Camco Vortex V6

Hi Guys,

Anyone out there used this power amp Camco Vortex V6. Is it worth going this route to run bass heavy speakers?

Hmmmm. Is this spam?

From what I've heard, it's a phenomenal amp, though a better fit for live sound duty given the power requirements. If you don't get a response, try one of the live sound boards like: http://forums.prosoundweb.com/index.php#c1

I was thinking again to run my 4x Pheniox of this looking at the spec what it can do http://www.camcoaudio.com/Vortex.html. Dam i' m confused .

Certainly possible since it goes down to 2 ohms, but at 3300 wpc, that's not a whole lot into those Phoenix, which probably should be fed 3300 each. So you could do 2 Phoenix per amp. Running 4 will work (I believe the Phoenix are 4 ohm, so 2 paralleled per side would be 2 ohms) but they won't be getting enough power to work at peak performance.

Cheers Steve, Looks like it may have to be 2 x Q1212 to run the phenix for me which works within my budget.

You might look at the QSC PLX3602's in that case... they'll cost roughly the same new or used as the Q1212... but, are a LOT lighter weight than the Q1212
