Welcome to the IHoP

Hmmm, my amp just flashed into protect for just a second when I turned the volume up, never had one do that before.

I need to go get some JOURNEY CDs tomorrow.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Time for bed. I'm exhausted.

Bah, Active >>>>>> passive.

Anyone ever ran pro audio gear off of a power inverter in a car??

[topgun 262]

*goes on the hunt for beer*

[topgun 262]

Any idea if it'd be safe to run a DCX, and two amps at low output ranges (total under 400watts guessing) on a power inverter for a short period of time? *under 2hrs*

I have no idea how clean the power is out of a power inverter.

Oh and pwned on my crossover, the FS of the tweet is 5khz so I need a crossover point around 10khz.

I guess this is what I get for taking a half a second to glance at the specs....

me = pwned.

True sinewave inverters aren't cheap.

But just got a 2nd order at 5khz LR crossover built for the BIB's *only one done* and much to my disappointment the tweeter seems rather harsh.

Maybe cross the tweet over higher with a shallower slope? 5K seems awfully low for that combo.

Down to ~6 cans of beer left, have to remedy that tomorrow when the roommates around.

[topgun 262]

Jim, thats because it is way to damn low.

Most consumer level units are "modified power" in marketspeak, which means square waves...I wouldn't trust them for anything beyond a coffeemaker or cell phone charger.

Good to know.

Those got good reviews in a renewable energy mag I read sometimes.

[topgun 262]

Now have a first order at 10khz. I can actually listen to them now,

[topgun 262]

I don't need one that bad, I'll stick with car amps for now. Them are pricey

[topgun 262]

Hey you guys *looks around* Post dammit.

[JimJ 11]

Them are pricey

You should see the pricetag on inverters meant for interfacing with the power grid 'Spensive stuff...but if you're making/selling back your own electricity it pays for itself.

My roommates think my audio equipment keeps multiplying like a fungus and call the cable jackets that get missed after I clean up from stripping wires the 'spores'. They did give me free reign of the house audio wise... they realize now that it might not have been a wise idea.

Finally.

[topgun 262]

Toppage for me!

[topgun 262]

Hmmm, I'm liking these tweeters.

[Acidburn 10]

i will hopefully have pics tonight or tomorrow of a much cleaner and attractive 3800

[topgun 262]

I think I'm out for bed.

Later ya'll
