Brent Anderson Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 might be the model of a cheap clamp my guess is why its reading this? idk smd stuff is sweet stuff but somthings don't look right for the clamp my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicks Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 so.... clamp testing is no good? highly think that's not true. bin there for years and smd stuff not made to long ago not saying smd is crap but highly doubt in my head that people that do this for a job to check there electricity and all around industrial areas going to say its not going to read you the right rms coming from one thing... just saying for people who don't use it for car audio I highly would think there readings are wrong. Soooooooo you're saying that a lead designer from Rockford Fosgate doesn't know how to measure the output from an amplifier correctly....? I would suggest some research before you make accusations... 6 Quote This post sent with 100% recycled electrons. 2004 BMW M3Mechman 280A 2 - XS Power XP30001 - XS Power D375 500F of Maxwell SuperCaps (soon to be 1000F) iPadMini2Dash mounted O-scopeAudison bitOne (Remote DRC MP) Highs Amp - PPI Art A404 Hertz HSK130 (HSK165 waiting...)

TonyD'Amore Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 The first 5 minutes of Video 5 on this page describe why a DMM and clamp become inaccurate if the signal clips at all, even if they are "True RMS" meters. What is RMS? Find out here http://www.damoreengineering.com/freeeducation.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Anderson Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 wicks never said that just pointing out that the clamp test looks to be way off for a nice set up he has. my guess is the clamp was getting some interference with the other ones to get a bigger score some how is how im looking at this.

Herokight Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 You just saw it tested, and you still don't believe it? It's not a magic show, man. What you see is what you get. Seriously gonna invest in some SMD tools before i get back into audio. After all, it's hard to do a job right without the right tools. 1 Quote Lane AKA HeroKight '96 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4x4 R.I.P.

alaskanzx5 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) so different amps/setups will have different % of difference between the dyno and clamp method right? or at least I would think it wouldn't always be a difference of 34.5%. just asking that so people don't see the vid and say o well if its only a difference of 34.5% then I can clamp and subtract the % difference to get the true rms. I could see that happening. great video once again though. glad you posted this meade, I didn't see the other thread so works for me. remember everyone, haters will keep on hating. some people are most likely seeing these vids about how clamping doesn't work because of its inaccurate results from the lack of actually understanding what they are doing imo are just upset because what they thought their setup was putting out isn't what the true rms output is. people don't like being proven wrong or told that the excepted way to do something is inaccurate and a thing of the past. I say let the haters hate while the rest of us thrive off of their hate to achieve better. I know when someone tells me I can do something I do it just to prove them wrong.

TaylorFade Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Please take this viedo down. It's extremely misleading. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanzx5 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) ^^ please explain how its misleading if you are so smart. they come in here and post videos with facts supported by science and math while everyone else comes in here saying well clamping is how everyone does it so it must be true. that's like saying everything you read online is true or the well my brothers friends sisters boyfriend said this and so it must be true. sorry but facts are facts while all that other stuff has no supporting science or math behind it.
