They look like 100w~ resistors. :D

This bank isn't for super high power stuff. It's for my early 90's amps

Each resistor is 100 watts by 8ohms (5%)

This bank will be used for

8 channel mode

-- 8 x 100 watts @ 8 ohms

4 channel mode

-- 4 x 200 watts @ 4 ohms

-- 4 x 200 watts @ 16 ohms

2 channel mode

-- 2 x 400 watts @ 2 ohms

-- 2 x 400 watts @ 8 ohms

1 channel mode

-- 1 x 800 watts @ 1 ohms

-- 1 x 800 watts @ 4 ohms

Rolex you sicken me.

Interested to see how well the plexi holds up to the heat with the resistors mounted directly on that instead of the heatsink.

It's melting point is 320 F, so it will be interesting to see how hot this gets. So your making me let one if the cats outta my bag, I planned to do theremal tests of the bank and amps with the Klein CL200 I bought. So this won't be a , ya thins thing is hot result, it will be a the bank went from xxF to xxF result

Rolex you sicken me.

You're losing the benefits of the for gate heat sink by putting a plexiglass insulator between the parts. Are you just using the heat sink for looks?

 

DB DRAG PSYCHLONE PRO 156.3 30 SECOND AVERAGE FO MAX AT 26HZ

LEGAL DASH DRIVER DOOR OPEN 158.0@30 HZ

MY BEST SO FAR, HOPEFULLY A 160 COME FEBUARY.

156.9@26hz  158.0@30hz

I made reference to this back in post #9
