Ok belive it our not say its safe or not but today hear in saint louis i have hooked up a four pill 2290 and am useing it as a driver for a 4 pill 2879 and it is working great not even gettin hot i have posted this video of me doing it on utube under payeurtom9 its the newest video ive only made 2 so it wont be hard to find. And i am driveing it with 300 peek watts and the audio is ungodley and i talked 65 miles away with a carrier of 6.

That seems like a lot of watts to be dumping into a high drive anyways. i'm surprised your audio doesn't sound all chewed up and nasty. i'm sure you got to be splattering up and down a bunch of freq's though. I see smoke.. lotsa smoke! :)

You need to be careful with the splatter and bad harmonics. You could be tearing up govt or commercial communications and have no idea you are. I would caution you strongly on the operation of this set up. I love some cb rambo activity, but you may be attracting some unwanted attention. TRUST ME ON THIS!!

Otherwise good luck and keep a fire suppression device handy. As others have predicted, I see magic smoke on your horizon. :r&r:

Even if it is a "high drive", a 4 pill is too much drive, just my 2 cents....

I remember years ago when I thought I'd try a HD 4-pill with my RCI-2995, even though I turned my RF Power out down on the radio... the 4 pill didn't last long....
