145db with 1000rms??

ah audioholic i need ur help
Why? I think everyone has formed their opinions of the major contributors to this thread already. I think Big Superman72 already knows he stuck his foot in his mouth in this thread without someone else chiming in to agree. He is not hitting 160db, his amps aren't putting out 2200 watts each, and he knows it. He wouldn't say "Im gonna do it tomorrow just watch me" and then the next day say "Im gonna way a few months" unless he realized his mistake sometime in between. Or, was it not a 3 hour drive to get metered the night before when he claimed he would prove himself? *shrug*
You can tell the truth your entire life and nobody notices. But you get caught lying once, and you will be forever remembered as a liar. A problem you yourself are working on as well here Cot.

I didnt lie, Im not liar, You just think that because you "formed opinion". You'll never amount to anything more than a man that makes $65,000 a year, because your simple minded therefore this is your downfall. I dont state blasphomy. You didnt do any research. You read the topic and made your decision off of what was presented infront of you. Im not the only person to own this amplifier. I actually presented the topic infront of you. It was similar to entrapment. No one did any research. You simply read other peoples posts and decided apon what other people decided. Therefore your follower. This fits perfectly, for my research for my pyschology paper. "Fragile minds". If your older than 30 please pm so I can remove your posts from my paper. Thank you come again.

Oh hey look, a psychology student who has us all figured out. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
"No one did any research. You simply read other peoples posts and decided apon what other people decided."

I stated why I feel the way I do. But in your haste to fit me into a column for your little psychology experiment, you failed to absorb to part where I stated my reasons. Either that, or you are too scared to face up to my reasons, so you chose to ignore them. You can ask your psychology teacher if you did it consciously or subconsciously. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

You know you posted a bold claim. Excuse me, two bold claims. One, that you are "definitly in the 155-160 range" (spelling error quoted) and "You can witness my 155dBs. I know I atleast hit that" that has now slipped to "you guys can say Im not hittin 155s I maybe lil less".

When asked to back up this bold claim... which is only natural considering its, well, bold... you reply with "I tell wha Im going to meter my system today, Ill scan the sheet up here and laugh my *** off later". You then later change your story to your buddy's termlab is out of state till March. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

And second bold claim, that your amps do more than double their rated output. your proof? Because your 'friend' the salesman told you so. I guess that's also where you get all your inside info such as RF amp's are overrated? You seem to claim insider knowledge in some replies, and claim ignorance of evem your own amp due to lack of interest in other replies. Which is it, are you an insider, or a novice?

When asked to back up this bold claim... to clamp a meter on it and give voltage read outs, you give us battery voltage readings. Repeatedly. This tells us you are either ignorant completely of this subject, that you dont even know where to test for amplifier output, even when instructed. Or that you are competent, but again avoiding answering a hard question. I tend to think the former rather than the latter, because if you are just lying about all this, you'd just lie and give us a fake DMM reading.

My feelings, based on your words and nobody else's here, as I have laid out, are you dont really have the knowledge of this subject you initially implied. Being an insider to specs we aren't privy too. but further questioning tells us you dont even know how to test your own amplifier. So you tell me, what are the readers suppose to think? I dont know you, I have no axe to grind with you. But when Cotjones starts looking like the mature one, that's pretty much rock bottom. That's a warning sign if ever I saw one.

If you want to people to think you are correct, clamp your amp and post a pic. Its not hard to prove, or disprove. Otherwise, you cant blame them/us for feeling how we do. As for the definitely maybe sorta probably not 155-160 range, until you test it, why are you on a thread about SPL scores bragging about your system's score?

Are you sure you're a college student writing a psychology paper? You can't even make it through a whole sentence without messing something up. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif There are more punctuation errors, but it'd take a while to point all of them out and then explain to your simple mind how a proper sentence is supposed to be formed.

What "college" do you go to again? Be sure and tell your "professors" they fail at educating "students," okay?

How are you doing a paper for psychology when your spelling and grammar are atrocious? You couldn't even pass your general studies much less write a thesis paper. Seriously you made yourself look like a complete fool here. Save face and man up and admit it.

 
His claim will be that this is only a forum and proper grammar isn't needed. However, if you truly are educated and have the ability to use proper grammar, it's a habit. It would be difficult to make an atrocious mess of a sentence.

 
Now it's time for the rapeing...

The after amplification wires are one thing, but before that....

your amp itself has to draw the current required to produce the wattage at given volatge.

You can find the amp draw of a 100% efficiency amplifier with the equation

watts/volts= amps

Now lets look at your system...

your amps are right around 88% efficiency.

To give 2200 watts they would draw right about 159amps.

thus 2 of them would draw 318 amps

Meaning your fuse at the battery would need to be between 300 and 325 Amps to avoid an instant burn.

However, your stock alt on that 99 silverado only gives 105 amps.

Your truck probably takes AT LEAST 40% so that means that in order to get that 4400 watt total, you are magically pulling 260 amps out your ***.

 
To be fair, his battery bank would provide a voltage buffer to allow a burp. But yes, any prolonged listening sessions would likely create a severe voltage problem.

It doesn't really matter, its all a guess. Its not like people dont guess ridiculous scores for their system here every day.
