  16. Skar Audio SK-4500.1D Amplifier Dyno (Power) Test Results -- 8,600+ WATTS!!!

    Damn how did I miss that 15.42 Volts

    You also know, that the .5 load test, is reactive right? .Not nominal....

    Would you wire to like .2 ?

    I thought it was nominal not reactive. Like nominal would mean that it is always .5 and a reactive load would change.

    Could be wrong though.

    No, the Dyno tests using purely resistive loads. It is NOT subject to any type of rise. If a test is done at 1 ohm, then that is what the amp is seeing for the entire duration of that test.

    Now that being said, the dynamic test is much easier on the amp and electrical than the certified or uncertified tests. I would be very surprised if that amp stayed on for a .5ohm certified test.

    And for the fact that he simply states they will not warranty the amp at .5 ohm. I don't get why a company would test at .5 ohm load and then not warranty if they are going to brag about results? Still great numbers and loved my 4500s.

    We did the test because customers requested it, and just because we cannot warranty them at that load does not mean a lot of our competitors don't run it at that load without issues =) They are on an uncharged bank of (16v) batteries (4 Batteries), so of course the dynamic runs are short and not as much of a drain on the batteries as the cert and uncert tests, but nonetheless it gets the point across that this is a very strong amplifier. The Certified and Uncertified Tests are the most accurate tests to go by if you are looking for real power at 1 ohm.

    I get that part, but to advertise it as such...I mean the intro to this thread says Dyno results 8600 watts. I'd just hate to see someone buy it and ruin it and it not be warrantied for something you advertised saying hey looky here. You know I love the amps. I had two, until I sold the car. Would still have them if I had something to put them in. At least put a disclaimer in the first post lol. People these days are so huge in to running a lower (most of the time unneeded) impedance and then when the thing pops...oops sorry.

    And no one is hating (not me at least I still run Skar lol). It's seeing an amp posted up doing something like this with little info to go on that throws the red flag. Can the amp do these numbers? Sure, but how were these numbers attained?

    And Sactown916...Efficiency @ 4 Ohm : 85%<

    It is listed ;)
