February 22, 200817 yr Should post this on CCA. Good sign that you haven't had any thermal problems with it yet.Some people may not like that there...Should post it on SoundGround then. Agreed!
February 22, 200817 yr Should post this on CCA.I got a vendor pushing warning for posting my review of the Maw 15's I had.That place is
February 22, 200817 yr it FINALLY went.. It took about another 15 minutes on the wall... then we pulled it out of the enclosure, and it took about another 4 or 5.. A lot of smoke came off of that puppy.Wheres the Vids???I need some good entertainment!

February 22, 200817 yr Gawd, I can't concentrate on anything at that site. The whole thing is moving with flash and animation.
February 22, 200817 yr Jus so you know a wall socket is only capable of 1800 watts, not the ridiculous 14,000 I have seen mentioned. A breaker is 15 amps with 120Vrms at the socket, Power=Voltage*Current, so 15*120 = 1800 watts, not 14,000.
February 22, 200817 yr More power was flowing through that driver. Otherwise, the breaker wouldn't have popped like it did.
February 22, 200817 yr More power was flowing through that driver. Otherwise, the breaker wouldn't have popped like it did.Yes. but even then I'm going to say the max was 2,000 watts.
February 22, 200817 yr Hard to say bud. You are applying standard Ohm's Law. So, which of the numbers are correct:P = I 2 x R = 225 wattsP = E x I = 1800 wattsP = E 2 / R = 14400 wattsCurrent = 15 amps (we assume)Voltage = 120 voltsResistance = 1 Ohm nominal at 60HzForgive me for getting a boner when the larger number is used. That's just human nature.
February 22, 200817 yr Breakers don't "pop" instantly son.I'd venture to guess a good 8kW would be applied before the breaker did its trick.Next time, get a clamp meter & measure the current
February 22, 200817 yr Breakers don't "pop" instantly son.I'd venture to guess a good 8kW would be applied before the breaker did its trick.Next time, get a clamp meter & measure the current They do pop extremely fast however, especially with a near short.
February 22, 200817 yr Hmmm...The breaker popped about four times and the driver was fine. This shows there was no short. Like Scott said, the only way to measure true power through the driver is to use a clamp meter. Frankly, I think more power flowed through it than 8kw...
February 22, 200817 yr Author well we just threw the box it as in to my car, aimed it to the hatch, and metered it..145.5 as is.
February 22, 200817 yr well we just threw the box it as in to my car, aimed it to the hatch, and metered it..145.5 as is.how much power or did i miss that?(or was that off the wall socket?) Edited February 22, 200817 yr by ddeitz
February 22, 200817 yr Who needs an amp when you have the wall socket. A very reliable, and a very, VERY, plentiful source of power!
February 22, 200817 yr Admin I am starting new SPL Assocation. SPLKitchen.Side note: you should get team ramrod to attack CCA see it the server will hold.
February 22, 200817 yr I am starting new SPL Assocation. SPLKitchen.Im curious are you going Sealed by the oven or by the coffee maker..im 2db louder by the oven.
