Well I bought an amp. It's only a QSC GX3, but considering that I am a poor college student the whole setup truly impresses me. So far I am absolutely hooked on this hi fi addict thing. Thanks for the help guys!!
Dahlquist DQ 10 help.
Im new into the whole hi fi thing. My father gave me a pair of DQ 10's and I want to purchase an amp or reciever to drive them. I want to double check everything I know cause they are in the family and I don't want to destroy them. I re foamed em and everything checks out, I just want to fire em up now and let them sing.
The paperwork says they handle 200 watts and are 8 ohms. Just checking that I understand all this correctly. Im a former electrical engineering student and I have developed a bit of OCD tendencies concerning anything power electronics. I understand the technical aspect of wiring correct polarity and what wiring to use. My questions concern semantics mostly, when buying an amp or receiver, when it says 2 X 200 watts I assume that's two channels that each provide 200 watts.
I have also read many different things about connections and mono and stereo methods of driving them. I was wondering if anyone would help me with what I should do.
Finally topic, any suggestions on what I should use to drive these babies, also how much do I really need a sub and what equipment change would that provide.
Thank you for all the help,
Dave
