so you telling me that three six mofia was not used at usaci finals??????

I think thats real music unless your going to say some gay *** neil diamond stuff

correct not enough and im way under powered for that class

Yep - both meters on peak hold is not an accurate power measurement.

If they are both true RMS meters you can do as suggested earlier and wait until both meters level off (not on peak hold) and use those figures. Since voltage and current do not peak at the same time you are getting measurements from two different times - not getting how much power was actually delivered at any one time.

Even then its not entirely accurate, per-se, but that is how most people do it and you can compare results that way.

but im sure my team mate can get me where i would need to be for that class you might of heard of him before

its just how usaci is. they go by power so naturally people find an edge. dbdrag is the same way but with subs. over built subs to take tons of power! either way it comes down to vehicle and box. useless arguement on either side.

Once again, still farther away than any of the drag or MECA shows I attend.
Plus finals is entirely too far away.

you have to be able to make it to finals before you can worry about that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

pretty close though. but ss dont have the "8400" watts jeff is using more like 40,000 plus.

a off the wall question ....that freq looked rather high to me ...what was it?

 

[sanman 10+ year member]

correct still not precise so you have 2 ways of doing it this still doesnt account for the fact that its as strong as some of the bigger amps out there

a z2 in my s10 unmanned did 160.5 the cactus is 1 db off of that.

yall dont like the way i did it but the tl is the main unit of measurement most of us use because its th only that matters in the lanes.

Yeh i mean both orgs everyone wants to win.

DB drag has guys using the cactus batt with 4 40.1s off it in lowest class and still doing nice numbers.

And USACI has amps that have a good 4ohm rating to be used in its lowest class for good results.

And dont get me started on MECA and their "fuse banks" haha, basically if theirs a way to win that exploits the rules to the fullest someone will find it.

I have a nice collection of USACI world finals invites that I never used. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

72 hertzzzz

correct 161 on 22k watts thats 3 rd audio 9.0 at finals so im getting ready to add 3 more of them amps and double power that will be right at 40k ill keep you informed on what it does exactly

If you are comparing all the amps in your setup all with the same woofers wired at the same load your measurement is still useful to compare amps to each other for your vehicle - that is why you are seeing TL numbers that roughly correspond with your power difference //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But a double peak hold measurement will always yield an artificially high number. If you want to compare to what other people are getting just watch both meters not on peak hold once it levels off.
