You should be fine. As long as either one of your subs is large enough to physically accommodate the amp properly. The weight damping on the Sub from the amp should minimize any large or even micro vibration effects on either unit’s electronics.
Can I put amp on top of subwoofer?
Putting your receiver or amplifier above your subwoofer will strain it physically, having loose bolts and loose adhesives, which will cause permanent damage over time. Unless the subwoofer is not in use, putting electrical components above your subwoofer is a bad idea.
Is it OK to stack amplifiers?
The amplifier needs to be able to radiate any heat it generates whilst it’s in use so placing devices on top of isn’t something we’d encourage.However as the amplifier is usually the heaviest component in most systems, this can limit the amount of equipment that should be placed under an amp in a stack.
Can speakers damage an amp?
Speakers can damage an amplifier. When the speaker’s impedance is below the amplifier’s impedance range, the speakers will draw more power than the amplifier can deliver. This will cause the amplifier to overheat and damage over time.
Can you hook a amp up to speakers?
Connect the RCA, speaker, and remote turn-on leads to your amp. Feed the RCA cable along the bottom of the doors, then plug it into the back of the amp. Once you’ve done this, plug the speaker and remote turn-on leads into the back of the amp. These wires may be different colors, depending on the manufacturer.
Is it OK to put things on top of speaker?
Sure. It will fall off eventually due to the vibration. And you may hear the lamp buzzing due tot he vibration. But having a lamp on it won’t kill anything.
Is it OK to stack subwoofers?
What Stacking Subwoofers Does. The only benefit to stacking subwoofers is simple – greater output. When you put one subwoofer on top of the other, you effectively increase the output (volume). In your room, that equates to about a 6dB increase in volume.
Can you stack amps on top of each other?
You can stack them up but don’t have them right against the wall or should I say too close to the wall.
How much space do you need around an amplifier?
Although there’s no definitive specification, we recommend a minimum of 5 inches of ventilation space on top and 2 inches on either side of the receiver/amplifier to reduce the risk of the amplifier overheating and tripping the Protection Circuit when playing at moderate to high volume output levels.
Should my amp be more powerful than my speakers?
Generally you should pick an amplifier that can deliver power equal to twice the speaker’s program/continuous power rating. This means that a speaker with a “nominal impedance” of 8 ohms and a program rating of 350 watts will require an amplifier that can produce 700 watts into an 8 ohm load.
Does a more powerful amp make speakers sound better?
More power may help in large rooms or with low efficiency speakers or it could be a waste. Up to a point louder sounds better and more powerful amps can avoid clipping, which is a very gross form of distortion and can damage speakers.
Should your amp have more watts than speaker?
As a very vague rule of thumb, we normally recommend around twice as much amplifier power as speaker’s power rating. For example, if a speaker is rated at 200 watts, we’d use a 400 watt amp. Again, the idea is to have enough clean power to handle whatever you throw at the amp without clipping.
How do you amplify speakers?
How to Amplify Speaker Sound
- Purchase an amplifier that is rated for twice the wattage of the speaker.
- Connect the audio device to the amplifier using the speaker wire.
- Connect the amplifier to the speakers by running speaker wire from the audio output terminals on the amplifier to the speakers.
Can you sit on subwoofer?
as long as you aren’t placing any direct pressure on the woofer, it should be fine.
Where is the best place to place a subwoofer?
A subwoofer placed in the corner of a room may increase the subwoofer’s output – causing the sub to sound louder. Try placing your subwoofer in a corner and see how it sounds. However, depending on your floor space, a corner might not be a viable option for your subwoofer if it’s too far from your listening area.
Do I need dual subwoofers?
Dual subwoofers will greatly increase the available system headroom, providing greater dynamic range, reduced output compression, lower distortion, and less potential for overdrive artifacts. In short, running duals will give you cleaner, more accurate bass at extreme drive levels.
Can you stack SVS subs?
Absolutely! No problem at all stacking them and no need to worry about the top one falling.
Why Do People stack amps?
Stacks can be better for studio settings
This gives the player and the engineer the ability to compare amps and tweak settings from a comfortable, neutral setting. This arrangement also lets the player or the producer hear the amp and speakers just as the microphones do, which leads to a better performance and mix.
Can you stack amp heads?
As long as their is room for air to flow between the amps it should be fine, 1inch is typically all you need although more would be better if playing for long periods of time, one thing you can do is extend the amp raisers from the bottom of the pt to increase the distance between the two amps; if it is that much of an
Can you stack preamps?
You can use two preamps as long as you balance the gain on the preamps to have enough headroom, so the audio signal doesn’t clip or distort. You can either connect the preamps in series or parallel and mix the two tones together.
Can you hook up two amps to one sub?
A single voice coil sub won’t work with the two amps and will result in the outputs being fried as soon as you turn it on. A dual voice sub and the same amps can be done, but it needs to be effectively balanced. However, two amps one sub is definitely possible.
