The XLi 800 supports bridged mono operation, combining both channels for a single higher-power output. In bridged mono mode, the amplifier delivers approximately 600W into 8Ω — ideal for driving a single subwoofer or full-range cabinet requiring more power.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat types of speakers can the XLi 800 drive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe XLi 800 is suitable for most passive loudspeakers rated between 4Ω and 16Ω. It can drive satellite speakers, full-range PA cabinets, and subwoofers in smaller system configurations. Always match the speaker's power rating to the amplifier's output to avoid damage.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the XLi 800 include built-in DSP or crossover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo. The XLi 800 is a straightforward power amplifier without onboard DSP. For systems requiring active crossover or DSP processing, an external processor such as a Crown DriveRack or similar device should be used upstream of the amplifier.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the XLi 800 and the XLi 1500?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe XLi 1500 delivers 450W per channel versus 300W for the XLi 800, making it the better choice for medium-sized systems or applications requiring more headroom.
