Page 3 GENERAL AMPLIFICATION NOTES & REQUIREMENTS • For the purpose of this discussion: Crown MA series amplifiers are used below. HF indicates High Frequency drivers, MF indica tes Mid Frequency drivers, LF indicates Low Frequency drivers and VLF stands for Ve ry Low Frequency drivers (subwoofers).
Page 4 NOTES ON SUBWOOFER WIRING • VT4880: Users may choose to wire both 2258 ( 18”) components in parallel to one (1) channel of a MA-3600 or MA-5002 for (4) ohms load. In this case each amplifier channel drives one VT4880. If two VT4880 are wired in parallel, the load is two ohms and there will be no amplifier power headroom.
Page 5 NOTES REGARDING LIMITER SETTINGS • The recommended limiter threshold settings pr ovide 3 dB of headroom before the component or bandpass peak voltage is reached. • The component or bandpass peak voltage is 6 dB above the voltage used at continuous maximum power.
