  1. because the resistance in the DMM leads is .3
  2. lol dont be sorry. they aren't ever really stupid questions. you're just new. just thought it was funny.
  3. we need a dedicated Q&A thread for you, hifonics. you have a new thread damn near every day.
  4. yep, bullz audio has some shitty wire.i just bought some from a shop cause i was in a pinch. the red 8awg was half the copper as the black 8awg luckily i bought enough black that i didnt need the red. didnt notice the difference til i got home.
  5. haha is that magic smoke coming out the back of the sub?
  6. i voted no, just not interested myself. the other products do just fine for me.
  7. win if you pick up the girl, the friend will understand or be pissed that you just grabbed the girl he was talking to. then the girl will be pissed you left the woman going into labor.
  8. for .89 i would be filling plastic bags or ANYTHING i could find.
  9. Or 2 strapped? then he means .5ohm strapped. and that means .25 each.
  10. he said "3k at 2ohm" i was more going off of that. maybe he meant a different amp, not sure.
  11. Why, its kind of obvious I set gains like a champ. Plus I havent had these up too loud, I was patiently waiting for the smd device.. until i just got bored what is that thing supposed to do that you cant do with a DMM or o-scope?
  12. heat is the #1 killer of amps. well maybe #2 is you add user error lol. get them fans in there
  13. why wouldnt you recomend running at .5 ohm? if he had a 1ohm stable amp, and good power supply, run it at 2ohm daily, and 0.5 for burps in competition. as long as the amp is getting enough power it will be fine. after box rise etc it will be geting more than 0.5 any way. my amps run daily at 0.7 and are fine. not saying you are wrong/arguing with you, just asking a question i can usually tell by the question, the persons experience level and i give an answer based on that. going to half ohm means seriously pushing the limits of your equipment and you need to be ok with blowing something up. I dont think the OP is at that stage. so while battling imp rise with a low nominal load is the correct answer for some people (i was doing it myself) its not the answer for everyone. aahhhh ok cool. was just wondering is all altho im not ok with blowing anything up i still run under impedence, but keep an eger eye on volts and how hot stuff gets its not just the amp in question here. its a 4000w amp wired to .5ohm on an XL. box too big, subs gone. clip a little, subs gone. play too low, subs gone. when i ran .5 or even .25, i put my amps in fan cooled chambers. lower nominal to battle rise, fans to battle all the extra heat. its amazing how much a little airflow can help.

  15. the two sets you picked out, the coaxial has a cheaper, i believe smaller, metal tweeter. plus no crossovers. the mid looks to be the same though. i always say this but, get the ID CTX comps while you still can. i dont think anything shakes a stick at it for the price. nothing i have heard yet at least.
  16. ya, but dont be sneaky about it. "dont touch it" rite in front of them lol.
  17. some songs do have clipping in them, yes. some are recorded that way and there is no version of that song you can get without clipping. its best to only REALLY hammer on songs you know. of course anything decaf has made will be safe.
  18. the sub can take 3k as long as you dont clip at all. i dont recommend you running at .5ohm.
  19. ^^ Only if you share depends are you 18 yet? 18? what country do you live in? its 21 lol.
  20. the kinetik 2400 is the second biggest I believe. It's a pretty common size. I dont remember what the model number is for the other brand. you could look that up easy enough.
