Impedence & Current Draw

[Eldorado 5,000+ posts]

How does a regulated power supply allow the amp to defy the laws of physics. All a regulated power supply does is allow the amp to produce the same power (same rail voltage) regardless of the supply voltage. That has nothing to do with current and load impedance.

Low imput voltage= more amperage

Lower ohm load= more amperage....

I know how it works, but the response was worded to imply that a regulated power supply will keep an amp from making more power at lower impedances, which is clearly not the case.

Is it possible the problem occured @ the twisted wire area? They wern't touching or anything...

stupid question, but was the twisted wire taped up? You don't need much contact to short out.

Looks like a frankenwoofer with a DD cone...

Anyways.. back to the topic. I just realized that this problem never happened untill I switched to my Optima battery. It happened today with the XXX when I was beating on it with my car off. It works just fine and dandy when I have the car one, it's just when the car is off the problem presists. Is it possible that some shitty Kirkland battery can out preform a Optima Yellow top when the car is off?

It sounds to me like your battery didn't have enough juice when you hooked it up to the amp. Charge the yellowtop fully.

NOT a prototype any longer, but WAY outta my price range.

O.P. maybe a slightly loose connection at the battery, or somewhere in the power change from the battery change out?

Yea, I think your right. thanks bud.
