I appreciate the information and during testing tomorrow i may try it. It just tough trying to fit the amps somewhere, and having them accessible.
I feel ya man. Good luck, I'm tuned in
Been testing and building loud spl and sql enclosures for long time all types of cars including crx's. There are a lot of misconceptions about firing forward and firing up. It's all about how you tune it. Also a challenge is to try and make it play relatively flat. This is still kind of a test box. It's an educated "guess" from already testing the truck with a single 10" and working with this style before. Once i know how a vehicle peaks and what kind of music the person wants to listen to then design comes together. And aeroport is far louder and easier to tune then a normal slot port so that helps.
That's what you forsee with the 1 ohm load after rise, huh? I bet you're close. Since it's a ported box, I'm going to guess 3200 just to be different. I got almost 3100, but I have a sealed box though.
You where closer then my guess. He didn't have enough battery by far or it's more of his stock alternator. About 3150w on music rising to 4ohms but with voltage down to 11.4v. ouch. Needs an alternator for sure. And so far preliminary spl is music 149.7db and spl 150db. So right where I wanted it even though power was a little less then predicted. I'll post full results later. And so far after 5 hours of consistent full tilt testing amp is only 95 degrees. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif And subs are at 75 degrees. More results to come.
Ok don't start saying or thinking they can be run at 1ohms because in 90% of the applications it I still don't recommend it nor can it be run that low. Only reason it works in this application is because of the subs used and the box design and size among other reasons. Most people don't understand how these factors effect how an amp can be run and if I start telling people that it can be run at 1ohms and they have a way lower impedance rise and not enough electrical then people will start over heating amps and potentially blowing them and I don't want that because that'll hurt the Stetsom name.
