Posted April 28, 201114 yr First of all I used the forums' search feature and I did not find any topics under "impedance rise".I currently am powering my XCON with a Crescendo 3kwp. I set the amplifier gain and ssf with my dvm. My XCON is wired for 1 ohm. With a little math my wrms output of my 3kwp should be around 1750 using -3db test tones ranging from 32-60hz.So here is my thoughts on impedence rise. I used a dvm and test tones to set my amplifier gain. This does not take into account any impedance rise between the narrow band of frequencies that my XCON plays. It also does not take into account any inconsistencies in the recording level of the music I play. Wouldn't it be beneficial for me to look at impedance rise and possibly readjust the gain setting on my 3kwp? Atleast I would be able know the average impedance of the system. I know I would need a clamp meter which would also help in fine tuning the gain setting. I have a feeling I can turn up the gain a tad more but I need more proof that I can and keep the output of the 3kwp under 2k.
