buttkicker amp

[Moldyplum]

Sorry, never owned a playseat so I can't recommend to you the best transducer to place on your rig. Let alone where to place them.

Maybe you can place a mini-lfe under the pedal plate? Would be nice to have effects from the front and back of the car after all.

Maybe someone else can chip in?

Rigged up the inuke yesterday and it performs brilliantly goner add a nother mini lfe to the footplate at some time thanks logiforce and others for all your advice. im one happy racer cheers

Glad to hear this. My initial big impression was the light weight of these amps. You can lift them in the air with one hand. Than when you hook them up they sound great on top of that (hooked my hifi speakers (80 watt RMS @ 8 ohm) to them at some point).

Anyhow, enjoy your new found rumbling days.

1 last question i like to have the amp running with one red light on constantly this gives me a nice level of feedback if i spin out and hit the barrier it jumps up 3 red lights for a second would you say this is ok because i do not want to damage the amp or buttkiker . the buttkicker doesnt seem like it is bottoming out at all. Thanks

3 red lights? It has just 1 red light per channel, the other 3 are orange lights.

As long as the top red light does not light up, you are fine. The top red light means that there is clipping and you should reduce volume.
If the 3 orange lights light up everything is fine.

You could have read this in the manual though.

Hi would i be able to run a 100watt kwoon transducer of my amp they are 2 ohm and there are 3 of them on chanel a thanks for your help

Hi Moldyplum - Your amp can be set for 2 ohm, 4 ohm or 8ohm, but I don't think it can be set for 6ohm (Logiforce can confirm I am sure).

If you have 2 ohm transducers then if they are wired in "series" 2 transducers would create a 4 ohm load of 100W which would be fine for one channel of your amp.

If you buy an extra kwoon transducer you can wire all four to one channel in what is known as series parallel configuration which would create a 2 ohm load of 400W. You could then run your Buttkicker transducer off the other amp channel.

If you are not sure what series or parallel or series parallel means there is lots of information on the internet.

It should be able to do 6 ohm as it can handle up to a resistance of up to at least 8 ohm.

The think is that the power output is split in half with each doubling of resistance. So for example...

500 Watt @ 2 Ohm
250 Watt @ 4 Ohm
125 Watt @ 8 Ohm
62.5 Watt @ 16 Ohm

So if you hook up three 2 Ohm speakers you get 6 Ohm, so that would result in 187.5 Watt power output per channel.

So if you want to wire the 3 speakers in series you will need an amplifier power output of 3x 100 Watt = 300 Watt. Now the issue is that the amplifier only delivers slightly more than half of this, only 187.5 Watt, and this it can not power 3 of these in series. It can not even power 2 of them in series.

Also do not wire your speakers up in parallel. This will increase the resistance. So 3x 2 Ohm parallel = 0.67 Ohm resistance. The amplifier can't handle this, as it only does (at least my DSP version) does from 2 Ohm up to 16 Ohm.


So the answer to your question is, I wouldn't try it. Or trade the amp in and buy a more powerful version.

Ok thats good they went on ebay £43.00 ididnt win thanks for the info

could anyone recomend an lfe i could run of chanel a . Only chanel a runs at 100hz above and chanel b runs at 100hz below

Flip the crossover switch on the back of the iNuke and you get full range on both channels.
It's between the inputs on the right.

So these since it's 2x300W/4Ohm. These will do...

Only one of these transducers per channel though.
