Stetsom 14k2d

lol don't laugh, look how far the computer has come, room size to half-room size to corner,, to desktop and to this Htc touch phone i'm on the internet with writing these post. so I know that in about 10 yrs from now Sundown would probly have a class d amp that runs 1/8 ohm putting out 30,000 watts, on 14 volt system. why, cause that's might be what the costumer wants. like now everybody wants to know if their amps can handle a 1/2 ohm load, soon these amps will available
I think you need to read up on ohm's law

sure...all u gotta do is fund us then we make it happen //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

one billion dollars sir via paypal please

the kitties did it!!! i blame them

 
the way things are going I wouldn't be surprised if we see an amp with 50,000 watts with only 1000 amps of power
Not possible, and never will be with a 12V-16V car system.

He should laugh...I did. Computer technology has nothing to do with how much amperage will be pulled for a given amount of power, at a given voltage, and with a given efficiency. These things can't be cheated, period. That's why I find it impossible to believe that an amp can produce 14kw with a single 1/0 that can only handle maybe 400-500 amps of current for a few seconds. At 100% efficiency, 14kw will draw around 850 amps at 14.4V...so expect around 950-1000 amps considering 80-85% efficiency...and that's probably being a little generous. Ideally you'd want three 1/0 inputs to give that amp the current it needs...even two would be a big difference.

 
Fellas the 10's will take all of 5k apiece. Those vidz are for testing and showing limits nothing more. Most of those are waaaaay below box frequency with 3500+ rms.

I'll get vidz up soon just really strapped trying to rebuild for this weekend. Subs hardly move with a single 5k at .5.

im not as smart as other with amps...but i wonder if adding more and bigger caps on the inside of the amp would help?

also doesnt the amp convert to AC voltage and then step it up to 110 volt? well what if it stepped it up to 220 or what is the last one 440?

You still have to contend with the fact that the incoming supply is still a vehicle electrical system at 12-18v DC -- the voltage inside the amp doesn't mean it draws less current from the outside source.

Stetsom and Sound Digital are up there in the ~200 volt range now inside the amp.

As for caps... see the RF T15kw. Caps just store energy - they don't make it. It spreads out the current draw over time -- so the amp draws less from the external source under heavy load and then more under light load to re-charged it's reserve.

 
You need voltage stepping to get those big big big #'s out of amps, right? But that is illegal in dbdrag, so idk how it works... but the RF has voltage stepping parts right?

okay thanks for clearing up the first part //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

as for the 2nd part thats my point, well i suppose it would only be good for the 5 sec burp. but the more caps and bigger ones inside the amp, the less it has to draw for the actualy burp correct?
