Sundown 1000D weak bass??

You have to be kidding me if you believe an amplifier is an ohmic device. Remember I am studying EE, have studied FETs, you are studying business or IT or some other easy crap like that. FETs are not ohmic, therefore things built around them are also not ohmic. Best explanation is that amps are more efficient at higher ohm ratings thus turning more of their input power into output power.

Ohms law

Power = Voltage x Current

Unless you have a regulated amp: As the relationship for the current and voltage changes, IE impedence, power will change.

You don't have to get all EE on me, practicality > Idiocy'

Furthermore, I really don't appreciate you calling my choice in profession easy crap like that.

You can **** off how about that.

Non-Ohmic Devices

* If a device behaves in a way that is NOT described by Ohm's law, (i.e. The resistance is not constant, but changes in a way that depends on the voltage across it.) the device is said to be non-Ohmic. In that case V(I) is not a straight line, but has some curvy shape. In this case, the resistance is called dynamic resistance because it's constantly changing.

Exactly what an amplifier and a subwoofer are. Yes P=IE, but also P=I^2*R or P=V^2/R, these last 2 explain why it is non ohmic and why the output of an amp is not linear for a linearly decreasing resistance.

What is it going to be out of phase with? Itself? The frontstage?
Neither of which will effect loudness. You only get horrible output from 2 subs being out of phase.

Reading > me LOL...I thought he had 2 subs...just skimmed it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

You sound like a typical engineer. Too much book smarts and not enough common sense.

I never said it was an ohmic device. You really just need to fuck off. Your pissing off the wrong person.

Yup.

if he has a dual coil woofer and on of the wires if flipped backwards then it wont affect sound? I have never actually done it, just assuming.

This just confirmed it. You're really overcomplicating an easy situation.

You said ohms law applies, thus saying it is an ohmic device, thus you are wrong.

As for your second statement, is that a threat? I am really scared of some hick *** kid, you've got me shaking in my boots. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

IT>EE imo lol

Prolly cuz I am IT.

EE to me is alot of commen sense and equations.

I can do alot of electronics with out really ever going to school for it. On the other hand you come and correct network 100's of computers together without any flaws and then we can talk.

No, I am saying that applying ohms law to a non ohmic device by saying something that puts out 1100 watts at 1 ohm would put out 1/4 of that at 4 ohms is completely and utterly incorrect.

 

[shortyg83 10+ year member]

screw it here are the ratings without using ohms law and goin by sundowns spec sheet

1000 x 1 watts @ 1 ohm

600 x 1 watts @ 2 ohms

300 x 1 watts @ 4 ohms

0.2v - 6v adjustable input sensitivity

10 Hz - 350 Hz Frequency Response

> 90 dB S/N Ratio

In this situation, it is very pragmatic and works.

You half the impedence with that amp, and you get nearly double the power, up to a certain point.

You've fucked up buddy, when half this board was talking shit to you, I took up for you. Even told Nick you were trying to do good things, Guess I was wrong and you just like to stir the pot.

Have fun with your EE, and your pointless shitstirring, I'm done with you.

it woudl heat up the voice coil, make little to no sound, and eventually burn the coil.
