how bad is .5 ohm

yes, With A Fcking Dmm.

No That Makes No Sense.

How does the DMM tell you if the signal is clipped or not?

haha, man you are cool you have said really good shit and have been right on the money

because if you follow that formula i wrote on the other page, anything above 20 volts on your output is clipping. Have you read anything ive been writing?

This is only with that example, its going to change with different equipment obviously.

you cant "see a clip" with a dmm, you just tune it to a safe frequency

Umm, no. How is anything above 20v clipping?

That formula tells you that if you want 100w's output than your output voltage should be 20v

Yes, of course. Only way to really "see" it is with an oscilliscope, and even then you are just seeing lines on a screen.

You just answered your own question dude. Thats your MAX output before you start clipping. Think about it...

dude its not tuneing to clipping. once again its something that was phrased wrong i think.

the way this works

the dmm gives you exsact numbers, so that you can set it to a frequency well below cliping( so you dont blow shit up=)

then if your unhappy with how hard it pounds and you really want that exstra little bit take the time and effort to go to a shop with a 5000 doller tool to set it perfictly

Heres whats going through my mind right now.

Why couldn't you just change that equation to 150w?? 24.5v... Thats more than 20v.. So then you would say anything above 24.5 is clipping???

So your going to try and push 150 watts out of a amp that only has 100 watts to give?

Yes, thats clipping BTW.

iv seen lots of difrant formulas man 20v is low, but at the same time you want it low you dont want to just go nutts

i just wanted to see if i was going to like it at .5 if i did take it to a osiloscope

if you want true preformance put it on a osiloscope

You never said that it was an amp rated at 100w...

Now I see what you are saying.. But how do you ever know what your amp can do exactly? Or do before a clipped signal.

 

[x2o 10+ year member]

Birth Sheet or go by rated power I suppose.

It'll never be exact unless it's on an oscilliscope, but you can get **** close by means of a DMM.
