It gets stinky fast. But not a lot of guys have this sub on a 5k so that's why. I am giving it 2800 - 3000 watts after impedance rise. And it's only my 2nd system but I didn't do the work myself if that's what you mean. Several people worked on it. I am sorry if the question is stupid, but the number you got from the clamping is not rather VA,rather than Watts? I am thinking about that, cause you multiplied the two numbers together if I undersatand it correctly. And also beacuse you measured it on the sub, or am I wrong?

You may be right, but that's how clamp testing is done. Here's a link about clamp testing on DD's website where they say that RMS power is volts x amperes.

No clipping. The amp has a clip light on the gain knob. The SP4 just likes to get hot. I've seen it happen in videos of other people's systems. I can provide links if you want.

alex912005 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Got my doors back from the place that did the flocking the 2nd time (first time it cracked in 2 weeks). Didn't turn out the way I hoped, they kinda made a mess of them, but it is what it is I guess. Before (May 2016) Now My Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex912005 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Gotta change some parts of the exhaust. The old one is rusted and has a hole. Parts are Bosal 281-227 and 105-109 plus all the screws and rubber mounts. These are OEM parts, not loud performance exhaust parts.

alex912005 Posted December 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hi guys, long time no see. The Deaf Bonce subs are still going strong. Here are some vids of them in action. Haven't changed anything in a while, though I'm thinking of investing in some Yinlong LTO cells to replace my AGMs. My Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
