Gold Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 3087 Registered: Feb-05 | thoes amps are nice, but exact output will vary from amp to amp and install to install as with all electronics. |
Silver Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 333 Registered: Sep-06 | Does anybody own a NINe.1 do they come with birthsheet if so what did yours say. |
Silver Member Username: SkiesCourtenay, British Colu... Canada Post Number: 279 Registered: Aug-05 | That amp they tested was B STOCK! even though that isnt really near realistic output, thats still VERY impressive.... I have a nine.1, they dont come with birthsheets. |
Silver Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 336 Registered: Sep-06 | Tyler What subs are you running on your NINe.1 |
Silver Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 337 Registered: Sep-06 | ? Does anybody know how long ELEMENTAL DESIGNS AMPS have been around. |
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2586 Registered: Dec-05 | at least you know they're underrated and they will put 1200w rms with 12V hehe |
Silver Member Username: SkiesCourtenay, British Colu... Canada Post Number: 280 Registered: Aug-05 | "What subs are you running on your NINe.1" sadly, none I've got it sitting in my living room... I'm either gonna use it to power my dd 9515, or treo ssx :P... whichever comes first, money to make box for 9515, or recone of ssx... |
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3422 Registered: Mar-04 | That "test" is wrong. You cant just test your output voltage on the amp an get power. You have to get your current too. for instance...they said the output voltage was 43volts. the way they "calculated" power was 43^2. 40x40= 1600 That is the wrong way to measure an amp's output. They would have needed a measurement for current also. For instance, lets say that they are wired to 1ohm nominal (DCR) and actually saw a box rise of 3ohm (AC). Even w/ 40Vac they would have only got 13.33amps of current. What would be 533.2w in reality. And that is a reasonable amount. Box rise plays a HUGE part in the power your amp acually produces. |

Silver Member Username: Kaos15thPost Number: 217 Registered: Mar-05 | I think it means good job white. lol my guess.... |
Silver Member Username: RenegadesrunLafayette, IN US Post Number: 166 Registered: Oct-04 | Good job. Not many even know that impedence exists, or its effects. Can even get it from the wire you use, to various extents. |
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3425 Registered: Mar-04 | oh...thanks. I learned about impedence rise a long time ago. Before I was like most people and thought "hey, 1000w @1ohm...that means my sub will get 1000w all the time". LOL. I have seen on many occasions that people that 'think' they know about impedence rise really dont. Even alot of 'good' SPL competitors dont realize that voltage and current are not in phase w/ one another. I cant count the number of times i have seen someone put their DMM and amp-clamp on peak-hold and try to find box rise...LMOA. |

Gold Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 1147 Registered: Oct-04 | Thank you marshall. I think that the proper formula is (40 x 40) / 2. That would be 800 watts. And why would they install a lead-acid battery inside of the vehicle? Nice looking box though. |
Gold Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 1150 Registered: Oct-04 | Thats at two ohms anyway. If the load was one ohm then his test would of been true. cause V^2 / R = P |
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3456 Registered: Mar-04 | no...the proper formula is: V x A = P and V / A = I I = impedence (ac), it will change w/ freqency. for instance...my SX15 was wired to 1ohm DCR. But the amp actually 'saw' ~3.35ohm at my burp freqency. I got this from on of my amps once (bp1200.1): ~50.5v and 15.1amps AC 50.5 / 15.1 = 3.344ohm <---actual load the amp saw 50.5 x 15.1 = ~762w <---actual power the amp gave me In that install, I was doing 148.0-.6dB on TL regularly. |
