  1. Profundus the results are actual clamped results Ray posted. It is what is is. It was clamped for the pair therefore if you were to double the number of amps it would result in 2000 amps of draw. But as you know it's all a balancing act depending upon install electrical base and box rise. Knowing Ray it was probably clipped a little definitely not a full clip.

  2. what are the top 3 most important to you when building or designing a system?

    mine are

    1. electrical (alts batts wire need power to make power!)

    2. Box (after you have the power you need to be able to do something with it)

    3. Equpiment (equpiment is 3rd cause with the right electrical and box even cheap stuff can get really loud)

    now my top 3 changed a few times from being a noob till now and its been this way for years i don't think it will change ether

    what do you guys think Discuss......

    Now I'm still learning so this may sound like a dumb question but in this list, how do you know what your power requirements are needing to be if you don't have your equipment set already? Have you already designed the system and you are now just tackling the electrical first?

    Number uno if your going to scrimp on a system NEVER NEVER do it on electrical! If you think you have enough try and double it. Even with smaller systems the minimum electrical you should plan on is a HO alt 200 amps or better and 1-2 batteries.

  3. Rusty, Thor or any other Seasoned competitor who runs in excess of 10k help me spend some money wisely. I'm trying to find a nice clamp meter which will handle the output range of at least a strapped pair of 5k amps. Without breaking the Bank. At times like these I wish I would have gotten along better with my Dad so he could have taught me some electrical knowledge but we had hard times working together.

  4. You might want to consider a DC 5k or similar. From what I've heard, having multiple amps is less efficient and plus you would have to worry about the stability of multiple amps at an unusual resistance. So if you put a 1.34ohm load on a DC 5k, I would think you get around 600-650 watts RMS per sub. If you got the 7.5k, you should get around 900-950 watts RMS per sub. That doesn't take into account impedance rise, stable voltage, etc. although you did mention your electrical can hold 6k easily.

    Please correct me if i'm wrong on any of this. Thanks!

    Wrong but the user learning curve goes way up using multiple amps! The benefits are the box rise is split between the amps there for each amp is more efficient.

  5. Outshines the IQ.

    From Websters Dictionary:

    ig·no·rant

       [ig-ner-uhthinsp.pngnt] dictionary_questionbutton_default.gif Show IPA adjective 1. lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man. 2. lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics. 3. uninformed; unaware. 4. due to or showing lack of knowledge or training: an ignorant statement.

    I'll stand by my statement. And thanks for the complement. I think number 2 fits appropriately. Obviously your not stupid you just lack knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact. What gets me is when you are presented with the knowledge or fact you chose to rely on you vast wisdom and question the validity of champions!
