Best we could get with two amps and a charge all night long on the batteries.

Tried four amps:

* Three amps back here, one under the other on the rack.

* Wire mess of epic proportions

We did NOT gain from four amps. The amps were at double the impedance of before and I know my battery bank is not enough for all four... BUT I think the sub just completely ran out of excursion, it is MOVING. We did not damage the sub at all with four full volume burps on four amps, though :)

Did some power clamping today with my new True Power (kW) meter:

+1 sub control = 151.3 dB / 2750 watts

+5 sub control = 153.9 dB / 7360 watts

+7 sub control = 154.1 dB / 8900 watts

+9 sub control = 154.3 dB / 9180 watts

These are not peak - these are actual True Power figures. Have to hold it for ~5 seconds to get a reading on the meter too.

I was just messing around with my new toy and didn't take it up to my highest score - but you get the idea smile.gif

Total power between the two amps, by the way.

Rise to 0.87 ohms per amp.

do you have any info on when this sub could possibly be released or anything. im gonna go with sundown subs and amp and this sub is just what im looking for. and to make it even better its a sundown =]

And far as the best connection ever.......

get a huge fucking battery, cut the top off, drop an alt in there and then pour all that into your big amplifier. or just smelt them all together.
