Torres Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 know how to check it using a multi meter? dno if that's the best way, but that's one method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 what kind of amp is it? say it's a 1000 watt amp, you'd adjust the settings to where the output voltage reads about 31.62. because if you take the output voltage and square it, it'll give you the wattage (31.62^2 = 999.xx). kinda like when tuning the amp when installing it. so if the amp wasnt a true 1000 watt amp, it may not have that 31.62 volt output when setting it. that's they way i'd go about checking it without taking it somewhere to get it benched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCsteve Posted December 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) its an rf t20001bd its not installed in my car yet. but if that works then thats how i'll check it when it comes down to it. thanks Edited December 26, 2007 by FCsteve Quote 610EUROs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 np man. just fyi, the voltage should read 44.7214. but being a t20001 i'm sure it'll pass the test easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 75% of full volume. all settings on the cd player set to 0. use a test tone of 50-60 hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactownstang Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 i bought it off HDA and it didnt come with one, which i think is really shitty Ya, were u promised it in the auction? You bought it refurbished, the birth certs come with NEW amps. Just cause your cheap and don't buy new it's not HDA's fault. It says in theit auctions they are usually not included. You paid 575.00 bucks for a t2001, go buy it at 1100 and u will get one. It would be nice I agree, hell I imagine most would drop another 20 bucks for the certs. It's a perk of buying it new.
