[Bi amping RF-7II’s]

@Zen.. def buying a SPL meter within the week. Going to do this right..

 

@babadono lol.... can you hear me now ??

 

Thats what I was trying to figure out.

 

I don’t need to bi amp... Through some

research, I found that I can bridge the KDA-1000 via the GUI..

 

The manuals don’t tell you shite...

Thanks Pete !

Much Gratitude 

 

Basically, I do not want to under power the speakers in fear of blowing them via distortion. 

 

I also want to improve the low end down to 50hz and then have my 3 subs handle the lower frequencies.

 

My intention was to put 500 Watts “TOTAL”

to each RF-7, equaling 1- KDA-1000.

I just did some research and found that I can BRIDGE 1/2 & 3/4 via GUI if needed.

 

in your opinion would you go my route(500w) or stick with not bridging any channels and going with 250w per RF-7.

i also 100% do not want to blow the 7’s... lol.

I wish Klipsch’s cust serv would straighten their act out and start responding to their customers.

Had I known they were like this, I NEVER would have purchased over 15K in KLIPSCH products... But IMO ya can’t beat the sound.

 

Again Pete,

Much Gratitude

You need to learn the difference between RMS and Peak ratings before you go any further.

 

Maybe if you explained why you need 500 watts/speaker we would better understand what you're trying to accomplish.

Great point ZEN !!!

The question I feel you need to ask yourself is "how loud SPLwise do you want to listen?"and work backwards from there. You may be surprised how little power you need to get the dB you want.

EXCUSE ME BRO... You need to learn some people skills. IMO.... You sound a little

arrogant and cocky over that KEYBOARD....

Terminology and understanding  complex audio are not the issue.... BRO

 

I quite clearly stated that I did not SEE the 250 rms.. not that I did not understand it. WTF ???

 

Do me a favor Bro... Please stay out of conversation..

 

have a a great day

Speakers are 250 RMS each.  1000w peak doesn't mean that they'll handle 1000 watt amp for any length of time or even 500.

Great point.. ya know I never even saw the 250 rms.

only saw the 1000... now I’m rethinking .. lol...

 

CAN NOT believe I missed that !!

Much Gratitude  Bro

I mainly want the front to have more power while listening to music. 500 watts per speaker.

 

I’m putting 250 watts per ch to the remaining 13 speakers.

Why do you need/want that much power going to them?  {EDIT: They are rated by Klipsch  at 102 dB@ 2.83v/1 meter.}

 Not putting jumpers back on.?.?.? I’m thinking you did not understand/read my initial post.. but, thanks anyway....

 

I’m trying to feed the RF-7II’s with more than 250 watts per channel. Speakers are 1000 watts ea.

My KDA-1000 amps are 4 channel (250x4) non bridgeable........

this is why I’m REMOVING straps and BI AMPING.

 

I might just pull crossover and see how it’s wired.

I tried contacting Klipsch 4X’s, but the Arse farts don’t answer and I’m out on Tele prompted  HOLD for over 40 min each time.. 

Also put in 4 call/email  back requests.

NEVER answered....

HORRIBLE Customer/Tech service..

 

I have over $15,000 in Klipsch products for my theater  and I can’t get a simple answer from them.....

 

Thats why I’m on here ... and still at square 1...

 

To all ..... Thanks for your input.

Thanks. That is what I thought.

my concern is.... Will the Tweeter handle 250 watts?

i know the speaker handles 1000 watts.

[Bi amping RF-7II’s]

Figured I’d put it under 2 specific forums..

[Bi amping RF-7II’s]

So I have a Klipsch KDA-1000 4 Ch amp that I want to use to power a pair of RF-7II’s.

I will use two ch (500 watt) per speaker.

my ? Is ..

I’m trying to find out how are the speakers separated internally when I remove the binding posts.

I will be putting 1- 250 watt channel per binding post..(500 watts total).

basically, what’s the TOP post going too and what’s the BOTTOM post going too.

 

whats the crossover doing ????

 

thanks,

Bill
