If you have an extra battery/headunit laying around i can tell you how to bench it yourself.

I can do that. I have a spare optima redtop awaiting install into my firebird.

and you have a clamp and a Dmm correct?

Yup.

And that Hifonics sub, in the box, sitting at my place as well.

Hook it up and use a charger if you can. Put both probes from the DMM on the speaker wire set to ac voltage 200 or so. put the clamp over the positive speaker wire to the sub set to ac current. play a 60hz for 3 seconds and write down the max numbers and get back to me.

Edit: Amp setting's

Open all filters wide open Set gain to max and turn the head unit up till there is audible distortion.

do a test at 4-5 volume levels and write down the numbers for each one like this example wait a min or so between tests so the battery can come back up/charge

Vol 10 Freq 60hz Current 15amp Voltage 24
Vol 11 Freq 60hz Current 16amp Voltage 26

and so on.

On the speaker wire outputs on the amplifier, correct?

Bwcad1 · Post by **Bwcad1** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 9:17 am

Yes. This is all AC no DC.

Ha, Ok.

I probably won't be able to get around to it until Sunday. I gotta stop and pick up my battery charger from my fiance's brothers' place.

You still haven't done anything with that sub?... Like I should talk as I still have a EA pro sitting around that I want to install
