chronic2001 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Kinda surprising since most of the high end old school amps seemed underrated to me. Like the lanzar optidrive 50c and optidrive 500 if I remember correctly.

ROLEXrifleman Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 On the PPI I wasn't surprised to see it just a hair under the mark. I was surprised though at the fact that the channels were .7 volts apart. Rolex you sicken me. Just let me finish my pie ~ Juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPINE408 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 After 15 years used the caps inside can get weak and go bad they are basicaly 15 year old batts. For how clean the ppi is and it to be close to rated still good to me ill buy it off you for 60 bucks if you don't want it Have you ever had your woofers blown?

Ray Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Cap replacement. Also, it is also an unregulated power supply. You give it 14.5v during the test? 2008 California state record holder 157.2 Bassrace2009 California state record holder 157.0 BassraceRollin 50's 158.7db2009 King of Cali Bassrace2009 USACi score 160.5 @ 42hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROLEXrifleman Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Negative, It's a regulated power supply! I never knew caps could gradually go bad I thought they were either functional or dead. Thanks for that info. Rolex you sicken me.

ROLEXrifleman Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I will, I'll make time. (ya right, who has all the time to do everything they want) Was it a noticable gain with voltage incerease? On my bench it was getting 13.8 Volts with no load. I would think it would gain some more power under load as well though the current draw would proportional to teh load. Either way for 15 years and $60 who's going to argue? I have another 300 and a 1200 that I may swap into teh car just to see what the PPi setup can do. 75x4 and 1200x1, might be a good combo Rolex you sicken me.
