## Questions & Answers

**Q: will these crown xli series amplifiers work well for home theater use or would the fan noise be to much**
A: I am using it in a home theater application. There is no fan noise at all. The Crown XLI series amplifiers are a great choice when considering a pro amp for home theater use.  After finally getting one I wouldn't even think of getting anything else.

**Q: 4 - 100 watt speakers at 8ohms each. They are 360 watt peak each. Is this amp enough for these speakers. amp to speaker then spkr to speaker on ea ch.**
A: The output of the XLI 800 @ 8 ohms is 200 W per channel x 2 channels=400W.   In my opinion this model is not the proper size for 4 100 watt speakers.  Upgrading to the 1500, would be a better match.

**Q: Is it possible to power car subwoofers with this amp?**
A: Yes it is.  I have a 2.1 stereo in my house.  I've been powering a JBL W12 GTi MKII with my xli 3500 for years.  Of course the amp is in my house and not in a car.

**Q: Why does my amp keep shutting off when I turn it on and all I have are two electra-voice 15" passive speakers with gain set about 40 percent?**
A: There are many variables that could be causing this but the bottom line is it's most likely a short somewhere in the system. Disconnect the speaker wires from the back of the amp and try turning it on. If it shuts off immediately the problem is somewhere in the amp. If it stays on there's a short and either the wires or the speakers or the speaker cabinets somewhere along that line

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good product
  

*by T***H on Reviewed in Canada on 18 June 2023*

I was planning to purchase Rockville power amp for half the price, but after doing some research and found Rockville product spec is not as it claimed. I decide to go with this amp and very satisfy with Crown by Harman product, the amp is given you a clear detail of the music as some others have reviewed, on the top of increase the power out put. I'm highly recommend, yes it's expensive for home use but I'm sure you won't disappoint it.

    No power

Purchased an open box that was supposed to be in excellent condition. Amp would not even power on. Returned for refund.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    GREAT FOR SUBS BUT CHECK THE POWER CONNECTION
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United States on 24 June 2022*

OK so many have told me I'm imagining things so I decided to show the proof.  My XLi3500 came with a 20 amp socket for the power cord.  Luckily it also came with an unusual power cord hat has the 20 amp connecter on the amp end but a regular 15 amp (standard wall socket) plug on the wall end.  I don't have  20 amp sockets in my house so I can't use my big aftermarket power cords.  Pangea makes one for this but it's a few hundred bux.The amp doesn't have feet so I used the heavy duty rubber feet for washing machines, Amazon has several to choose from and they are every bit as good as expensive 'audiophile' feet.This amp has some hiss at the tweeter on full range speakers, it get loud without strain of course but it's not a hifi amp by any means. For big subs it is in command, it puts out tons of current to my two Dayton Ultimax 18s in the theater room.  For loud movies it's too much power, I have the gains down below the 12 o'clock position and still turned my processor sub level down about 4db.  The fan is inaudible with music playing, quieter than my AC vents when they are blowing.  If you need a cost effective stereo amp go with the XLi2500 or XLS1502 / XLS2002, they all have more power than anyone will need for music.  The lightweight XLS series sounds night and day better than the XLi series with music/movies and you can put five XLS amps in a room without tripping breakers as might happen with several big XLi amps.  Some say the XLi series is a big step up when driving subs but keep in mind you can't bridge them on a 4 ohm sub.  They will of course power a pair of 4 ohm subs no problem. I had a pair of XLS2502 amps each one bridged on a single Ultimax 18 and I can't say the XLi3500 powering these two subs in stereo is night and day better, time will tell. I  am a big Crown fan but the QSC GX5 sounds better for full range music and they now have very quiet fans compared to about 8 years back.
