Why use 1/0 to 1/0 AMp Inputs?


Recommended Posts

The dyno shows more power with the input adapter. End of story, I don't see why it is up for debate. You can not measure the resistance difference without specialized equipment, the difference is likely less than 1 milliohm. But 0.001 ohms at 500 Amps, for example, is 250 Watts! Every milliohm counts.

All I wanted was an educated answer.

Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out.

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

Because the dyno said so. Tony is a hell of a lot smarter than me and probably anyone posting in this thread. If it's good enough for him, that is all the explanation that I need.

If you don't question the works of others you never learn. Not too long ago the "3/4 turn was industry accepted. So was clampping amps. Hell even the big 3 was the god of doing it right till proven wrong. Term lab is the measurement standard...... or is it? If adding this connector to power wire is the next great thing, then so be it. Hell what are your power gains for adding a connector, to a connector? If one is good, 2 must be better right?

If the point of them was to gain power, then your last statement might be valid.

BUT the point to them and my selling point to to make for a cleaner and easier connection.

The dyno test was solely to prove that they did not hinder the performance of the amp. That was proven by the dyno.

Beyond this, I have no need nor obligation to provide any other proof or testing. My point has been conclusively proven by the dyno on this aspect. Any gains made in power are just a bonus since the point of these is to make for a cleaner and easier connection.

Theres to much back and forth going on about this. Ok if people are not happy with his testing you know what ive been told.. if you want something done right do it yourself. So how about this everyone that thinks the testing is bad go out buy all that equipment and test it just for a little 1/0 gauge connector. Its silly he is even testing it in the first place. Its made for looks and easier installs. Even if it possibly did have a tiny bit more resistance, it would not show up on a meter and your ears damn well would not hear any difference.

Ya know what ill end up buying 1/0 gauge 4 and 8 for my system. You know why? cause its a hell of a lot cleaner and better looking than bare wire jammed into the amp.

And than you can take 5 min to put a little hole into the connector so the screw can sit into the metal so the connector does not loosen from the amp.

Its a connector...for real now
