Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 2342 Registered: Oct-05 | since they are 105 watt resistors wouldn't it take away that much power from your amp? i am assuming you would need to use at least two of those so that means 210 watts. just a thought i have. i am probably wrong. |

Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 1026 Registered: Sep-05 | Trevor Im not sure what you asking. Do you want to simply drop the ohm load of the sub for more output of the amplifier? Or do you just want to measure the power coming out of the amplifer? If its to gain more power it wont work, cause the extra power will be disapated across the resistor in the form of heat. You will need a transformer in this case. =D |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1783 Registered: Sep-04 | i want to do this for example. hook a 200w 1 ohm stable amplifier up to 2 of them wired in series for a 1ohm load. then adjust the gain while playing a 50z tone at 3/4 volume and turn the gain up until i reach appx 14V from the speaker outputs.... so to tune an amp |

Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 932 Registered: Nov-05 | trevor those resistors are .05 ohms not .5 you would only get a .1 ohm load....not a 1 ohm load |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1786 Registered: Sep-04 | wow the whole time i was reading that the "zero" after the decimal was invisible to me lol. i feel dumb... well say for instance they were .5 ohm or 2 ohm for that matter. would they serve my purpose? |
