Thank you! But I mean, amplifiers that uses transformer as a power supply, the same calculation of current needed to supply as of car amplifier?
13.8V x 15A is 207W from the power supply. The output from the amplifiers will not be 207W because some of the power supply power causes heating in the amplifiers.Thank you Mr Audioguru! However if I have a 13.8V 15A power supply, how would I know the output of an amplifier that this kind of power supply can handle?
Nobody can answer this question because all the details about the type of amplifier and the load impedance are missing.How about if I only use two amplifiers (left and right channel), what is the output of each amplier using a 13.8V 15A power supply?
Good sound systems use an active crossover using opamps to make the filters. Then the woofer has its own filter and power amplifier, the mid-range speaker has its own bandpass filter and power amplifier and the tweeter has its own filter and power amplifier.I always thought a crossover was for speakers by themselves, routing the output of the power amp to the speaker best able to handle the sound.
Audio levels fluctuate very much, maybe 100,000 times from low level to full level.How are the power levels maintained with op amps? From what I'm reading, I think the OP may be having problems with this too. If a amplifier outputs 25 watts, and (for the sake of argument) the mid range is 10 watts, are the op amps outputting 10 watts too, along with the power amp (at those frequencies)?
