Which amp/speaker configuration will draw less current from a 20A/120V outlet: a 4-ohm load on one channel, or and 8-ohm load on both channels.
I am wondering this because for monitors I have 4 JRX112's and 2 XTI2000's. I had been running 1 monitor per amp channel, but the guitar player in the band I run sound for recently made the switch to IEMs for which I am VERY grateful (lower stage volume
) So I had taken his wedge and daisy chained it with one of the other ones for other band members to hear better, and left open the amp channel it was on. Should I just leave it this way, or should I parallel the amp so the same signal will go to both outputs and run a wedge off of each channel? I have been in a few sketchy situations lately as far as available power to plug into so I am trying to reduce my AC needs all together. I had been running a PLX1802 bridged for my MRX515 tops (900W to each) but I recently picked up a GX7 to run in stereo (725W each) which also reduces my draw and allows me to start panning things around.
On a related note, I have been looking into distros but I know very little about how to make one. Would the one that Peavey makes be worth a look, or is it more economical to make my own?
