This was my second to last run. So, 9 hours in. Got there at 9am.. demo'd.. played, demo'd (and Kenny took the seat.. and hes not nice)

I did every comp there. Burp, sealed, Psycolone, open, open here, meter there)

Anyone wanna listen.. and tell me what happened at around 15 sec in??

anyone?

Tell me... :)

You get a RF amp to thermal,..lol...

i think i saw 201 on the caps after this run......

edit - and.. at idle.. .. for fun :)

double edit - song is at 30hz ;)

Kyle be like... Screw you thermal recommendations, I run FI...

still waiting to burn my leads up ?? :shrug:

and i have some of the FIRST sp4's........ :shrug:

We all know that was just clipped to piss guys who run at .25 ohms instead of 1ohm, meaning more AC voltage through their leads, plus playing some DJ SNT clipped to piss.

FI is beast.

I was told around 500deg on mine....

"unwind or failiure will occure give or take a few deg's at 500"

fuck if they dont seem to wanna get there at times.. lol

But see, that's coil temp. Same location I've always been told too. How that translates to dustcap temperature or mag temp is the key though, since that's all we have to measure (except those few that have pretty exposed coils).

No.. your totally correct.

Its like how hot your amp heat sinks get.. fuck.. add to that shit on the board FOOOOO SHOOOOWWW.....

Dammit Kyle, I can never tell if you're making fun of people or being serious lol.

All I'm saying is most of us really have no way of measuring coil temp, so it's an almost worthless number.

"Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

had my dustcap up in the high 150, low 160 range a few times...without smoke.

No idea how hot it was both times it went poof. But my box design really fucking sucked for the positioning of the woofer....didn't cool well at all.

Moral of the story is don't act stupid and you won't have a problem :)

(acting stupid aka playing uber low and clipped to tits songs just to show off)

3 hours of demoing...... then competing, then more demoing in 111 degree's. Hell my RF 4 channel shut off. Thats how hot.

I pulled 190 LASER THERMAL read on my cap.

(i have a laser reader, that i use to use for my alts ..lol)

I played for about 2 hours more........

(ill admit i was kinda spoked..)

EDIT- still.. not burnt leads.. none of that "shit"......... ;)

Still running the same drivers i bought 2 years ago. ;)

Shit. It's been that long?
