Here is what Im using FP 13000 driving my 186s with SD18EL:  
2350w RMS/ch at 8ohms, max rail voltage 195v, 8 steps output voltage selectable via dip switch with original Onsemi transistors

 Sir mackie,,,,napansin ko dito sa volume ng amps mo nakasagad sya. ako kc steady lng sa 1/2 ang volume ng mga amps ko at sa mixer nlang ako tumotudo ng volume, pag nakasagad ang volume ng amps so konting volume mo lng sa mixer eh malakas na,,ano kya ang maganda at tamang  pag volume ng mga amps  .censya na sir newbie lng kc ako sa sounds....maybe mayroong mga magaling dito na mag share din ng kanilang opinion..thanks,,,,gamit ko nga pala na power amps crell ca25 at Ma10

Its better to always always turn the power amp knob to max. Hindi sya volume control, its just simply an atenuator. kahit nasa kalahati lang sya at nilargahan mo naman sa mixer e ganun din, ibibigay din nya yung kanyang power na parang nakatodo sya. I would always put it on max para maluwag syang bumuga, just control it on the mixer according to the volume you want.

sir, wouldn't this practice be contrary to common gain structure suggestion here and in other forums to run the board near hot or hot and the power amps modulated as needed? mali po ba ako?

Ahh  ganon pala yon,,thanks sir..

magandang umaga mga sir, hingi po ko ng advice nyo kung ano pong subwoofer ang magandang imatch ko sa power amplifier na Yamaha P7000s, ano po watts and impedance ang dapat ko bilin para ma-maximize ko ang power ng amplifier ko? Balak ko po kc ung T&T or ung neusch, ipapares ko po to sa nasimulan ko nang setup ngayon, meron po kc ako ngayon dual 15" (450 watts + 450 watts + 1 crown horn), 1200 watts po ang total per box (trapezoid), gamit ko po Konzert K8, gusto ko mga sir na simulan na to at magamit sa mga maliliit na events, mga covered type. Ano po ba box ng sub ang kailangan ko gamitin? sana po ay matulungan nyo ko, maraming salamat po at God bless po sa ating lahat at sa Philmusic.

I tried the Peavey pv3800 power amp for my dual 18 subs.  So far it's been a good amp.  I bought it from audiophile pioneer branch last year.  It's around 41k (discounted).

ok rin bang gumamit ng peavey pv2000 amp sino na po nakagamit ni2

gud day sir, tawag lang po kayo 957-1261. tnx.

SIR OK RIN BA PEAVEY PV 2000 AMPS OLD MODEL NA DAW I2

meron nagbebenta sa kin ng ganito amp, galing US, wala naman paggagamitan yung me ari.. kayo gusto na nya idispose..
sa tingin nyo ba mga masters, kunin ko? para nga lang namamahalan kasi ako, 15K.. pede nb to?

ok po ba tong pang sub?
salamat sa inyo!

ok na ok na yan sa 15k sir.. pero mas ok pa if may tawad pa..

[septoclens]

ok na ok na yan sa 15k sir.. pero mas ok pa if may tawad pa..

sa katunayan e 20K sya binibigay ng me-ari, tinawaran ko lang.. sana nga makuha ko pa ng mas mababa e..
hehehe!

tnx ah! ok n rin b tong pang sub?

Bro, this amp has a power rating of 400 watts (at 8 ohms) per channel only.  It may not push those power hungry 18" woofers.

@ septoclens

Why not try the Crown LPS 2500?  It's around 17thou and it's slightly more powerful than the Peavey PV2000.  Ganda din ng reviews nito.

Try to check this link: http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php/topic,171665.0.html

They have this "bridge mono" config for the subs.  You can read it there. 

[septoclens]

@king james - salamat sa info.. parang gusto ko rin tong Crown na to e... very affordable ika nga! hehehe!

pro d po ba mas lamang ang PV2000 kesa sa LPs2500?

di po ako masyadong marunong sa specs.. tama po ba na mas me power tong PV2000 kapag naka bridge?

Bro have you read the link?  Sa nabasa ko kasi meron ng gumagamit ng Crown LPS2500 at bridge-mono to drive the PAudio SD 18el. That's a very large woofer.  No problem naman.

i'll go for the peavey kaysa sa crown lps series.. mas heavy duty..

...Bossing pag-ipunan mo na lang kasi ang isang amp na pwedeng pwede sa subs... Masyadong underpower itong Peavey Pv2000...I'm sure ito pa ang sisira sa 18" mo dahil kakapusin ka sa power...,,

Lifted from Sweetwater's Power Amplifier: Buying Guide

When you're matching a Power Amp to a PA Speaker, a good rule of thumb is to pick an amplifier that can deliver power equal to twice the speaker's continuous IEC power rating. This means a speaker with a "nominal impedance" of 8 ohms and a continuous IEC power rating of 350 watts will require an amplifier that can produce 700 watts into an 8-ohm load. For a stereo pair of speakers, the amplifier should be rated at 700 watts per channel into 8 ohms. A quality professional loudspeaker can handle transient peaks in excess of its rated power if the amplifier can deliver those peaks without distortion.

Using an amp with some extra "headroom" will help assure that only clean, undistorted power gets to your speakers. Some professional amplifiers are designed so they have additional headroom. These amps can cleanly reproduce transient peaks that exceed their rated power. In this case select a model with an output power rating equal to the continuous IEC power rating of the speaker. Consult the amplifier manufacturer or owner's manual to learn more.

In some applications, such as critical listening in a studio environment, it is important to maintain peak transient capability. For these applications, use an amplifier that can deliver 6db (or four times as much) more power than the continuous IEC power rating.

If budget restraints or legacy equipment force you to use an amplifier with less power, extreme care should be taken to see that the amplifier is not driven into clipping. It may surprise you to learn that low power can result in damage to your speaker or system.
