Nikitaaa Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Awesome. I never doubted that sundown for a second. Question, though. I'm assuming the impedance selected is one of a reactive nature? When you chose .5 ohm, was it stressing a half ohm reactive load on the amp? If so, way to go sundown. That's a stout little guy. Thanks Steve, awesome product.

TonyD'Amore Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) Wow the SMD volt meter is crazy... You could see it dipping to 13.1 even when the dyno couldn't. This is really a wild machine In fairness to the dyno, it updates the "minimum voltage" it saw WHILE the new maximum power number was found. In other words if the amp being dyno'd hits clipping the power number will stop increasing and thus the battery voltage number will lock in at that power number. Even if the voltage continues to drop. If the amp isn't making any more power, the dyno quits updating the power and voltage numbers. But with all that being said, yes the VM-1 is insanely fast!

Thanks Steve, awesome product. Not a reactive load, purely resistive. Which is the most difficult load in terms of delivering power. Reactive loads whether inductive or capacitive can be difficult for an amplifier to drive in terms of stability. These are tests that every manufacture should do during the design phase of an amplifier. Once the amplifier's design is set, these things are seldom an issue, and if they were an issue there is nothing a consumer would be able to do about it. Purely resistive loads, or 0 phase loads, tax the power delivery of the amplifier the most. Easy test to do at home, measure amplifier input current while burping some subs at a frequency that is produces a 4 ohm reactive load. Do the same thing on the amp dyno at 4 ohms, or another purely resistive load. You will see the input current to the amplifier at its maximum during the resistive load test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
