. hence my interest. I'm not going to ramp the amp to clip with 6 drivers off each channel, but at 50% would they happily sing along with a heavier load than stated? Anecdotal evidence states yes, they rather like it so wanted to ask the hive mind if anyone had used them in this config. If I want to take the rig out in anger I will happily buy another one and have everything run 4R. But as an option what are the limitations of the amp? There were plenty of old school heavys back in the day that liked the stick, reviews say these also like it. before I blow one up I wanted to gather corroborative info from people likely to not just chuck it in a field and run it till it blows. I will update as I get to using them properly.

If the goal is to use them at low level with multiple drivers i would Just wire them series or series/parallel to present the amp a more friendly load.

If you have not already bought this amp, why not consider doubling your budget and buy a chinese 4 channel. Fairly sure they will sound better particularly in tops and you wont need to strap 4 to a channel.

cheers! yeah about 500quids my limit on this system for a single amp.

Good info. much appreciated.
