zachfowler222 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 how can you know how many actual watts your amp is pushing like say if it was rms 5000 how could you tell what your actually getting i dont know how to figure it out my installer told me what mine was but idk how to find out myself on other people systems thanks in advance zach I SCAM PEOPLE OUT OF MONEY... AVOID ME LIKE I AM AN AIDS INFECTED RETARD...
Guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 how is this crazy? only real way to tell is with an ammeter on the power wire going to the amp (or on speaker wire idr), an ohm meter on the speaker wire, and a volt meter on the speaker wire.
skittlesRgood Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 how is this crazy? only real way to tell is with an ammeter on the power wire going to the amp (or on speaker wire idr), an ohm meter on the speaker wire, and a volt meter on the speaker wire. an ohm meter wont do anything. ac clamp meter on either + or - speaker leads and a DMM measuring ac voltage on the speaker outs. play a test tone, like 50hz. then multiply amperage by voltage and itll give you wattage. divide voltage by amperage and you will have impedance. its called "ohms law". an oscope wont tell you anything for power. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.
