11 pairs of speakers on a Connect Amp? Across 2 speaker selectors?
What is that like 2-3 watts per speaker after losses. Assuming the Connect Amp isn't burning itself up from improper setup (to low of impedance).
I'm sorry, we can debate all we want about how cheap the customer was. But the installer should have never hooked something like that up. It clearly shows a hack, that has no business in this industry.
At the very least, there should have been a cheap 2ch amp with (1) speaker distribution point.
For the difference in price between the Connect and Connect Amp, they would be a god way toward buying a Dayton 12 channel amp, but they would still need to control the level of each pair. Piss poor system design, IMO. Even if they used a good 2 channel amp, each speaker is still not getting much power and if they like it loud, the more expensive SSVC pieces is rated for 200W peak, so.....
