Who's mugging I love 4th order banpasses as well as clamshells just the walls I like and may build one day.

Why let's wall the burnban in a few years with 12-18's.

720a*13.0 = 9360w.....there is something wrong there...........398a*13.0(if same voltage drop) = 5174........makes more sense.....i got the bc3500, and at .5ohm full tilt, my voltage drops to 13.9(14.7); wired to 0.7ohm, it drops to 14.2(from 14.7)....need to buy a clamp to test my amp. so far, i love the amp. this thread started to scare me for a minuted from the wrong testing the op did

Not bad...

new #s make much more sense.. 51xx around 1ohm with a little voltage drop sounds about right

idk what happend the meter brand is fluke. maybe it had a fluke? LOL but yeah after i figured the math 700 plus amps is outragous =P i will have a second one within the next month and run them at 1 ohm totl and .5 each. think they will hold with me alwys having a 3.0 to 4.5 impediance rise depending on the tones i play?

dude, running over 10k worth of amps strapped at .5 each is going to require serious electrical

i have the same board in my amps. and i was told they are the exact same board by the nendo repair guy. so i trust his word. i got 2800w@5 ohms from my amps on 18v, yes 5 ohms. from half ohm rising to 2.2 ohms on 18v starting voltage dropping to 17.4v i got 5742w@2.2 ohms.

with your rise form .4 to 1 ohm on the button you should be seeing around 5k-5500 from that amp in real world. and i would bet your clamp you are using on the amperage from the alt is off. clamp as close to the amp as possible. i run fluke meters also. never had one fail on me.

double check how your doing that amp draw test. i bet thats the issue.
