You know what decided the 40hz and 1000hz test tone?

The power cube, look it up.

Its how all amps have been rated for the past i dont know 20+ years now....

I think depending on the version of it it costs $15,000 plus.

40hz is fine! I have NO problem with that frequency whatsoever.

If you have any questions relating to nutrition, lifting, or health in general, feel free to give me a PM and I will give you straight forward advice with no BS involved.

But then who decided a rising 40 hz sine wave decides the power of an amplifier?

Is there some law I'm unaware of that says that the AD-1 certified tests determines the power of an amplifier?

well you asked, so I stated the facts, as well as what has been using those 2 frequencies for over 20 years "I think sometime in the 80's was the first powercube"..

Anybody know if this affliction applies to all SQ amps, or just this particular board?

Well Im sure it would applie to the majority of them, especially since they are all using CapXon capacitors, as well as Digital Designs..... wow pathetic. bahahahaa as for how good DD amps will do who knows no one had the courage to put one on any form of amp dyno yet, just like those such powerful Brazilian amps that always go up in flames.

Sir, they use 40 hz, but do they use a certified type test? I HIGHLY doubt it.

BUT, we are going to find out. I'm going to be getting a T2500 to put on the dyno.

My bet is that its birthsheet will line up with dynamic tests and not certified tests.

Now I very well could be wrong, and we have not tested one before.

Would you like to venture a guess whether their power cube testing will line up with the certified or dynamic test on the dyno?

I still find the power cube more useful than the ad-1 or amm-1. I find knowing what the amp does at different degrees of capacitive or inductance along with resistive loads.

The only thing those have made different is that the normal person can see power output. It's still pretty hard to determine what load your getting with the amm-1 and the ad-1 is resistive.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Have you ever tested a kicker 2500.1

Yeah, he has. I'll ask for the test or ask him to post it here.
