Maybe next time I will ask hard questions. I actually do have some, they just aren't fun at all and I doubt you would know the answers... I just regret never getting to see Aaron humping the monkey... poor sport! Can't say I blame him though, he's embarrassed about that little fetish  Oops, did I type that? I should probably delete it, good thing I didn't mention Dave and his "tree" thing...

Does anyone have a question of the day? Maybe all future car audio posts should be posted in the question of the day. We could probably set some kind of record!

Question of the day....what is the most powerful amp available for home or car audio?
You don't need a link because I know the answer so i'll know if you are wrong.
Oh...and BTW here is a hint, if your answer is over 15000 watts, please post a link....haha....

Biggest amp for the car is the VLX-400 by US Amps, (maybe not the most powerful) by at 48" long and having 4 8ga power and ground wires, certainly not the most effcient either. You could use a 110v AC outlet for a home tone generator (60hz), at 1 ohm that would be close to 12000 watts

Knu,
I always thought it'd be fun to use an AC outlet in the manner you mentioned. I wish it was legal for competition purposes. I would be using 8 TC15HEs from Stryke and a heavy duty extension cord in a big box tuned to 55 hz. I would imagine that in the right vehicle, you could approach the 180 dB threshold...

We do it all the time at work, NOT at 1 ohm though, building may burn down with that kind of current running. If you tune the box lower you can get more xmax out of the woofers, moving more air makes for higher dbs. Too much xmax and the woofer wil bottom for sure with that kind of voltage. This doesnt work everytime, my box was tuned to 26 and was loudest at 55hz, you'd also have to figure in the response of the car or home for that matter

This doesnt work everytime, my box was tuned to 26 and was loudest at 55hz, you'd also have to figure in the response of the car or home for that matter Normally when you use a large box and tune it to about 45 hz, you get a huge spike in the response. Sometimes on the order of 10-13 dB. Without cabin gain, it's always easier to reach high SPLs in the upper bass freq. Cabin gain confuses the issue as to where the biggest boost is. So, I take it you haven't been able to find anything to best 15,000 watts from an amp, huh?
