[DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs]

Actually the amount of current that it sucked seems really high. Why 400a? Isn't it supposed to be fused for 300a?

The amperage readings are not 100% accurate. The clamp is set on peak hold. So it reads the entire time the test is being run. The Dyno stops reading at clipping. The amp may still be putting out power into clipping and the clamp still reading current being drawn, but the dyno has stopped reading power at the point the clipping occurs.

The only way to get a 100% accurate reading would to have a dcA clamp built into the dyno pulling that reading at the same exact time as it is pulling the rest of its readings. I would be willing to send my dyno back to D'Amore to be modded if something like this were ever able to be done.

Wonder If it pulls the same or less on a dynamic run? The pure sine wave is definitely a lot of work for it.

Clamp doesnt read fast enough to keep up with the sample rate of dynamic testing.

Well then take a set of 1/0 to 4 gauge and put them on and try. see what that does.

Sold my last set that I had in stock. I am waiting for my next batch to be delivered.

Nice, only problem is that Sky High 1/0 is bigger than 1/0.

Which is a good thing.

I was using Sky High 1/0 for these tests.

Also in my first test, I was using all 14 batteries. With a solid electrical setup behind it, there was only a 2w difference in the bare copper being stuffed into the amp vs the 1/0 input. When I cut the bank in half to simulate a lesser, more realistic charging system that would be in a vehicle with a 3500w amp, that is when I got these results.

That one wasn't directed at you. I have had a lot of people question and out right tell me that they are useless because of "poor contact area". That was directed at them.

[DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs]

Ah, you need the 4/0 to 1/0

[DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs]

The 1/0 to 4ga may be different if used on a 1/0 input since the 4ga staub will have less contact area than the 1/0 to 1/0 does.

[DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs]

The single 1/0 will fit.

New video for you guys

[DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs]

Yes I took the first video down. I am uploading new footage to my computer now. MUCH more in depth testing.

[DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs]

I am redoing my video now.

3 tests

1- Bare copper wire

2- 1/0 amp input

3- DUal 1/0 amp input

[DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs]

Hmm you give me an idea and I can get it all in 1 video.

[DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs]

2w. I think I have a video on my phone, I will look and see. 2w is an insignificant difference to me though.

I just re ran this test again. MUCH different result with a lesser battery bank.

[DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs]

Imo you should have did the single run WITHOUT the block.

Obviously double the wire isnt in question. Double the wire is obviously better. The question imo is the reduced CONTACT AREA of using the distro block.

A single bare ended wire input into a standard amp terminal will have thousands of contact points to deliver the power.

By using a distro you now only have 2 points of contact going into the amp. Set screw against top of the block. Block against bottom of amp input..

So imo the test should be two fold.

Does a single run without the block differ than a single run with the block?

And what is the difference between normal single run and dual using the block.

No one buys buys those blocks just to continue running one wire... so really that test was silly.

You normally go from one single run to tm block dual runs.. which was not shown.

Redo plz.

Edit: grammar etc.

I did the test with bare wire vs the input and there was a 2w difference. If that is significant enough for you to want to see, sorry, I dont feel like testing it. I will do the same test jsut to disprove the people that think using an input vs not using 1 makes a difference.

[DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs]

I dont feel like unhooking half of these batteries right now, but I suspect that with a lesser battery supply, the difference may be greater.

[DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs]

Remember this is just a bench test under ideal conditions with very good electrical, In vehicle may be completely different with a sub par electrical system.

[DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs]

I just finished testing a 3.5k with the purpose of seeing the difference if any in using a single bare copper shoved into the amp vs 1/0 amp input and Dual 1/0 inputs.

I will be doing in vehicle SPL testing to see if there is a difference with these in an SPL test later.

Everest 5k vs Planet Audio "5000"

[AD-1, clipping, and un cert mode]

To the best of my understanding it takes it to the point of clipping and not into clipping.

[Soldering new 8ga onto tinsel leads]

good luck getting the tinsel leads to abdorb solder.....we dont solder them here we use copper crimp caps from home depot........

Do you solder anything "there"? or just mate together?

Leads are soldered to coil leads and then soldered to the push terminals tabs. Only soldering on the subs.

Do you have max dimensions for the battery?

Send me a message and I will see what we have available to fit your application.

[DC XL12 Mounting Depth?]

2-3" should do the trick. as long as it has room for the gap venting to work, you are good.

[Check out the package deals at droppinhzcaraudio.com!!!]

We have very little room to work with on those products and cant afford to give away product. If you wanted, I could throw in a free set of 1/0 to 4ga reducers.
