    clamp test

    not all the time bit would like to give subs rated power atleast and see how much headroom i have to upgrade. i know that but i want to know bassically how much i can pull from one amp at different voltage and headroom to add on later down the road instead of buying an amp that is rated for 1200 at 2 ohms and knowing it does 1200 and not knowing that i does a little more and to know what and how much headroom i have. for me knowing what the clamp test of an amp did would let me know how far down the chain of amps i can go to match the rms wattage of the sub(s) i would run off of that amp

    then what would be a formula to calculate how much an amp can put out at different voltages
  3. no if 1 ah is 300f at 12v that would mean a 100ah battery is 30'000F which is means a battery is great for reserve power, but you are giving up reserve power for charge rate. with a battery it can't charge and discharge at the same time that is where a bank of caps shine. there are claims that a bank of 1 or 2 caps are 1db louder then a bank of batteries this is a formula that was calculated out for 1 bank of 6caps. 1 joule can produce 1 watt at 1 second. So, let's say we have a bank of (6) black ones. That's 15v/433F. 433/2 = 216.5 15x15 = 225 216.5x225 = 48,712.5 joules

    then what kind of test would be good to understand how well an amp does

    clamp test

    So companies that sell very cheap amps like boss audio for instance. There was a guy who clamped a boss audio 3k or 2k don't recall on the top of my head but it was one of those two and was only making a little leas the 300watts on one channel
  6. if you would like to take a read this is an interesting thread seems to me i will purchase a super(ultra) cap bank in the next few weeks to help me get my wattage up a little 622 peak wattage at 4 ohms on a crescendo 2k is not making me very happy but that wattage helps me get 141.4 peak at i believe was 35 to 36hzi have to wait til the 27th to see what it was. plus be able to see where i stand now and where i stand after i install the ultracaps http://mobileaudioforum.com/forum/showthread.php?2170-Capacitors-are-cool/page8&highlight=ultracaps

    you can have them submit a video or picture with their name on the forums to have it legit. but i thought it would be a cool idea see how much wattage everyone has. they don't have to pay attention to it just use it as a reference on the rating of each company's amps, mainly to give an idea of what company you are investing your money into.
  8. I'm using it as a second battery I have a lead acid upfront @bigjon one of the competiers use's the caps in his daily system but only as a second battery not as a starter. and he is fine with everything but he is pcm regulated and drops from 14.6 to 12.6 on idle and those caps he has work just fine but he gets it ffrom a guy on ebay for like two banks of 6 for 222. i was told by him and the other person that uses them that in a bank of 6 they act like a battery due to the high farad amount

    Subwoofer Decisions

    You can try incriminator audio like a lethal injection or 2 I series the should be fine
  10. Um going to replace my duralast platinum 34r with one
  11. For a bank of six is 125 and it is all put together and a new bat would be 500+
  12. i know a few people at the local dbdrag shows who use them and there is one his name is ron a black yukon of team db addicts uses them all the time he has a stock alt and i believe one regular battery. i was told that with the bank of 6 of them in one bank the large capacity of the them all together they act like a battery.
  13. thank you pmureika for asking this was going to adventiually
  14. it's ultracaps which have 433 farads which is equal to about 1 d3100
  15. oh okay when i get my ultra caps i will be in the mid 40's but need only 100 bucks for it so i need to sell the 2 alpines that i have to get it but i can also sell my amp that i have laying around but done the road might be selling my crescendo for an IA

    clamp test

    oh okay i thought maybe someone might want an amp that produces x wattage at x ohm and be cheap. and sen are you ever in the tri state area because i watched some vids of your build and would like to hear it some day but did not follow up if you still have the evil or not. and one other thing that list do you know where i can find info of the ohms from box rise like what each one goes to like is 1.6ohms considered 1 ohm or 2 ohms and so on and so forth

    new 20.1 question

    i was debating on getting one since i did not know myself if they can be wired to half to .35 ohms. then now i will just need to get the money and sell my bc2000d and run the 20.1 on a 16v and see what she can do
  18. very nice sir and almost there what is your goal
