Power Amp question!!

Posted on

I just got a Carvin dcm2000l.
I will be using it to power my Basson 8x10, which requires at least 1500w @ 4ohms.

The issue I have is that the manual says It needs its own 20a circuit to deliver full power. Thats fine. I can do that.
But I will be using this rig for touring, and I am concerned with venues not having any 20a circuits for me!
I want to know what the effect would be if I were to run the amp bridged down to attain full power, but through 15a. Would my amp still work, but at a loss of power. Or would this be a hazard?

Well, I can't find the PDF with all of the specs on it. But, I use amps like this on a daily basis. And yes, 15 amp circuit is just fine.

Nothing lower. Try to keep it around 15 - 20.
