[QUOTE="mightycrappy, post: 3216725, member: 576838"] Ok sorry for a noob question. I seriously tried searching for this but could not find the answer. We are/were going to hook his amp up to an Oscope and try and see when it clips. That would be like benchmarking it, correct? In order to do that we would need a dummy load right? How do we know what size resistor to use? It's apparently a 900W RMS amp and we were going to check. When we get the right sized dummy load, do we just hook it amp up to scope and turn up gain till it clips and that's it? I went to the [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/settinggainswithscope.htm"]BCAE1 gain setting oscope page[/URL], but that seemed confusing as all hell. Can anyone out there give me some quick help? BTW would we need a resistor to test HU? Would we test the sub preouts or the speakers? [/QUOTE]
