plug it into the wall socket they said...

I have one more. im throwing it in a burp box to see wtf will happen lol

Meter it?

I no has tl at my house...

**** well post vids.. I wonder if it will last longer in a box?

meh. the suspension didnt fail free air so it wont fail in a box. after all they have 5 nsv3 spiders lol. it ill fail thermally just like the other one though.

Impedance is relative to frequency. You're feeding the sub 110 volts at 60 Hz. If you make the assumption that the subs coils will present a 1 ohm load at 60 Hz, then according to Ohm's Law, you were feeding the sub 12.1 kW. You can't realistically put a value on the power without knowing the impedance curve of the sub. It could easily be well over 1 ohm, which would drastically lower the power. Did you have a 110 amp breaker or bigger on the circuit? Probably not. I bet it was a 30 amp at max if you did it at home. Taking that into consideration, you'd be looking more at about 3.3 kW which would put the sub at about 3.7 ohms at 60 Hz. That seems very likely to be within the specs of a normal impedance curve. Nevertheless, 3.3 kW is impressive.

it was a 100 amp breaker. its in a shop not a house, thats why lol. either way im impressed.

Clamp the wires the next time to see what kind of current you're pulling. I'd try it, but I don't have that kind of money to waste on a sub. Hell, I'd do it with 440 if I had the sub to blow. I've got plenty of access to 440 at work.

Nice shoes, faggot.

Ok evryone unless i missed something in ohms law I=E/R I=117 amps for lack of real reading 117 v is RMS. Watts = ExR 177x117 =13,689Watts

sure lol

but it was at 1ohm... can we account for that at all?

 

[ejschultz 10+ year member]

117 amps would have tripped the breaker, depending on the type of breaker used. A standard circuit breaker in an electrical box would definitely trip. I doubt you'd have an industrial breaker with a trip unit for a 110 line. And again, impedance curve, impedance curve, impedance curve. If you put it in a box, impedance will go up even more too for those of you who keep saying see how long it'll last in a box. This is coming from my EE background. I have the 4 year, expensive *** piece of paper backing up my statements. No way was it taking that much power.

its a 100 amp breaker for my shop... so idk what it took.

More than likely the breaker would instantaneously trip over 100 amps on a 110 line. How big is this breaker?

it kept tripping. the vid was the 6th try.

Is it like a light switch or do you have to go charge up the springs to reset it?
