Hi all!

Could be any problem to feed a JBL W12GTI with a XPA-1?. It would work at 3 ohm

JBL W12GTI: www.jbl.com/estore/jbl/us/products/W12GTi-MkII/W12GTI%20MKII_JBL_US

Peak: 4000 watts | RMS: 700 watts
Impedance: Dual 6 ohm (3 ohm parallel)
Sensitivity: 91 dB

Thanks !

Kick ass, do it!
A good HiFi quality, class AB power amp works very well as sub amp, much more musical than the less sophisticated offerings.

Cheers

I had thought to buy a Behringer EP4000 power amp but my friend made me a good deal for a XPA-1... it is more money but it is also more beautiful.
I do not want problems with the amperage. It worked at 3 ohm (probably less with some frequencies).

Are you sure about there is no problem?

EDIT: Ok, just surfing the web I found it (http://emotivalounge.proboards.com/thread/15571)
