|
|
Guys,
I spoke to Rene briefly on this topic (see http://forums.trinituner.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=260185) and we discussed having a day set aside, where everyone can attend a central venue to test amp output and input voltage, i.e. input voltage, output amperage, output voltage. If we can get another decent clamp meter we can measure input amperage as well to calculate amplifier efficiency too.
We will NOT be testing clipping or unclipped output as we don't have an oscilloscope.
This test will give an idea of the output power of amplifiers and we'll test SPL as well in the person's setup.
Date: November 1st (don't want to mess with people's systems before MK Finals)
Venue: Central
Result: Output Amplifier Power at a given input voltage, with corresponding Termlab SPL reading of your system
What you need to bring: Your (entire) system such that we can access the amplifier terminals and the speaker wires going from the amps to the subs.
Cost: Assume about a $20 cost for SPL meter rental per person. (I have to confirm this cost)
Please reply in this thread if you are interested and the amplifier(s) you will be bringing to test.
Regards,
Jonathan |

It doesn't have to be an SPL monster amp, or even a monoblock.
Once its connected to a subwoofer that can handle a burp from that amp, it can be tested via the above method. |
