I notice a lot of questions about bi-wiring or Bridge wiring these iNuke amps. Speakon can be confusing at first, but once you get it they make a lot of sense. The instructions should apply to other amplifiers, just check the manual to see that +1/+2 are the correct inputs for bridging if using another amp. So hopefully this video makes things a little more straight forward.
Sorry about my kids in the background and the camera frame being a little to low and left. I will improve as more videos come!

The terminal screws are not phillips, they are Pozidrive #1. While phillips will work, closer observation reveals the Pozi drive has additional tooling details that fit more securely in the tiny terminal screws that are easily damaged if overtightened or tightened with improper tooling. Neutrik (speakOn's manufacturer) has tons of wiring info and product info. Oh, and the other parts that screw on to the plug are "strain relief" which prevent strain on the screw connections which prevents them from pulling out when some moron pulls the connector out by the cable.

If you run 4 1000 watt power amplifiers on a single wall outlet that is on a 15 amp circuit breaker will the circuit breaker trip.

Probably not unless you run all 4 power amps at near max power continuously. It would take a very unusual set of circumstances.

If you were to run pa speakers directly off of a av receiver without a pro audio power amplifier would the pa speakers not be as loud.
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers

Not necessarily. It all depends on the power in the AV receiver or the PA amp. I use an AVR for my pro speakers in my home theatre. They’re pretty darn loud.

Is bare speaker wire obsolete and hardly ever used in PA systems
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 3 года назад
I assume you mean bare ends and not bare copper. I would say yes. Especially in PA system. Too much room for error switching polarity or touching and creating a short. Also once wired properly speakon is very fast. Speed can be very important for sound techs that setup and take down frequently.

@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 6 лет назад
BEAST BOOST you'll need an RCA to 1/4" TRS adapter. They're about $3. Then you'll want to wire the sub with both voice coils in series. From there I would bridge the amp and wire the speakon as shown in the video.

@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 6 лет назад
ENIGMA1626 totally you can. I do. You'll need preouts on your AVR to the inuke XLR inputs. Then you'll use Speakons like I show in this video to go from the amp to the speaker. Most home speakers don't have speakon so you'll need a bare wire or banana end on the speakon cables.

In Mono Bridge Mode using 2 conductor at the 1+ , 2+ conductors, are connectors at speakers left wired the same with no changes? Are they just jumped from one sub to the other with no modifications? I am curious because I dont know if the input jack on speakers will be ready to accept this wiring change...
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 4 года назад
ARay Maddy no, the speaker end will need to be wired accordingly. So the 1+ will go to 1+ and the 2+ will go to 1-. That is if I’m understanding what you’re asking. Basically, the speaker cabinet doesn’t know you’ve wired anything differently, so you need to adjust each end of the cable to match the amp and the speaker separately.

Can speakers put out more spl than what is stated in the speakers owners manual if you use a really good power amplifier to power your speakers and if the speakers are in a properly tuned enclosure like for an example if the owners manual for a speaker says it has a maximum spl of 90 db can it read 123 db on a spl meter if it’s powered by a really good power amplifier and if the enclosure for the speaker is tuned properly
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 3 года назад
Hmm, that really depends if the manufacturer is being conservative. Some can probably go higher, but the sound will compress a lot and not be very good. I wouldn’t buy a nice amp so the speaker will play louder. You’ll be disappointed
@travisgulley2652
@travisgulley2652 3 года назад
Does hooking up a active crossover and a graphic equalizer to a power amplifier make the subwoofers or speakers louder.
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 3 года назад
No unless either off those devices have an active preamp section. As in, they amplify the line voltage. Some devices will accept say 1.2V and the spit out 2.0V. Totally random numbers, but that will yield a louder result. Of course the amp can still only amplify so much. So although this will make the speakers loud all else equal, it won’t make the any louder than they can go. Short answer is no.

Hello! thanks for the video it was really helpful! However, I want to connect a 4ohm sub to the inuke 3000(non dsp) in bridged mode ... it seems that the built-in crossover is not working in bridged, is this correct? do I need to buy an external active crossover tu cut the HF before the inuke? Read a lot of posts around there with people connecting subs in bridge mode but no body is talking about using an external crossover. Thank you in advance!
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 4 года назад
Augusto Lopez Prieto I think that’s correct. Bridge mode will be full range. The XO will only work in dual channel mode. I can’t say I’ve tried it though, I’ve only ever used an external XO.

Hello, I would ask for a Little help in here. I own one amp like yours and I want to use it with 2 Behringer vp1800s subwoofers, so I have to switch it in The LF mode but It only works in stereo switch, would that be because my speakon connectors has 2 poles?, if I use a four poles speakon can I connect it to one of The Subs and then in parallel connect it from this sub to The other one?, and it would ne in mono mode switch? Thanks In advance!
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 6 лет назад
sbowl40 mono or stereo shouldnt have an impact on what speakon type you use. That only changes whether both channels operate identically with the same input or independently with separate input. I cant really understand what is going on with your setup. Are you using both inputs? If you are not using both input and using stereo then you will only get sound from one channel. If you are in mono your should get both subs to work. You will need a speakon cable for each sub to each channel if they are 2 con speakons.

May be a stupid question, but is it fine to wire a bridged mono cable using a 4-pole speakon on the amp side (+1 & +2) and use regular banana plugs on the passive subwoofer end?

i know this. I don't get, witch signal goes to the tweeter and witch to the woofer of the speaker...?
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 6 лет назад
lavdosh GJUZAJ that depends on whether you are using an active XO before the amp or the XO is built into the speaker passively. If the XO is in the speaker it doesnt really matter. If using active, follow the tweeter output on the active box to the tweeter on the speaker. Whether it is A or B on the amp won't really matter.

@sbowl40
@sbowl40 6 лет назад
Wow that was fast, Thank you very much. The thing is that If I switch The amp to The LF (low mode) I understand that it will only work one of The outputs A or B I can't remember, but if its not The case and both channels are working with The low frequencies I can use it in Stereo, would that sounds correct to you?
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 6 лет назад
sbowl40 oh I just got it. I see what your issue is. Yes if you use the built in 100hz crossover it only works with one of the outs. The other output will be frequencies above 100hz for your speakers. If you dont need the high frequencies then you probably need an external crossover before the amp to make both channels low frequencies only and set the amp to full range.
@sbowl40
@sbowl40 6 лет назад
Impulse Audio Exactly, or maybe I can use The amp in The bridge mode, with The LF set up using a 4 poles speakon from output A to one of The subwoofers and then using a regular 2 poles speakon I can connect from The first subwoofer to The other one, that way I would reduce The Ohms and increase The power. Do this sounds right to you?
@voiceofreason9238
@voiceofreason9238 6 лет назад
I am running Bridge mode into an Ultimax 15 with DVC. Will you please check my math because after your video stop, my confusion starts. I will wire the sub in series giving me a 4 Ohm load. After I wire the Inuke OUT with the 4-pole connector 1+ 2+, how do I wire the other end? I presume 1+ 2+. Then the Female socket would be wired 1+ 2+ to the sub voice coils?
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 6 лет назад
Just remember that 1+ 2+ becomes positive negative. So your series woofer wiring would go to the 1+ 2+ no differently than red / black. Hope that's what you needed...

Impulse Audio how do I determine the low pass conductors from the high pass ones, the labeling on the amp is confusing me
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 6 лет назад
Kashad Cartwright if you're using the built in 100hz crossover then channel B is the low pass (goes to sub). So that should be the 2+/2- inputs on the 4 pole speakon connector. The high pass (goes to speaker) is the 1+/1- on the speakon. So if your wire has say red white blue and green you need to know which colours you used for each channel and then at the other end keep it the same.

kenny play no not a lot. Just need the 4 XLR like you have and 4 speakon cables going to each monitor/speaker you're trying to drive. The speakers you're trying to drive also have speakon? There shouldn't be any strange wiring necessary unless you're trying to bridge 2 of the channels for a sub or something. Sorry I can't determine what is specifically the problem you're having.
