Maximum Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Okay I have not had much time to play with the meter but like any other shop we wanted to run it and see some amps. While only getting to test 2 amplifiers 1 is a Kenwood KAC-5206 60 RMS x 2 130 RMS Bridged. Testing on a Focal subwoofer we are only achieving 27 watts. Okay so no big deal maybe its sensitive to smaller power readings. Next amplifier up is a MMatts M600.1 USA made amplifier 1 Ohm version. Tested out at 217 Watts? This was the highest we obtained and that was at 43 Hertz. Something has to give or any advice. The Kenwood was tested on a display the MMatts was tested in a vehicle. Any help or responses would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityFats13 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) did you do a sweep.... and what was the power factor at on these tests... you want to find the reading that has the highest power factor... if the power factor is at 20% it does not matter if its a dc 5K its not going to tell you anything close to 5K... ect... cabin gain and impediance rise play a huge factor Edited January 12, 2016 by MotorCityFats13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROLEXrifleman Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 It's just you. Keep playing with the meter and test tones. Also, if you really want to get serious buy some brake resistors Quote Rolex you sicken me. Just let me finish my pie ~ Juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakin Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Are you sure you didn't fuck up your wiring? Quote Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 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.

audiofanaticz Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 impedance rise is a hell of an upset... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutkeveld Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 cabin gain and impediance rise play a huge factor Uh what? Why would cabin gain play any role in amplifier output? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 It's acoustics. If it is a thing it affects any other thing.
