Slinky Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 This thing is truly badass. It makes me want to sit there and hook up every amp ever made and see what actual power they put out. Steve, you outta test some rockford amps next. I have my birthsheets but it would be cool to see how the numbers compare. 1 Quote DD M4 Rockford Fosgate P500-4 SoundQubed HDC415 w carbon fiber cap 2 Rockford Fosagate T1675-S XS Power D3400 Under Hood XS Power D5100 in rear Michael Singer 200A Alt Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/153901-2012-veloster-update-842013-wall-build-4-15s/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangaranga Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Really don't wanna be that guy, but since clamping was proven to be not so consistent, maybe an audiopoop/vvme amp could be tested as an end all answer to actual output.

Miguels Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 test cheap amps like boss and many to prove people how weak they are Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayhuh? Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Many props to that amp. 8ga wire under 14v @ .5 ohm and it didn't pop! Can't wait to see the power wire tests. That is what intrigues me the most. People read the wire does 300a and think I only need one run or two, but they don't put into consideration the loss over foot after foot of wire (15' run won't be 300a). Most of us lose wattage solely from under powering the 'power' to the amp(s). Quote Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my birthsheets but it would be cool to see how the numbers compare.i tested the punch 1000.1 today....it did good, but i am holding off on the vids until i can get a nice little battery bank on my test bench. After a few runs, the numbers start coming down....after all, i only have one D1400 on the cart at the moment LOL. I also tested the kenwood deck on the test bench, it is rated @ 22w RMS per channel, 50w peak. I will post results on that soon. 1 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel! Over 1,000,000 subscribers strong!

I am going to set up a sick ass test bench for all this stuff and have all sorts of options available on it. I will be doing experiments on all sorts of scenario's.

I don't think people realize on how big of a learning curve this could be for the business itself. I mean, people have ran tests, but this could put a lot of great info out there for people to use. BTW, still haven't gotten the bar apart to install the new plexi and decals. Wifey is excited to see it done Quote Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
