I estimated PEAK voltage based on watching the DVM numbers flip by.
I took a value 20% above the highest number I saw during normal program material. 10VAC seemed reasonable, while I also ran some numbers at 20VAC.
Mayhaps, I should get out some test tones and try THAT. Than I'll have long enough time to both measure SPL and voltage.
Nowhere NEAR 116db, however. Somewhat lower. I'll get out the ratshack meter and measure that, too. I've never heard a max number, but I somehow doubt a Magnepan will go to 116db.
Between my amp and sub, I have well over a kilowatt. Never tap it to that level, however.
1100 watts per side? That is a nutty 78volts at about 14 amps. Surely near the physical limits of the panel.
Too much is never enough
