Questions about this item
How do I connect the PXE-C80-88 to my head unit and speakers?
Use the 8-channel amplifier inputs for your head unit outputs, then run speaker wire from the eight output channels to the R2-S69 pair and any other speakers. The step often missed is running the PC or iPhone app calibration after wiring to set delays and EQ for each channel.
What maintenance will the R2-S69 speakers need over time?
The glass-fibre reinforced cones are maintenance-free; just keep the grilles clear of debris and check the terminal screws annually for corrosion. If a voice coil ever fails, the speaker is replaced as a unit — there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
At what point does the amplifier hit its thermal limit during extended loud playback?
The 8-channel amp is rated for 100 watts RMS per channel; sustained output at that level will trigger thermal protection first, muting the output until the heatsink cools. Peak bursts up to 300 watts are handled briefly, but continuous high RMS demand reaches the thermal ceiling before clipping.
