I heard the owner of that 12k is itching to find out what it'll do, after all 6 + 6 does = 12 ya know ;)

Beginning next weekend I will be testing ALL DC amps on my AD-1. Each amp will be tested at 1 ohm, 2 ohm, and 4 ohm in all 3 modes. How do you think they will perform?

I have 30 XS 14v batteries to use for power. I will do my best to get the tests to come out as close to 14.4v as possible.

All ratings can be found here for reference. http://www.dcaudio.us/subsamps.html

Copy and paste the following and fill out with your guesses for 1 ohm output.

1.2k

Non Certified-1355

Dynamic-1456

2k

Non Certified-3621

Dynamic-3789

I am going to retest the 3.5k and 7.5k once I receive my toolmaker dual 2/0 inputs for SHCA wire.

I have a theory that I want to test and have the ability to with the dyno.

I am going to test single 1/0 input vs single 2/0 input vs dual 1/0 input vs dual 2/0 input.

What I am looking to find is what the difference in power output is and find out what the proper way to wire up each amp is to get the most power from it.

I have had people ask me to wire the amps up just using the single power and ground or dual power and ground in the case of the 5k and 7.5k. My response to that is, if you are going to spend $500-$1000-$2000+ on an amplifier, why are you going to cheap out an not buy a couple of $30-$40 sets of dual inputs and a few more feet of wire to properly feed your amp? That is like buying a lamborghini and running 87 octane through it because it is $.50 cheaper.

I would like to see this too cause I dont use dual inputs.

I have always gained on the meter when using dual inputs. Now I have the tool to test and show what causes those gains.

I am expecting the numbers on the 7.5k test to go up when I can feed it proper current. The 5k and 7.5k both use 2 power and 2 ground inputs. On my bench right now I am using dual inputs with 2awg wire. I believe that the 5k is getting the current it wants but the 7.5k still wants more than it can draw through those wires. I am hoping to see a substantial power output increase when switching to a larger wire. At the very least it will be an interesting test to see what happens.

I may also order a spool of CCA wire to test vs OFC as well.
