Voltage Drop Ruins Amps?

[tristan560]

it all about the songs and the bass line 2 bro

if it something like money man then i will give it 1 1/2 songs but if it something that the bass hits and stops then hits again then MAYBE 2 songs

No it doesn't depend on the song. If the amp is seeing 10v then the amp is seeing 10v.

Hell my stetsom saw 10v all the damn time...still worked fine. Just had to keep an eye on it.

i was just saying 10v of bass like money man then that amp will/might go poof

[tristan560]

I'm saying 10v of money man is the same as 10v of lady gaga. There is no difference if the amp can get the current it needs it will see 10v all the time.

[tristan560]

You're stereotyping all amps basically. I could play money man all day long at 10v if I wanted, and id never see smoke.

Voltage drops in my opinion are never a good thing. They can cause damage in the long run even if the amp is designed with voltage drop protection in mind. They will eventually fail at some point.

LOL whats the difference between a long bass note and a test tone LOL.

EDIT: Don't answer, just think about it.

If you do it too long, yes. If its in short bursts, not really.

What matters is heat build up in the mosfets mostly. If you let them heat up too much from a long period of low voltage or successive bursts with no rest period or not enough, then you will burn them up.

signature worthy!

It shouldn't be toooo bad, depends, running 8v will kill something, 11v would probably not change much.

didnt army guy do a burp at 6 volts in one of his vids? and he said he usually pounds on his stetsom at 8 or 9 volts
