AMPLIFIER CONSIDERATIONS

Consult your amplifier owner's manual to confirm power output at the rated impedance.
The AHSUB15-BSG exhibits an 8 Ohm (nominal) impedance.
(x2) AHSUB15-BSG paralleled will present a 4 Ohm load to the amplifier.
(x3) AHSUB15-BSG paralleled will present a 2.66 Ohm load to the amplifier.
(x4) AHSUB15-BSG paralleled will present a 2 Ohm load to the amplifier.
ATLAS SOUND speaker system specifications list RMS power handling.
As a reference, peak power = RMS x 1.414.
These ratings should be considered in selecting the best amplifier to power the speaker system.
For general use, amplifier output should match or exceed the RMS rated power of the speaker system
(250 Watts).
For increased headroom and dynamic reproduction, the amplifier's output should match or exceed the
peak power rating of the speaker system (354 Watts).
In situations where experienced professionals are operating the speaker system with proper limiting and
frequency control devices inserted into the signal path and adjusted properly, amplifier output may meet,
but should not exceed 2x the RMS power rating of the speaker system (500 Watts).
Utilizing the Atlas Sound model CP700 power amplifier will allow you to easily match required power
ratings for most any installation. Visit www.AtlasSound.com for more details on this product.
