Each amp channel is seeing 1 ohm, I would never do this to an amp I paid money for. Speakers have an impedance response much like antenna's, It's actually dipping below 2 ohms at certain freqs. You don't know which unless you have done an impedance plot on the box. I take it you are using 2 (X) 4 ohm subs? Try it in 4 ohm stereo and see if you gain fidelity. You should get a lot more headroom and more "punch" (god I hate that word). You need that reserve capacity for metal because the attack of a 20" Tama pro star is much greater than that of your average Roland 808 beat box. I see it all the time in Pro audio, people see the big power number and go for it, under the mentality of "if the number is bigger it has to sound better". If it's in your truck you probably won't notice a max output difference due to the fact that the transfer function starts so high and your skin is not as sensitive to tactile "hearing" as your ears are. It will just be quicker and sound better. Metallica "one" is asways good to see if an amp is running out of poop in the dynamic end. Each one of those double kick stabs should sound the same. If the first has great attack and the rest just rumble you are killing the power supply and should unload it a tad. Keep in mind these are crude methods but often work and are easy to explain in a CB newsgroup. Good luck, Chad |

Yeah, yeah. Metalhead here as well... I just meant it's ridiculous that
they chose to select rock music as an example of the IDIOTS that are driving around with systems so loud they can't hear an emergency vehicle behind them and then they're sitting so low in their cars they couldn't see it either!! Looks to me like the writer is afraid...NOBODY can possibly write an article about LOUD stereo's in cars these days and not mention rap. Rock Music indeed!! Don "DR. Death" wrote in message ... "M-Tech" wrote in message ... Rock Music? ROCK Music??? ROCK MUSIC???? WTF ABOUT HIPHOP/RAP??? I NEVER hear "ROCK MUSIC" blaring from an auto....it's ALWAYS RAP. I guess the writer is afraid he'll lose his job..... LOL Anyway, I think it's a good idea. I never liked LOUD music in a car because of the safety factor.

But typical to my nature it never happened and I settled on JL Audio 10W0's. I'm car shopping now and was thinking of those subs, I'm still torn due to the fact that I still have an old JBL1500GTI that needs reconed (they were based on the 2226 pro driver), I loved that sub in the caddy because it was so true to life and ever so fast (Pantera reproduction) I always go for fidelity first, if you have the power and know how to make it sound fantastic then volume will follow. I tell the car audio nerds around here each of my 5, yep only 5, speakers have their own channel of amplification and crossover, they get lost. No it ain't as loud as theirs, but it will hurt, AND it will play Vivaldi convincingly and a bosendorfer grand sounds as if the player is using your lap as a piano bench. Chad |
