Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1023 Registered: Apr-05 | Hey, I have heard you say many times in here that someone actually benched the A8000T and it puts out it's rated power. I am just wondering who actually did that? And how do you go about benching an amp? Thanks bro. |

Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1024 Registered: Apr-05 | haha, well the reason why I was asking is becuase I was at a car audio shop near me and I asked if they could benchtest my amp to see how much power it really put out. And they told me that you can't benchtest an amp to see how much power it puts out. I was like what?? I knew there was a way to do it, but they said there wasn't. They must be retarded! |

Post Number: 8033 Registered: Jul-05 | u know how that goes @ "an audio shop" when u ask a technical ? , they r like "eh !?" while giving u a blank stare & scratching their heads OR the guys who feel they know more than u will answer with a 110% attitude like "no it cant be done !"& "this is a better way" -lol yea - i seen how some of these business ppl operate , they r only out 2 make a sale ...... |

Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1025 Registered: Apr-05 | LOL, you absolutely right! They are an Eclipse dealer and when I was asking questions about the Titanium they were like "we don't keep any in stock but we can order one for you". Then I was I like, yeah, I am going to be buying a 12" one from someone else. And they got the most disapointed look on there faces. And then I was like "and I am getting it for 250 shipped in a custom made box to eclipse specs, thats a pretty good deal isnt it" And the dude was like "uh yeah, thats ok, but you don't know what the guy...." and proceeded to tell me all the things the guy selling it to me could be doing to rip me off. The guy I bought it from bought it from an Eclipse authorized dealer 5 monthes ago for $500 and they made the box for him too. Then this guy was like, "oh, well it could have been old stock like from 3 years ago." HAHA! I was just like whatever and left. I can't wait to get my Ti though, it is gonna be awesome baby!!! I'll probably have pics of my setup when I get it all together in my new car. Well used car, but new to me! lol. |

Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1026 Registered: Apr-05 | The only thing that I am a little concered about it under powering it. I have an amp that puts out roughly ~700 wmrs, and the Ti is 750 wrms. Will I get full excursion? I want all 38.1 mm of that shit. LOL. :P Does anyone else on here have a Ti? What would say about this power issue? |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1427 Registered: Oct-05 | 50 watts really is nothing. not a huge diff. u will still get somewhere around that excursion... why do u want that much anyways. lol |
|
Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1027 Registered: Apr-05 | That much excursion? Thats what that Xmax of the Ti 12" is, 1.5" or 38.1 mm. If I get full excursion I should be getting the most out of the sub, and that is my goal. BTW, I won't have it untill like Thurs. next week. Anyway here is a pic of it. Does it look like a 2005 model? It should be.    |

Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 5929 Registered: Dec-04 | the TI is rated per VC so its 1500rms, there is a guy on here who has one and loves it. I think his name is eclipseTI or something like that. |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1429 Registered: Oct-05 | i didnt mean "that much" by that much. i just wanted to know why u want to know the excursion? i say, if it sounds good, that i like it |
|
Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1028 Registered: Apr-05 | James I thought that is was rated 750 watts RMS and 1500 watts music. Something like that. I didn't know what that meant. So you think that I will be really underpowering it? |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1430 Registered: Oct-05 | is the rms is 1500 and ur givin it 700, then yes. lol |
|
Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 656 Registered: Dec-05 | i think that isaac bench tested it, and he said that it was cool for temperature problems |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7391 Registered: Jul-05 | ok im here.lol, i see u guys ran with the thread without me.lol Anywho, isaac i really would suggest u talk to the dealer where u bought ur ti from, and ask him will the warrenty cover me if i send the TI 1500rms....If he says sure, then buy a bigger amp.... |
|
Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1029 Registered: Apr-05 | lol Chauncey, I didn't buy it from a dealer. I bought it from a guy who bought it from a dealer. I don't think that the warranty will transfer to me, will it? I can ask the guy to send the recipets and stuff with if he has them, if it will do any good. Look at the power rating here: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2003 Whatever Music Power Handling is? |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7399 Registered: Jul-05 | One reason I say talk to a dealer is because, when i had my Brahma's the rms was 1600rms, but that was just the vc thermal handling power, needless to say i blew that b!tch fast....lol I talked to a dealer, and he said just send it 600-800rms and it will be fine....so i take it with all the confusion better safe then sorry....Also since ur not sure if u have the warranty,, call them..... |
|
Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1030 Registered: Apr-05 | Yeah, I did talk to an Eclipse dealer and they said that I should be ok with my ~700-750 wrms. I guess that the "music power hendling" must be something like the thermal rating like your Brahma. In the future I might look for something a little more powerful. I'll have to make the judgement call once I hook it up. The dude I am selling it from is also selling a Memphis 1000D that he used to power it. I think he will give it to me for $200. I have never used Memphis stuff, but I have heard it is decent equipment. Is this a good deal for that amp? I would really have to scrape some cash together to get it though.... |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1443 Registered: Oct-05 | its a good deal. i have heard that amp is a very powerful 1000 watt amp |
|
Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1032 Registered: Apr-05 | Yeah, it sounds really tempting. But I really am strapped for cash, like I said I just bought a car. Plus if I get that amp I would need to upgrade my alt. Which will cost me another 110 bucks. Oh crap, decisions, decisions....  |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7406 Registered: Jul-05 | u could get a audioburn A8000T or A8002T, both are like $120 shipped on ebay.... but if u bought the memphis, the resale would be great $250-$275, i would get the memphis |
|
Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1034 Registered: Apr-05 | I would never buy a Audiobahn amp ever. That's just me, I like quality. I'll keep my Xtant that puts out a little less power over a Audioburn with a little more power ANYDAY. I wish I had the money for the Memphis..... I suppose I could alway buy it and resell it, like you say. On ebay they are going for like 300 and more. HOLD THE PHONE! I just realized the Memphis does 1000 wmrs @ 1 ohm! And 600 wmrs @ 2 ohms. That means he was only giving the sub 600 watts too! So that really isn't even a very good match for the sub. The only reason I would buy it now would be to resell it. |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7408 Registered: Jul-05 | so the TI is a dvc 4ohm sub??? If u dont buy it, i will buy it from him...lol. If i where u i would buy it use it for a while until i could save up and get something that i wanted... |
|
Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1038 Registered: Apr-05 | Yeah, the Ti us DVC 4 ohm. If you want to buy the amp I can refer you to him. He will sell the Memphis 1000D for 210 shipped plus he told me that he would through in a 1 Farad cap. Anyway, he also told me that he was only running at 2 ohms so it was getting about 600-700 wrms, I;m assuming the Memphis is somewhat underated. Even then he said it POUNDED! So my amp does like 750 wrms, so I should be good. My guess woul dbe then that the RMS of the Ti really is 750 and 1500 would be the thermal rating for the voice coils. |

Bronze Member Username: GangstafertPost Number: 84 Registered: May-06 | how much do you thinnk that memphis is underated by? |
|
Silver Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 284 Registered: Mar-06 | memphis IS NOT underrated, it puts out 1100 rms at listening volume, PLAYING WHATCHA KNOW, not even a good bass song, im running at 1.5 ohms and it 1100 rms |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7427 Registered: Jul-05 | i think that memphis has 4x40 amp fuses, so it could easily put out 1400-1500rms |
