Actually Les, Yuli, and the rest of you guys are all wrong and dumb and stupid. They got loud by getting instructions out of a cracker jack box. That's why they are the loudest in canada. I'm soooo embarrassed that this jackazz is from mississauga you make me look real bad. Do us all a favour...if you don't want any advice then DON'T POST AND MAKE YOURSELF LOOK LIKE A JACKAZZ

This is why the math doesn't work...

I have 96v a/c out per amp at 1/4 strapped

96 x 96 = 9216 / .25 = 36864 watts peak!!!

I love my earthquakes...!

Well now that I've had the chance to measure the EQ voltage with a load...

37V is the result.

We all know that a load will reduce the voltage.

The original quoted open loop voltage of the EQ is LESS than the loaded voltage of the RF.

The unloaded voltage of the RF is about 90V.

Is 96V measured with a load attached or not?

Non-load numbers aren't that meaningful, unless they're used to compare two amp output capabilities directly head to head.

They can't be used to estimate output wattage unless they are measured with a load on it.

The point I'm trying to make, is that my EQ has a lower voltage WITHOUT a load than my RF does WITH a load.

If my EQ put out 96V without a load, and at least 63V with a load like my RF, I would be happy because the EQ is 2ohm stable but the RF isn't.
