My future pair of active LFRs will be fed by a 1500 for the woofers and a 1000-8 for everything else. According to the ADA manual and specs on the Axiom site, I'll have 2300 continuous and 7500 dynamic Watts to share between the pair. The break-down for each speaker is as follows. The first number is the continuous rating and the second is peak:

a. woofers: 650/2250
b. front mids: 187.5/375
c. rear mids: 187.5/375
d. front highs: 62.5/375
e. rear highs: 62.5/375

Although the 1000 can share 1000W/3000W amongst the drivers it's feeding, it can only feed about 188/375 to each mid array. I expect therefore my system to ultimately be limited by the power available to the mids.

I don't expect to have any SPL limitation at my 12 foot listening distance particularly given the 800 that will be fed from my Onk and the two 500s being fed off of each DSP. But say I do end up putting a 7500W peak in with no subs. My system will only handle a 1500W mid-range peak (375*4) before some channels of the 1000 go into protection. That's only about 20% mid content (1500/7500) and I've read typical music is 44% mids. Now I don't know where that range starts and stops so the 1500/HP drivers may take some of the load below 250Hz.

Anyway, even if I had more power available for the mids, I'm not sure they can take it. I figure it's the mids that are the weakest compression link in typical music.

Not that I expect to be anywhere close to a practical limit in my application mind you.
