Hey Guys,
I have a Dynacord Powermate 1000 along with 2 EV SX500 speakers. Right now I have them set up as left and right. The speakers make a popping noise when I start to crank up the volume. (usually when lows hit). The SX500 speakers are rated for 500 watt 8 ohms. My Powermate says on the back 2 x700 Watt @ 4 ohms, 2 x 350 watt @ 8 ohms. I think in this current configuration that I am only supplying 350 watts to each speaker... in essence starving them for power. Is this correct and if so, how can I fix this issue and still use the Powermate 1000? I think I can fix this issue simply by using only one output channel and rewiring the speakers in parallel (thereby making the system 4 ohms and being able to use the full 700 watts on each channel). Am I on the right track with this one? Thanks for the help!
