qsc rmx1850HD rmx4050HD kayang kaya ang 2 ohms load na pangmatagalan, HD (heavy duty) version for 2 ohms stereo loads at 4 ohms bridged load,

"Like its smaller sibling (the RMX 1850HD), the RMX 4050HD is one of two RMX "Heavy Duty" models designed to work as hard into 2 ohm loads as most competing amplifiers will at 4 ohms." qsc website

definitely less than 100k.
Am sure kapag 4 ohms lang ang load siguradong no problem subukan mong load 2 ohms very time you use sa palagay ko hindi tatagal in 1 year yong unit may masisira na parts , yung makaka load ng 2ohms na amp ay  depende sa power supply ng amp kung gano kalaki ang amperahe ang ginamit,dyan mo malalaman kung totoong 2 ohms stable ang isang amp kung sasabihin ang isang amp ay 2 ohms stable at ang power supply ay maliit at mababa ang mga value ng caps hindi totoong 2 ohms stable yan at kung masiyadongn mataas
ang baising hindi matibay ang pagkagawa. Madaling masunog ang speaker pati ang amp hindi stable ang curciut

hehe, live lang talaga ang "2-ohms" stable.. :-D tested na nila sa davao for 1HOUR, walang nasira. :-D

but seriously, yung RMX1850HD is two stable. kahit lagi mong gamitin (proper use) sa two ohms, di ka isasabit nyan.

yung size ng power supply has more to do with the theoretical doubling of power with every halving of load impedance. and qsc is fully aware of this kaya mapapansin na ang power per channel sa 4 ohms ay mas mababa sa 2x ng power per channel sa 8ohms. unless the transformer is severely undersized, then there is no worries running on two ohms load.

and biasing is more on the minimum idle current to minimize crossover distortion.  yung longevity of parts (amp section, not psu) sa 2-ohms ay sa SOA ng transistors tinitignan.  check the power dissipated per transistor on 2-ohms load and plot it against the SOA curve ng output trannies. dun mo makikita kung masisira yung output trannies o hindi. as for the RMX1850HD, pasok na pasok ang power dissipation sa SOA.

nope hindi po parehas. I am not doubting RMX series, pero sa post mo doubtful ka. at sa post ko, hindi ko binased sa biasing ang tibay ng isang amp.

measure it!

load the amp with dummy load (8r/4r/2r whichever load you want to test at) then inject a sine wave at the frequency of interest to the amp. increase output level until clipping occurs (monitor via the use of an oscilloscope). then compute the power from the Vpk measured on the oscilloscope. this measures the power on the onset of clipping.

to test the power at certain THD level, do the above test set-up while monitoring the output with a THD meter. then stop increasing the output level when the THD limit is reached. with the oscilloscope, measure Vpk then from Vpk compute the power.

since lumabas ang rmx 1850HD gamit na namin sir. we opted for this HD model kaysa sa more powerful rmx 2450 for durability, looking on both model's schematics, they both have the same quantity of output power transistors but they operate at different supply voltages, which makes the hd model heavy duty on 2 ohm loads.
and i won't question qsc's reputation on amplifier building and specifications..


@ sir lighttech
very well said sir, and adding that the qsc rmx1850HD uses class H topology even on a low output power of 360, 600 and 900 watts at 8, 4 and 2 ohms load respectively, less stress are on the  output power trannies.

Mga sir dont get me wrong hindi ko sinasabing bumili kayo ng live products , i just want to tell na hindi lahat ng china products are bad alam ko marani sa inyo have a bad experience with china products pero sana wag niyo lahatin , aminin na natin hindi lahat tayo kayang bumili nang mahal na gamit hindi rin lahat ng branded ay matitibay lahat naman may weak point. Kaya ko explain ang isang good amp kahit hindi live bilhin niyo wag lang kayong magkanali ulit sa pag pili ng isang mahusay na amp na ayon sa gamit niyo.

Ang complicated naman hindi ba puwede by just look how many power transsistor and the power supply to compute it? Kasi kapag bibili kana nang amp hindi mo naman puwede dalhin ang oscillioscope? Yung simple lang ?

aba e kung mali di talaga uubra. mali nga e.. :-D  pero ang biasing is on the IDLE current (i am talking about output section biasing here). biasing is typically set to a minimum value that ensures that cross-over distortion is mitigated. and again since yung biasing e sinagot mo sa post regarding qsc amps, qsc biasing is ok.  halos di nga umiinit ang heatsink pag naka-idle ang qsc amp. one telltale sign that biasing is WAY TOO HIGH is that the output tranisistor heatsinks goes warm to hot at IDLE.

nope, that wont do. kung bibili ka ba ng amp, pwede bang buksan mo at bibilangin ang power trannies? :-D tapos paano kung sangkatutak nga ang power trannies, tapos napakalaki ng mga capacitors at power traffo pero di naman pala kayang itulak ng driver/VAS section yung output section?
IMHO, you will really have to measure to verify if the specs are true.

buy an amp with a reputable specification sir,, so far di pa ako bumili ng amp na binubuksan ko sa dealer, count the trannies, check the supply voltages,

the method lighttech said is used by amplifier manufacturers and their service centers to ensure quality. some geeks in another forum are also using this method, also with an oscilloscope and a signal gen, u can perfectly set the bias of an amp by looking at its waveform on its crossover, kung may glitch or gap, kailangan smooth ang transition ng positive at negative signals.

may tanong ako..bakit gustong gusto nyo mag load ng 2ohms?

ako honestly 4 ohms lang ako or 8 ohms, i wont stress my amplifier, nag hahahap lang kayo ng gastos pag nasira ang amp nyo.  sabagay pag technician ka lahat gusto mo matuklasan,  :roll:
 

at payo ko lang if you a budget go for a branded one para hindi sumakit ang ulo nyo.

+1 sa hindi paggamit ng 2-ohms loading. personally di rin ako magloload below 4ohms.  nagrereply lang ako sa discussions ng two ohms loading with rmx HD series kasi alam kong kaya talaga ng amp.  kung 4 din  lang na 8 ohms ang load mo to achieve two ohms loading, then you are in the area of diminishing returns. (comparing the power recieved by each of the 8ohm speakers comprising the 2-ohm combination with the power rating of the amp at 8ohms load, it will be lower. )  i assume uso ang 2-ohms loading sa mga areas na uso ang paramihan ng speakers (at palakasan)..

Sir eirol at sir ligohttech alam namin maraming kayong pera pambili ng branded na mamahalin  na gamit sa akin lang tinuturuan ko lang ang mga walang budet na pumili ng isang amp na babagay sa gamit nila mas madami dto na practical lang yung kaya nang bulsa at makabawi sa gastos  :-D never ako nag sinabi na bumili sila ng live hehehe :-D

the way you answer posts kasi ay parang binabash yung mga ibang amps. i am just irritated when endorsers of brand x bashes other brands to make brand x look good. i am not rich, i buy  chinese products din. in fact nag-umpisa ako sa mga diy amps.


note walang amp company na nagsabi na gamit niyo ang amp niyo sa 2 ohms ,kaya ang sabi ko hindi tumatagal pag gamitan niyo ng 2 ohms ,

 sa quote ni sir eirol from qsc website, ""Like its smaller sibling (the RMX 1850HD), the RMX 4050HD is one of two RMX "Heavy Duty" models designed to work as hard into 2 ohm loads as most competing amplifiers will at 4 ohms." so i think there is at least one company that says so..

At sa pag kilatis nang isang amp pakiusapan niyo ang dealer na buksan para makita mo anong part no ng transistor , tapos hanapin mo sa goggle makikita mo yung wattage ng parts times mo kung ilan pcs ang ginamit times mo ulit sa voltage na pumapasok sa trasistor duon malalaman mo na kung tama ba ang rating na nakasulat sa spec nila paano mo kukunan sa oscillescope kung hindi mo pa nabibili, kung branded ang bibilhin mo sigurado ko hindi mo na kaylangan nang pagtesting bilhin mo na lang pero kung kaya nang bulsa mo hehehe , spend your money wisely, hirap kitahin ngayon ang pera  :-D
transistor wattage times number of pieces times voltage= power?  i don't think so,  that is not a valid formula to compute power output..
kung mapapaki-usapan yung dealer na buksan ang ampli na hindi mo pa nabibili (which will destroy factory warranty seals if there is any), then siguro naman papayag sya sa non-destructive testing with an oscilloscope. :-D at tsaka sinagot ko lang naman po yung tanong ninyo kanina paano malalaman kung totoo ang specified power rating ng isang amp. tapos nung sinagot ko yung tanong ninyo ng sa palagay ko ay technically correct na sagot , nag-iba na ang sitwasyon. yung amp pala na iveverify, di pa pala nabibili.. ano ba talaga kuya? :-D 
if you really care about where to spend your hard earned money, i suggest you research first on a product you intend on buying. wag magtanong sa dealer kung ok ba ang product nila kasi walang dealer ang magsasabi na hindi ok ang ibinebenta nila. ask the users of that product then from that decide if it is worth buying. also know the limits of the product, and use it properly.
sometimes it is better to buy a more expensive but reputable product(branded) as compared to buying a cheap product but will be plagued with problems later on that you will end up spending more.

Ok cge magdala na lang tayo ng oscilloscope palagi pag bibili tayo ng amp. Para malaman niyo kung ok yung amp or just simple things to do lang,  kayo na lang bahala mga sir sana naman kung pahiramin mo na lang kami nang mga test instrument mo, or may papayag bang tindahan na pa oscilliscope nila paninda nila or mas madali kung pa open na lang ang cover nang amp ano kaya sasabihin nang tindera na gagamitan mo muna nang oscilliscope bago mo bilihin ang unit. Pag branded wala nang testing ok na yun basahin mo na lang yung reviews sabi ni sir tjlimjoco.  :-D

mahal kasi sila ang nagdedesign, nagbabayad sila ng engineers, then testing, torture test nila hanggang umusok, binabato ang ampli sa itaas ng building nila, pupulutin, then itetesting ulit. then if papasa saka sila magproproduce ng maramihan for selling. kaya sa branded amps wala lumalabas na model taon taon, kasi malaki puhunan sa R&D.and they use superior reliable components which adds to the price.

pag china brands, ayun kopyahin na lang nila gawa ng branded, tapos na, no sweat,paandarin,  i calibrate, then sell na . and they use inferior components compared to components used by leading brands

wala nga pera sir kaya kinikilatis namin bibilhin namin maigi, barok nga system namin eh

anong formula yun sir? wattage na nga times voltage pa? anong unit na lalabas yun? as far as i know power is the product of voltage and current. and voltage squared divided by the load resistance or current squared multiplied by the load resistance. specs ng transistor is just their power dissipation, most amps are not that efficient, di lahat sa signal lang napupunta, some are wasted in the form of heat, then if yung designer used only what percentage of the power dissipation ng device ang ginamit para mas reliable, di na natin masyado malalaman yun
