but like stinker said its pretty simple, if your good a math i can explain more laer i have class

 

What the..... I damn near deleted that as spam

 

guess, it is the damn euro thing inside me...

Damn, when I would get my hands on an orion amp today- real good old skool
not those skinny, flimsy ones.

 

 

i kinda forget hot to set up an am with just using a DMM though

 

You need:
a) Test tone cd (shoot me a pm if you need it)
b) DMM with AC Voltage setting
c) formula: voltage= SQRT (P x R)

- use a 50Hz or 60 Hz tone ( DMM must be calibrated to this)
- max RMS PWR of the amp multiplied with the speakers resistor and take the root of the result. The result is the max. voltage at peak power.

turn up gain until you reach peak voltage as calculated.
Or a bit lower to have a safety margin.

you are done.

 

so is P is E^2/R

and then you have E^2/R times R

which then makes E^2

and the SQRT of that is E

and your measuring AC in volts

so E=E

 

hehe that was fun.

anyhoo for the other guys who arent crazy at math

if you have 300 watts of power (RMS) at 2 ohms comming from your amp and your subs are wired up at 2ohms resistance

then V = SQRT(300watts X 2 ohms)

so you get V= SQRT ( 600)

so your voltage should be 24.5V

 

you confused me badly...



next time I choose the formula for AC, not DC and then we go wild with complex Z, j and i

 

ooh so we get to talk about magna flux and impedance now do we?
