DC Audio 3.5k Dyno Testing using Single and Dual Inputs


Recommended Posts

That was cool to watch. I have a set of toolmaker 1/0 to 4 reducers I was going to use on my amp but then found out that 1/0 wire fits. I guess I will break them out and install them on the end of my power and ground.

Thanks for the vid.

awesome video cody. I noticed about a .4 ish voltage gain with my dual inputs using way less sophisticated equipment.. But just tossing that in there to say that i did see and hear an improvement.

Well that was an informative test. For the record I never said dual inputs were crap, but always wondered about the contact area. And now we have some definitive data.. which is nice.

Its odd that the 1 to 1 connectors are quite a bit better. Alot more than 2w difference. In fact its more power less drop all with less current draw as well which mean higher efficiency. . Which is a big deal.

With some practice you can easilly get bare wire to look perfect, but it is annoying. For my money for looks oalone its not worth it, but for the results you recorded it absolutely is.

Ive been on the fringe of ordering a set of these for the longest time, but didnt wanna waste my money. I saw this thread and got excited to finally know the truth..

Thanks for the info.
