USMCfosho Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 How can you factor in rise? You don't have it installed yet, its also dynamic and changes with frequency. I can't actually factor it in as of right now. I worded that badly. When I build the box, I'm assuming there will be box rise. Probably a bad idea... ***DC Rebuild Coming Soon*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Not a bad idea, lol. I would just hate for someone to spend good money on great equipment, and then use rise to save himself. I don't recommend using rise as a factor in daily applications, and definitely not to save your equipment, lol. That's just me. You may have rise, who knows until you test. But at one frequency, you jump to 13ohms...and the next...back down to a power output that might not be safe. I've overpowered the hell out of some of my equipment, and like I said, I'd rather have the reliability for long term use Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

It would be stupid of me to put so much money into my system to rely on something like that. Long term use is awesome as well im running right around 3kw clamped per lvl 5, and i have no issues what so ever so 1 3.5k will be great per sub... unless you are getting 2 subs...and running it on 1 Just 1 sub I guess I'm looking at the Lv5 15 ***DC Rebuild Coming Soon*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
