fuck that, 9.5k out of an amp that is rated 5k that is crazy, tanks got nothing on dc audio

Wow am I glad I chose to go with 2 - 5.0's instead of one 12K. Or even one 10K.


Anyway you can test two 5.0's strapped? (I could drive mine down to you, and pick up that motor while I'm there?)

Told ya bro.

Still wanna trade? ;)

And strapping won't do anything.

Except make wiring/setting easier.

Nice test but where are the videos and when are you going to be testing the 9.0?

In my opinion you can skip the 2 and 4 ohm tests. (on amps that are 1 ohm stable) If anyone is running an amp as expensive as these are, and aren't running them at 1 ohm, well that's just silly. Who would run a 12k at 4 ohms?

Anyway, thanks for doing this. What a great thing to do for the SMD community. Nobody likes paying for 1000 and getting 500. CEA 2006 compliance might just have to change to SMD 2013 compliance!!

You are very mistaken in that thought. Just because you are wired to 1 ohm nominal at the amp doesnt mean you are actually seeing 1 ohm once signal is applied to the subs. Do some research and find out about impedance rise and you will understand what I am talking about better.

I know about box rise, which is unavoidable. But nobody buys an amp knowing their box will rise to "X" ohms and tries to get "X" watts at that impedance. People buy based on the power rating of their subs and want to assure that if they have 4 subs with 1250 rms handling each wired into a 1 ohm load that their 5k amp will deliver at least 5k at 1 ohm.

Maybe I'm wrong and other people want to know the 2 and 4 ohm performance. I'd want to know 2 ohm on Rockford amps where 2 ohms is the lowest stable impedance and where the amp makes it's rated power. But on a 1 ohm stable amp I couldn't care less what the 2 and 4 ohm performance is. I would like to know if it handles .8 and .67 without going into protect and what power it makes at those impedances.

Yes the amps will see higher impedances, but that's irrelevant to me. But that's just me. If you want to do all the tests and share all the numbers that is way cool, I'm glad you are doing it. I just figured 1 ohm and below is what most people want to see. And I didn't mean "a 12k never runs at 4 ohms". I meant, "nobody wires a 12k to a 4 ohm load".

Anyway, thanks again for doing this. I'd love to see my crossfire cfa-1000d on the ad-1. I've burped it at .25ohms on 4 kicker 12L7's!

Will test the 9k when it gets here.

I am going to re run the 5k later tonight.

I am not taking video yet until I get all of the amps here and get everything setup. Right now I am testing more for my information and for you guys to see some results. There are not many dynos out there right now and the people(shops) that do have them are using them in the shop everyday and not posting or showing anything online. I want to share my results with everyone, not just for me to see.

Just retested a 3.5k using single power and ground inputs with SHCA 2/0 wire. Also tested a pair of 3.5ks strapped. I have pictures of most of the reading that I will upload when I have more time.
