efficiency goes down as ohm load does

4ohms vs 1 ohm could be a 20% loss in efficiency with a great amp

Well power efficiency anyway right? It will pull more current but if you have enough electrical power to back it up there is a large amount of power to be had... one could rule the world with enough power..... eh?

To be honest, we don't even know if they used True RMS DMMs. So we could be looking at peak output voltage. The power output seems too high... let me crunch the numbers...

2526 @ 4.2 ohms = 1263 @ 2.1 ohms per amp.

P=V^2/Z

2652 = V^2

V=51

51v @ output implies that with a true 2 ohm load the 2 amps would be doing around 5kw - and we all know those amps don't pull that kind of number...

If you divide it by 1.414 (RMS to Peak conversion) you get 1839w/amp which is probably a bit closer to the truth... IN FACT if you divide by 1.414 again you get right around 1300w/amp (non True RMS clamp meter) which is bang on what the factory test results claim.

So yeah. That's my input on that one.

2,525 watts at 4 ohms? i don't believe that shit.

did he also mention what the THD was? probably around 5%

i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

buy my amp and try it out.

60$ shipped?
