[QUOTE="BonusBobo, post: 268631, member: 545390"] I'm 17, and I guess I don't look that important when I walk into local car audio shops such as Car Toys, Magnolia Hi-Fi, and Car Stereo City, but god ****... these people say things that just aren't true because they want to make me look like I don't know what I'm doing: Today, I go into Car Stereo City, and I say, "Can I get this amp benched?" Without even trying to be nice or give good service, some dipshit my own age or near it tells me it's 5 bucks. I ask him if he can bench it at 1 ohm, and he goes, "Uh, we don't bench it at ohm loads." Wow. "No, I mean, can you tell me what my amp will do at 1-ohm?" He goes, "Um... let's go see." So, we go out into the install bay, and I talk to a bigger idiot, who is a few years older than I am: Me: Can you bench this at 1-ohm? Him: Uh, what are you trying to do? Me: I'm trying to find out what my amp will do at 1-ohm (what an idiot) Him: You're gonna fry it if you do that. No amp will be able to handle 1-ohm and not fry. Me: You're wrong in saying that. I'm sorry you've never worked with a 1-ohm stable amp, but this one is. Now, back to the question, can you bench this at 1-ohm? Him: No, I don't think we have the power to do that. It wouldn't be able to handle it anyway. Me: I disagree with you. There are dozens of amps that I can name that are 1-ohm stable, and you obviously have no experience with any of them. There are many of these competition amps that are 1-ohm stable and they don't fry. Him: ... Me: Thanks anyway. What a ****ing dumbshit. To think people go there and have people install things boggles my mind. Remind me to never go to a local shop to have something installed again. [/QUOTE]
