Does anyone have experience with the Infinity Reference 611A amplifier's ? I have a customer that wants to add another Infinity Reference 611A to his existing Infinity Reference 611A to power a single Kappa Perfect 12 DVC. I only deal with MTX and I know some of their higher end mono amplifiers are biampable, but not sure about the Infinity's.

I don't believe the Reference amps are strappable.

Yeah, you can't strap those amps together. I'm not sure that woofer needs any more power, but you could run one amp on each voice coil and gain around 250 watts or so. Isn't that woofer only rated at 175 watts per voice coil, you already have 650 watts, do you need 900? Just a thought. Tell him he won't gain any audible output (+1 - 1.5 dB at best), so unless he's competing, not to bother. Better yet, get another woofer and run two. If you do end up running an amp on each voice coil, MAKE SURE YOU BALENCE THE GAINS, WITH A METER. Very important.

Later,

That's too bad. The Infinity Kappa Perfect is rated at 400 RMS and 1200 peak.

The amp Reference 611A is not enough for him and he has the opportunity to get another one for a good deal.

Just wanted to weigh our my options here for him. That or else I can get him into a TA81001 MTX and run those subs at 1 ohm load and pound the crap out of them Bi-amping Class D Amplifiers -- posted image.

Why do you say that? Are you also of the misunderstanding that "the woofer could be damaged" if this condition is not met? It is absolutely unimportant to "balance the gains", unless you are looking to eke EVERY tenth of a dB from your system. No harm will come to any portion of the system, even if you ran one amp all the way down, and the other all the way up. Hell, run one of the coils 180 degrees out, and it still wont hurt anything...

Please elaborate on your reasoning for that statement...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Just one question... How is that not enough for him? He needs a new setup then.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.
