Hello,
I am very new to this forum and to the audio systems too.
I like listening to loud, bassy music and therefore have bought an amp of 2x350 output power
Skytec SPL-700 DJ PA Hifi Amplifier 700W USB SD MP3 System
The speakers that I bought it with are the
Hyundai Multicav Floor Standing Speakers
I am not an audiophile but I need to say I am pretty happy with the quality of sound I am hearing at the moment. The problem is that even though the sound I get delivered is loud and with no distortion what so ever I would like it to be louder or if not, at least have a bit better bass.
I did some research and found out that even really expensive speakers (talking £500+) have a range of frequencies from the sort of 35hz-30khz and output power of around 100 watts meaning I should not be targeting a more expensive speakers as they might even be more quiet than the ones I currently have. (1)
I play music from my laptop and when I put it to max volume I have observed that the "peak" lights on my amp start constantly flashing yellow when I turn both channels to 8 (out of 10). I know this is bad for the system (presumably the speakers) so therefore I can't get it any louder than that. (2)
I have also looked at subwoofers and I figured out that it could be a good idea to add one on to my system but then realised that I suffer enough knowledge on how to wire it and how to get power from both channels, not just one, without having to buy 2 subwoofers. (3)
(1) Should I look out for speakers with more subs, tweets in them (4-way, 5-way) thinking they will be louder as the output power usually lies and its more of a marketing technique (short-term/long-term wattage etc); and also look at the brand as well e.g. XARUS 500 by Wharfedale. Or should I just look out for bigger power out put e.g. the following:
TIBO EDGE 500 FLOOR STANDING SPEAKERS
(2) Do you guys think its the speakers that are too quiet or my amp is not giving enough power supply? And should I set up a new target and start looking for PA speakers instead?
(3) Regardless whether I buy new speakers, PA or floorstanders, or stay with my ones, how do I wire a subwoofer and how loud should it be in terms of RMS wattage as I don't want to end up having the bass be too much, leaving the music as a background?
Thank you so much in advance for your answers, advice etc.
