Big D throughout the years I’ve always warned people against putting “STEALING ME STICKERS” on their rides…

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

Never had anyone break into my rides throughout the years

[@WSKRBSCT]

@@FATHERSOFBASS I'm going to give benefit of the doubt that you have stuff worth stealing; but, I'm guessing you didn't work in auto security. You're an exception. Granted, I think that partly has to do with the fact that big systems are no longer en vogue and because stuff is dirt cheap relative to what it used to cost. Could also be where you live, whether you have a garage, whether you broadcast your sound all over, etc. But, I had friends and customers get jacked at gunpoint when I was still working in the field. I had MB Quart, PPI, AudioControl, and JL Audio in a competition system where everything was stealth and you wouldn't find a sticker within miles of my car. Out of sight, out of mind. I told all my customers the same. I had an alarm that would sound the siren, flash the lights, and kill the car once stopped after one minute of me leaving the car without entering a code. I watched to see if people followed me home and would drive by if they did. I have heard too many horror stories.

[@dextermorgan1]

@@FATHERSOFBASS You're lucky. I've had my shit stolen a few times. A lot of it has to do with where you live. I lived south of Atlanta when I had my big systems. It was inevitable you were going to get something stolen living there.

I got an MTX amp that wants a piece of that deaf bounce on the dyno. MTX92001 that I'm a few days away (waiting for parts delivery) from bringing back to life.... Previous owner smoked: 1. 5 (of 12) 80NF08 power supply fets (being replaced by 064N fets) 2. 4 (of 16) 30N50 output fets 3. 4 3120 optocouplers 4. 2 35v 1000uF voltage regulation caps that smooth the input to the optocouplers 5. The ENTIRE voltage regulation circuit that provides 18v above negative rail to the low side optocouplers. (1 15v zener diode, a diode array, two mmbt42 sot23s, 4 various smd resistors, and a 42N20.) 6. 1 smoked solder joint on a 5W resistor that provides partial high rail to the high side optocouplers 7. And 4 SMD mounted output smoothing capacitors. 8. And a bunch of dodgy attempts to work on this amp by a previous tech whose work I've come across before and it was ALL dodgey to say the least.... 9. And most importantly I had to use Perry Babbins amp repair guide as well as asking him directly for a few pointers on this amp. The guy is downright AMAZING!!

Clip limiting wouldn’t affect the available power. A limiter on the input signal is a very aggressive compression circuit to prevent output clipping. Usually limiting refers to compression ratios of 10:1 or greater. Some manufacturers call this soft limit or whatever.

Hey big d can u Dyno that new 8k by slapz audio ... Would love to see if it really does the power it say . It's cheaper then most 8k amps

[@soniclab-cnc]

Multiple smaller caps generally will offer lower overall ESR. They will also dissipate more heat. Larger caps will obviously offer larger capacity per unit but there is no disadvantage to using multiple smaller caps to make up higher values aside from larger PCB traces and extra layout time. Smaller caps do have higher resonance frequencies than larger high values, and play a large roll in filtering certain frequencies, but in the case of an automotive amp you are only dealing with DC and this does not play as much of a role in choosing a capacitor by size alone. Notice the value of the filter caps on the high side of the switching supply are much lower in value per cap due to the high switching frequency. Likely the power supply is bipolar so 9 caps per rail on the high side.

[@hcho8164]

Depending on quality, small caps failure rate is troublesome down the road as you noted. But my thinking is from power stand point and not signal or filtering, parallel charge and discharge will be faster than serial charge going into a large capacity reservoir. McMillen's amp have always been fast and dynamic and this and his genius are what I attribute it too. But I'm just guessing.

[@thebassgeneratorinc229]

I love these amps ...if I am not mistaken, these are not full-bridge, the Apocalypse series are the Full Bridge offering. I heard that these does great even below rated impedance but the those full bridge are very nice. I hav a few up to the AAB-7900

[@josephscarborough23]

Could you make a list of the Lowest thd bass amps your dynoed and your 4 channels

[@aaronatwood9298]

I slather my car in Boss and Pyramid audio. Built in theft deterrent. 🤣😂 Having multiple small capacitors in parallel lowers the impedance of the power rails and makes for larger surges of power, especially as the output impedance drops. Generates more power, and keeps the individual caps cooler, but if one goes short circuit it’s irrelevant anyways. Also depending of the required filtering and reservoir needs it may be cheaper to use many small caps vs much fewer huge caps.

Looking at Deaf Bonce’s site and where I could find them sold its interesting that they don’t list any amperage numbers, not even recommended fuse size for any of there amps.
