How much power output does it take to get a Sunfire 300~2 to have to put out to get the meter lights to dim?
I don't know but I had both of mine dimming just now play some Laurie Mayer Black Lining. :o
-
We can throw a meter on them at the breaker panel and find out. :o
-
All I have to say is WOW! My system is kicking some @ss! I would have to say it passed the Laurie Mayer test.
My neighbor is away tonight and I decieded to really crank it up. I am loving Sunfire amps!
-
Wow MAN!! You might want to have a engineer take a look at the strctural integrity of your home after tonight!!
-
The house was vibrating pretty good. Windows, doors and my stove were all moving to the groove! ;D

your neighbours are probably going to have to straiten their pictures tomorrow huh!

I just got a pair of JL 13.5 W-7s today and hooked each one up to a Silver7-t monoblock, you want to talk about rocking the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had to watch to move things back on the shelves before they fell off. Those 36" beams in Cabin 12 next year WILL NOT have a speck of dust on them after the first night.

Hey T. I think you went over the edge :D

How big is the cabinet the JL's are in ?, and is it vented or sealed? I was thinking of building one.
Thank you,

I went over the edge a long time ago.

If you go to JL`s website they have all kinds of info for building the subbox for each model of sub.
Mine came in a box that is two boxes in one, ported, and ment to fit in a suv. They will be taken out and new boxes made (one for each) and put into my sterio system using one of my Lightstars using and active crossover that starts around 80 Hz going down to whatever I can find. These damn things go so low you can see the speaker moving like crazy but you don`t hear a thing, but you feel your belly is moving inside.
I think ToyMaker said the sealed box for a 13.5 was only 1.75 cubic ft and for ported was about 2.23 cubic ft

I know you miss your Sunfire 300~2. You can visit it at CF this year. BTW, don't you have a Sunfire 400x5 and a set of Bob Carver custom KT88 tube amps? Wow...with those amps that you have and you are missing the Sunfire 300~2. Must be a good amp! 8)

You need to post some pics of your system Brian. I know everyone will enjoy them!

Well I drove my speakers again over the weekend till I blew out all 4 fuses in my ALIII's. :o That is two 250v 4a slow blow fuses. :o
I had it cranked up pretty good on Friday night and then everything went silent. Freaked me out a bit till I figured that I just popped $4 worth of fuses and not something that would cost me a lot more $$$.

Tom.
I was not going to bring my Sunfire 425 x 5 to CF10
But I think I should bring it down, only so you can play ;D run bi-amped it's so good.
When I crank it up, I get letters from the city, telling me I am breaking a noise by-law. (*uckin neighbours)
Let me know if you want me to bring it. I AM STILL BRINGING MY BOB's 180's

At least they weren't smoking... :o Brian, bring down the Sunfire.

Here's the definition of a joule: The amount of work done by one coulomb flowing through a potential difference of one volt.
So how many joules were your amps pushing the night you fried those fuses?
In watts it had to be 1000watts continuous to blow 250v 4a SLOW BLOW fuses.

That is pushing some power! :o
