Talk about someone taking things too personal. Its an amplifier dude, calm down. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
I was going to drop out of this conversation, as people with actual experience are giving their input now... but you are just being an ***.

I dont remember where I read the output drops to 3k. If Im wrong, forgive me, sue me, or get over it. Any of those 3 will do. But while you are on your rant, maybe you can, with your real world experience, tell us what it DOES drop down to. Or, is your real world experience suggesting it does indeed defy the laws of physics and can sustain full output indefinitely? We all know how it works Mr Meade, it has a bank of caps that it switches between using and its 12volt source (and both for peak output). I dont have to have jizzed on my own personal unit to know how it works. Caps discharge, and when they do, they need recharged. If it will sustain longer than the "5 minute death match" comment suggested in my quote from CA&E (which correct me if Im wrong, did test an actual unit), then yes please do tell us. But so far all you've basically said is you've never depleted the caps.

If you are gonna beat on us unworthy non-owners for having incorrect info, you could at least do some testing and give us some correct/specific info. Otherwise you just look like an advertisement for RF in this thread.

LOL...You nailed it!! I like Steve tho, but you nailed that one!

I don't think the hybrid technology will ever be too big. I won't buy a 1000w amp thats the size of a microwave and costs $1500.

actually, do some research on class A/B amps......if you had 16-26,000 class A/B watts it would be VERY hard and you would need an electrical system for your car like no other.........big differnce between clas A/B and D.
also the benefit to a smaller amp with this technology is that if you had a 1000 watt amp drawing 30 amps, you could have a very powerful system and still roll a stock alt NO problem. HOw bout when a DECK with the same technology (someday) can do 1000 watts all by itself (and im not talking the generic peak numbers still on the face of most decks).

here is a video that will explain the Hybrid technology a little better.....its something the dont knows need to watch //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I am well versed in the technology. And if done right you can run retarded amounts of power off stock systems. Again not for everyone either. It takes all kinds. I am not downing what you are doing nor Rockford.

Show me the efficiency of this amp. If its over 100% over time I will grant you and Rockford the Noble Prize for physics.

watch the video, converts 12V to 140V. Increases power therefor more efficent than power going in

wheres my noble prize *****?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

look im a caveman, i havent been in school for 20 years.........i cant compete in the math department with some (most) of you that are still in school. Not many people can (ever see teh show "5th grader".....) its hard, you forget so much over the years. Thats beside the point, everyone who has no experience says these amps **** and cant do what they say but the fact is, i have hooked 2 up and as nervous as i was by listening to you guys spout off, i was genuinly relieved when i heard them the first time. Not only are they insanely loud they are some of the cleanest car amps on the market...if not THE.

again, it may be lost in the mix here are two links.

here is testing on YOUR LEVEL not mine, i am a caveman......and they (audiograph) are unbiased and have NOTHING to do with RF.

here is the explanation link.

Appearntly it does take a rocket scientist because no one else can figure out how the amp works to manipulate and maximize the power.
And again the money thing will change as the amps become mass produced in several sizes.

Let me just ask you guys this.... please just forget this whole RF discussion for a minute. If a company (any company) put out a new amp, that puts out lets say 3000wrms and it ran the same price as any other amp in its range but ran cooler, could be .5ohm stable, and last but not least only draw 100amps of power. Would you buy it? Or would you say theres no advantage and stick to the traditional way?

No I wouldnt. I have said that numerous times. It has nothing to do with Rockford. If you dont understand why, then I will just let if be and we can sit back and see what happens.

Like anything new the first ones are bigger and more expensive, would you try it though if it was 250 and the size of a normal amp?

 

[audioholic 5,000+ posts]

I dont think anyone is saying the T15kw sucks. We are saying it, like all other amplifier designs, has its advantages and disadvantages.

We dont always have to agree with each other.
You helped me get in touch with Missing Link Audio a while back. Thanks again. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

how big were the first computers in the 50's and 60

s? ........bigger then a FOOTBALL field, real to reals spinning every direction.....for what would probably amount to the memory/power capability of a modern Jpeg......give it time young grasshopper //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I have no problem with you at all Steve. I think you are a very skilled individual.

I dont think anyone is saying the T15kw sucks. We are saying it, like all other amplifier designs, has its advantages and disadvantages.

Thats been my point at least.

 

[bumpin buick 5,000+ posts]

I think we can just leave it everyone has there own opinions and appearantly the people who have used them or seen them in action have no say over them. I understand as everyone is, skeptic to a new technology but I was impressed by it and I just dont understand why everyone hates it, is it cause you guys cant afford the first batch? yeah there expensive but that will change in time.
