  1. like I said IN A POWER LIMITED CLASS... where clamping is used.... The amps output at 1 ohm means nothing....what matters is making the 2000 or 4000 watts after rise. what the rise is really doesn't matter either as far as power is concerned, just that you make the 2000 or 4000 watts. Tony, do you have a comparison to a meter like the Extech I had asked about? could make a video of clamping an amp with an extech wattage clamp and the amp dyno at the same time for comparison. I have no idea the results, that's why I would like to see something like that.
  2. a competitor in a power limited class doesn't care what power the amp makes @ 2 or 4 or 8 ohms. all that matters is how much power they make in the car at x impedance ( after rise). unfortunately the amp dyno is not capable of that, so clamping will remain the standard in that scenario. How does the dyno compare to a meter like the extech wattage meter? ( I have no idea, that's why I ask) That seems to be what is used by a lot of competitors as well the meter most db drag judges seem to use
  3. If you cant have them charged up to verify they are ok, then walk.
  4. I know this is an old thread but just wondering if there was anymore insight on these alt's. I see they only have a 6 month warrenty. Will they hold up as good as a dc power, ohio or iragi level alt. ?
  5. I run cylinders on the front of my t-bird and I have no problem with the ride. with a heavy car the ride is decent. The main disadvantages to cylinders is the shorter life than a bag and the higher pressure needed to lift.
  6. I panel bonded mine about 8 years ago and they still look like they did the day it was done..... the car does'nt get alot of miles put on though and it is stored in a heated garage for the winter....
  7. that is SICK. and I thought my car looked like it was gonna die bass racing the 149.9 class, lol. What frequency is that song?.
  8. according to WinISD 8 ft^3 with a port 4" x 25" x 21.5" deep the tuning will be 33.57 Hz
  9. I know its an old post..... but look at the canadian car audio forum..... that is about the best spot... although shows closer than hamilton or mississauga are rare. If you are just looking for term lab time... I have access to one in st thomas.
  10. if you like flo rida his new album R.O.O.T.S. has alot of songs that bang.
  11. if the amp draws 400 watts, that is only about 3.3333 amps at 120 volts. more home circuts are designed to handle 15 amps of current ( if it is wired with 14 ga wire as most are) The easiest / proper way ( other than updating the wiring) to fix the non grounded outlet problem is to install a GFCI outlet in place of the other outlet. keep in mind if the wiring is aluminum you may need a different type of outlet and be very carefull to not nick the wiring when replacing it. edit: on second thought if you do not have much electrical experience you should leave the work to an electrician. I would hate to see you get fried or start a fire. I am not an electrician, I just have a fair bit of electrical experience. I am not from the U.S. so I have no idea about the electrical codes in your area either.
