[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1539591, member: 560358"] OT: RF15K amp [B]Yes, and while I'm surprised it hasn't been done before, (to this degree) I'm not really in love with the idea. [/B] There is alot of comedy behind that amplifier and how they displayed it to impress the minions. I for one think the showing is more of a Jedi mind trick. Here's my simple take on it. They had a booth with 60? drivers driven by that amplifier. People were amazed like deer in headlights. Problem is, what was impressive? was it the amp itself, the matrix array of drivers or both ? An array of woofers is very impressive no matter what amp you use, the power of array coupling does the work and all you need is some good power to drive it. RF thread; [URL="http://www.carsound.com/UBB/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=18;t=010998"]http://www.carsound.com/UBB/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=18;t=010998[/URL] Here is my idea for cloning the idea as I posted on that thread. [I]Lets clone the idea; Here is my 5 minute brain[/I] [I]storm session..[/I] [I] [/I] [I]coil_1 -> diode_1 -> cap_1 -> diode_2 -> switch_1 -> rail[/I] [I] [/I] [I]coil_2 -> diode_3 -> cap_2 -> diode_4 -> resistor_1 -> rail[/I] [I] [/I] [I]Cap_1 & cap_2 are isolated from each other[/I] [I]using the diodes.[/I] [I] [/I] [I]Coil_1 is the high voltage coil, coil_2 is the[/I] [I]low voltage coil.[/I] [I] [/I] [I]Power is applied to both transformers {coil_1 and coil_2) charge the[/I] [I]two caps, lets use 200v and 50v for demonstration.[/I] [I] [/I] [I]The resistor_1 is a current sensing resistor[/I] [I]connected to a 'watch dog' circuit monitoring[/I] [I]current draw from the 50v supply.

[/I] ... maybe we should start a new thread and clean this one up, it's way off topic [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
